It is very obvious that Johnson totally changed the story. In my opinion that was a big mistake, they should have kept the story-arc from JJ over this three movies. No doubt they made a mistake to give him such a free hand and let him mess up the trilogy.

Sounds like Star Wars needed a Kevin Feige. A total lack of direction across your multi-billion dollar property’s different movies… 1-2-3, where any thought put into 2 and 3 is scrapped after 1, and any thought put into 3 is scrapped after 2.

No wonder Last Jedi sucked as hard as it did, and did much worse than TFA.

Johnson left Abrams with a mess, and no direction in how to clean it up. So what Abrams needs to do is give Rey time powers, something like Force Projection, but over time not distance, so she can warn herself, and have her reset the trilogy to before Last Jedi. Since it doesn’t matter what the previous people did, its the best option!

In reply to Lucasian. I honestly wouldn't f*cking care if it was just the empire strikes back script copied and pasted, anything would've been better than the fucking train wreck that was the last Jedi. Just the fact that Johnson trashed his plans for the story, killed all of the interesting characters without any thought to the future films, and completely disneyised the franchise, pretty much ruins any chance of Abrams being able to do anything to help the trilogy. Johnson completely snubbed all of the even remotely interesting plot points that Abrams left him and now there's nowhere left for the star wars universe to go. I just know that I'm gonna be waiting for episode 9 to get released online for free.

Abrams ‘story’ was probably dreadful, given the dearth of story in TFA. So no major loss.
