HARD disagree.
Johnson’s a great director but he threw out the Abram’s and Kasdans three film treatment and made shit up in the fly that didn’t fit with the first or third film in the trilogy.
The whole movie is the rebellion running around in a circle. Mark Hammil was on record for thinking his character was all wrong.
Lea force pulling out of no where.
It’s a huge fucking mess with what little redeeming qualities it had were meaningless in the larger trilogy story.
The rest of the trilogy was just "let's rip off the original trilogy, surely nobody will notice, also Palpatine somehow returned", so making shit up on the fly was honestly the right decision there
Plus, Rey being basically a nobody was much better than the weird borderline fashy "she's from a Great Bloodline" shit
