If I go and make a film and claim that it's a sequel to the 2007 film, does that make it so? No. Only the creators of the original product can claim it to be a sequel of what they created.

So if J.J. Abrams says that Last Jedi is not a sequel to The force awakens then that means it not a sequel?????
I just don't agree. If the director says that this movie was a sequel to the original live action trilogy then I think it is. Unless Laird were to say other wise, bc (I think he had a hand to some degree in both films.)

If they wanted it to be in continuity, they should have WRITTEN it that way. They didn't.

I mean if the director say it's a sequel then it is...... I think the movie has several nods to the old movies. I am actually surprised this thread is still going
curse op for making such a controversial thread
I do believe that this movie is at least a sequel in spirit. (I don't know what I mean by that)
I think that an argument can be made for either or.
