Where's the Story arc?

Rating: Null/10 (31 August 2018)

It's a trilogy linked to another trilogy, as well as spin-off movies. How can Rian not understand what a story arc and not understand how to create consistency with the other movies.
But the thing that annoys me most, is that someone signed off on this movie. Would generally love to know what went through their head.
This film only makes money and has high rating because of people who haven't watched the other films, and because as a stand alone film it is visually good - even though it doesn't make sense.
