But I think that's why Rian wanted to do the project - he got to do whatever he wanted without interference
Rian is quoted as saying he was surprised that there wasn't a whiteboard which listed all the plot points and he had broad discussions the the Lucasfilm team about where the story was going but he liked working on TLJ because he had the freedom to do whatever he wanted. It was the same as working on Looper - which is crazy to give someone like him that much freedom.

I think that's a selling point to attract top writer/directors - do whatever you want. The benefit Disney & Lucasfilm have is the flexiblity to do whatever new idea those superstar writer/directors come up with.
TLJ producer Ram Bergman is quoted as saying that 90% of what audiences saw on the screen is Rian's FIRST DRAFT he wrote in 2 weeks - which I think is the biggest core issue with TLJ (there was no oversight to what Rian was doing and they just went with his first draft).

But that's not how Disney, one would think, works. At the very least some kind of loose outline for the trilogy. {nm} Jun 13, 12:30
