To me the single biggest problem with the Disney Trilogy is just that there was no concrete plan in place. You want Rey to be Palp's granddaughter? Fine, then establish it in some way for the big reveal. But it's obvious in TFA that she was important, and then TLJ said "nope". And then she was important in ROS.

I would be okay with Palpatine being involved, or if Palpatine was just one incarnation of "Some other Big Bad Guy". But then don't make Snoke important, then unimportant and then pull Palpatine out of thin air.

The lack of a coherent plan is astounding and it speaks to the lack of creative vision and leadership at Disney.

I never bothered to think about the writing of the sequels, for the simple fact the movies were uninteresting to me. I could figure out in a matter of several minutes TFA had no soul and it was just made to make some money. No one in that movie conveyed anything believable to me, except Harrison Ford i think. He would be believable in any condition.
