SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Star Wars' new story plan is learning from its past mistakes from the sequel trilogy. It's also setting up a stronger foundation for its overarching narratives than was initially seen in the MCU. This is largely evident with the recent live-action debut of former Imperial leader Grand Admiral Thrawn, set to become a major threat to the known galaxy in the aftermath of the original trilogy.
Star Wars' Sequel Trilogy Showed A Massive Lack Of Planning While there is plenty to love about the sequel trilogy, it's no secret that it's one of the most divisive and controversial elements of Disney's ownership of the Star Wars franchise. This is largely due to the massively unclear and large lack of planning when it comes to the overarching narrative across episodes.
While the broad strokes of the MCU's first overarching narrative are still quite strong, it's things such as the aforementioned elements that show how plans were changed project by project. The true genius of Marvel's Kevin Feige is his flexibility and the ability to react to what's working and ditch what isn't. The MCU's a lot more reactive than anybody thinks.
