The difference in depth in how they approached TLJ vs TROS is heartbreaking, honestly
And I'm really not cherry picking quotes here, all of the TLJ art book is driven by story, character, theme, purpose, whereas the TROS art book is very, throwing shit at the wall, trying to find something that is neat or cool, and JJ/Terrio changing things constantly
