I'm still completely baffled by the sequels: who thought it was a good idea to plan a trilogy without, you know, writing a trilogy? And why weren't they laughed out of the room? So much wasted potential from Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

That’s how the first two trilogies were made.

No, they weren't. (1) George had a plan for multiple episodes (if not a script) when the first was released, and (2) they weren't handing them off to different people each time. Also: the prequels were utter garbage. A plan helps but it's not sufficient.

George had no plan. Vader was not Luke’s father until the second draft of ESB. Leia was not Luke’s sister until they were writing RotJ. Lando was a clone. Absolutely nothing was set except the Emperor corrupting the Republic and Obi-Wan knocking Vader into lava after he’d killed Luke’s father.

You seem confused between having every detail nailed down and having a plan.

He had no plan. He had no details.

Oh and, even if it was true: (3) getting lucky once, doesn't justify gambling again.
