well DUH!
Lucasfilm’s biggest mistake with the Star Wars sequel trilogy was an overall lack of planning and forethought. George Lucas has always liked to claim he had the entire Star Wars saga planned out from the start. Of course, that’s something of an exaggeration; there’s abundant evidence he was essentially making it up as he went along, and frankly there’s no shame in doing so. Darth Vader had a completely different backstory before he was retconned into being Luke’s father, and Lucas only hit upon that idea when working on the second draft of The Empire Strikes Back.
George Lucas always had an outline for all NINE films. The finer details was left to be filled in.
Any writer who uses an outline before doing any story, knows this!

This whole “no plan” is on one person, and ONE PERSON ONLY. KK!
She was in charge of all of Lucasfilm.
If she was making a trilogy, then knowing what all three stories are IS A MUST OF THE JOB!
The MCU had a plan.
Disney star wars’s only plan was to milk it (cash cow) for all it was worth.
