J.J. Abrams' Star Trek and Star Wars trilogies received considerable backlash for their middle films, but do they really deserve all the critcism?
J.J. Abrams' Star Trek movies were arguably an audition for his Star Wars movies, but the middle films in both modern trilogies faced a considerable fan backlash, though one was more deserving than the other. Abrams didn't direct Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but he was key to revitalizing the Lucasfilm franchise for the Walt Disney Corporation.
But rather than seek out the new stories the Kelvin timeline allowed for, Star Trek Into Darkness instead remade Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Khan's appearance in Star Trek Into Darkness didn't have the desired effect on fans, however. It's easy to see why fans took against Cumberbatch's portrayal of Khan Noonien Singh. First, there's a problematic whitewashing of the character due to casting the British Cumberbatch as Khan.
How Into Darkness Mirrors Star Wars: The Last Jedi Fittingly, the problems with Star Trek Into Darkness' attempts at fan service are more similar to how J.J. Abrams' The Rise of Skywalker attempted to "fix" the perceived issues created by Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi. However, there are still comparisons to be made between Into Darkness and The Last Jedi, most notably in how both movies were deemed to have failed to capture the spirit of their respective franchises.
