re: George Lucas disappointed with the lack of creativity in The Force Awakens

As a Trekkie, I didn't like the revamp as a movie of continuity/discontinuity/start all over again, but as a stand alone it was decent. I was more interested in the revitalization of the franchise, which I feel he didn't do. The whole alternate "timeline" didn't work for me. I guess I was looking for something like what Craig did with Bond--still be Bond but give it an extra something.
