I still lay everything at the feet of JJ. He made a lazy, if still serviceable, first film in a trilogy that set up mystery boxes with no good answers. How would you have handled Luke after The Force Awakens? There’s no good answer, because he’s in hiding not dealing with the problem he helped create (hey, just like Yoda and Obi-wan were doing in the OT!). That was JJ’s decision, and the reason for everything that follows.

Maybe so. I saw the Force Awakes as doing the safest thing possible, which was remake the original movie. I liked it okay. I think they screwed up the trilogy by making it up as they went along. From what I understand, that's Abrams' style.
