Alien WAS a soup of different directors and writers. Now it is Scott this, Scott that. He powered over another directors attempt at a direct sequel that would've continued the mishmash of directors in the series just because.
He has too much control over the series that should've stopped being "his" after the first movie but somehow, after noping out until 2012, it still is.
There is a balancing act between protecting your franchise under the OG creators and respecting what they've done, and then handing an absent minded psycho with no regard for the franchise continual creative control over it, any other ideas be damned, and then accepting every hairbrained idea that comes from him as a good one.
It could be worse. It could be better. You won't know until you give the other guys a shot.
I personally don't feel that ANY Star Wars are better than the OG trilogy. The prequels, all Lucas were too clunky, poorly paced, and sometimes (I'm guessing because of the clunky dialogue) poorly acted. The sequels not lucas, were never following one narrative path, but also leaned onto Rey being some kind of I can do everything perfect Mary Sue character that killed any kind of tension. Don't worry guys, Rey will get us out of this, she's simply better at everything than anybody else.
Rogue 1 felt more like TESB than anything (that I've seen, haven't watched all the disney stuff) has before or since.
Because we are in the age of multiverses, reboots, etc a poor film can just be axed anyways if they do suck.
