...that the best thing to come out of it is from a guy who's not a fan of it?
Not trolling. Genuinely wondering.
From what I can tell based on interviews, Tony Gilroy adopted a learner's mind, dug into the lore, made sure he thoroughly understood the bones of universe, took his time with his section of the world building, then populated that section with believable human beings.
Contrast this with Rian Johnson, who thought he understood it going in, and was mainly interested in the artistic ways he could subvert its tropes.
Both were interested in showing something new, but one approach added to what was there, while another took away, destructively, IMHO.
