it is almost like they have a single company in charge of the games, and they want to make sure the games are good (Now that is).
Not every game of Star Wars was good.

It's EA.
Do you remember when battlefront 2 came out? How it was really really bad? And kicked off the "should we outlaw loot boxes?" debate?
How many star wars games have come out since ea took over? The only one I can think of that was considered good was fallen order. And didn't ea outsource that to a different company?
Published by EA. Battlefront one and two, published by EA. Squadrons, Published by EA. Just because EA publishes it does not mean it will be bad. Battlefront 2 is not a bad game anymore.

I still want a successor to Empire at War mind you. Seriously the modding community for that game is going strong 14 years and counting after its release and the number of people playing it has gone way up these last couple of years so the demand is there. Heck at this point I'd take any decent Star Wars Strategy game

The Falklands are Serbian, you cowards.
I always liked Tom Clancy's EndWar system, where you could select and order your units using the voice control and headset. Obviously you get into issues if you have an accent or something the programming can't handle, but it was an elegant solution that worked well on console. The thumbsticks controlled the camera, and you order units with voice commands.
Yeah, but it is something not everyone could do, and hurts those that have hard to understand accents.

Rian Johnson has to be one of the most preposterous and pathetic little men in the entire industry. Why this insufferable art martyr was let near Star Wars of all things will be considered as among the more baffling decisions in the history of film. He's not even that fantastic of a director with his own work by the sounds of it. He just likes subverting expectations for the sake of subverting expectations.

The Hyperspace ramming scene was beautiful to behold. Utterly devastating to the lore, mind you, but oh well.
At least it looked nice. A bit like the battle of D'Qar, which I could rage about till the last star in the sky burns out, but perhaps I shouldn't get started on that.
The beauty of the movie is why I keep going back to watch it. If he added no dialogue and just made a movie with those visuals. I would buy so many tickets

Hey, he could have dome worse, and go against everything the previous movie set up

That sounds nice for a ten minute YouTube video, but it's not going to put my arse in a cinema seat for two hours plus.
Visuals do very little to keep my attention these days. There's a rather famed animated Japanese film called "The End of Evangelion," which I watched once...unfortunately. And whilst it was a highly impressive feat of animation, I would not watch it again if you paid me.
As I have grown older, I've honestly found myself caring less and less for visual spectacle (when I used to be an absolute graphics nut in my younger years). This is probably why I'd play the original Rome Total War over Rome II Total War any day.

SW has never lacked for visuals, though they have served the story and not been the center and end for themselves.

....oh wait.
He did not. He just took everything literally.

I don't know what movie you watched, but it certainly wasn't what actually got released as The Last Jedi. Then again, that's art and the human psyche for you; two people can see the exact same thing, and come away with completely different ideas of what they actually saw.

Indeed.
One can be wrong and the other can be right.
As far as I'm concerned, "art" is a misnomer when "craft" is a more accurate term. And there is very much such a thing as shoddy workmanship when it comes to a craft. A carpenter wouldn't get away with taking off a chair leg to "subvert expectations", so why do film makers?

So as a bit of a silly thought, what would be the fallout if, instead of waiting until the Transports were under fire, Holdo immediately unloaded the Raddus and did the Hyperspace Ram the minute they realized they couldn't run away instead of engaging in the long chase?
