I agree, in so far as revisiting it in Episode IX -- and making it damn near the focus of that final installment -- undercut any sense of meaningful progress.Imagine how much trouble could have been avoided if we just had crystal clear origins back in TFA. There was never any real need to make her origins a dramatic reveal in the first place, having that hanging over it hamstrung the films.
It suggests a lack of passion, vision, and creative throughput. Basically, the sense one gets from watching the movie.Tbh that's not that much different from rewriting and adjusting story in editing, reshoot, post-production. Writing is a fluid process.
I don't buy in this mindset of "pre-planing" one's writing as an indication of "passion, vision, and creative throughput". On a related topic your movie could have "passion, vision, and creative throughput" but that's not a guarantee of quality (i.e: Zack Snyder movies).It suggests a lack of passion, vision, and creative throughput.

Edit: To be clear, by no means am I laying all those sins solely at JJ's feet ...
You're not wrong that the passion can be there regardless (see: FFVII), but the lack of the other two is somewhat inherent in a lack of deliberate direction. That can still result in a happy accident greater than the sum of its parts (see: FFVII), but generally such an approach isn't a good sign.I don't buy in this mindset of "pre-planing" one's writing as an indication of "passion, vision, and creative throughput".

Anakin is checkmated, anything he can do ends in 'Force Pushed into Lava.' Even another Force push lock won't save him, as Obi will get thrown backwards into solid ground while he will get pushed into lava. So his choices are 'desperate leap to better ground' or 'surrender'.
Edit: I don't mean to present the above as The One True Way, but the fandom obsesses over that line so much.
They appear to be telekinetically controlling them throughout the fight. Obi-Wan doesn't have his platform begin floating down the river until Anakin advances on him; they drift around obstacles separately before veering back towards one another; Anakin has the platform float back to the position along the riverbank where Obi-Wan jumped; etc.Do we know if they can actually control those platform things?
