The issue with The Force Awakens was a weak script imo. It had too much reliance on far too familiar Star Wars territory and many people described it as a loose remake of A New Hope. It certainly didn't feel as brave as Rogue One. The most interesting moment was the death of Han Solo and that was just at the insistence of Harrison Ford. btw Even that seems quite unoriginal as the 1977 film had Obi-Wan killed by Vader.

Let's hope that Episode 9 turns out much better than JJ Abrams' last effort...
Shameful waste of Max von Sydow too. The whole film was just shockingly shit! Will The Last Jedi just be a pale, semi-remake of The Empire Strikes Back with little bits added on to make the film look slightly different from a "true classic" like Empire??? I'd say place your bets now.
