J. J. Abrams On The Sequel Trilogy Should've Been Mapped Out
One of the most interesting things about the Star Wars universe is that almost all the live action movies have different directors. Most notably, of course, is George Lucas (A New Hope and the prequels). Then, we have Irvin Kershner (Empire Strikes Back) and Richard Marquand (Return of the Jedi).

Abrams and Rian Johnson helmed the sequels, which have arguably been some of the most contested Star Wars live action films with fans having opinions all over the map in regards to the three films.

A Look At Imperial Propaganda
One of the most impressive and terrible things about the Empire is how swiftly and completely they were able to take over from the Republic. This mighty institution of democracy had stood for thousands of generations, and while it certainly wasn't perfect, it at least represented the potential of freedom in the galaxy.
