- Speaking recently to The New York Times, J.J Abrams elaborated on why he thought fans weren't satisfied with The Last Jedi. It’s a bit of a meta approach to the story. I don’t think that people go to ‘Star Wars’ to be told, ‘This doesn’t matter.’

When asked by Rolling Stone what he thought of Snoke getting killed off, Abrams said, “When I read his first draft, it made me laugh, because I saw that was [Rian Johnson’s] take and his voice. I got to watch cuts of the movie as he was working on it, as an audience member. And I appreciated the choices he made as a filmmaker that would probably be...
Abrams also revealed what most surprised him in the film: “I felt the biggest surprise was how dark Luke was,” the director said, referring to how the story painted Luke as a man who cut himself off from the Force and went into a self-imposed exile to die alone because, in a moment of weakness, he considered killing Ben Solo. That fateful choice led to his apprentice destroying the Jedi Academy and becoming a monster of the Dark Side known as Kylo Ren.
But Abrams didn’t see that surprise as a negative and in fact praised Johnson’s film for defying expectations.
But did these unexpected twists derail the vision Abrams had for the whole trilogy? Apparently not.
“I had a real sense with [The Force Awakens co-screenwriter] Larry Kasdan about where things would go, potentially. And I think that, when I read Rian’s script, what I felt was that with everything that happens in that movie, and quite a lot does, nothing sort of obviated a sense of inevitability where I thought the story could go,” Abrams said.
