re: JJ Abrams wrote all 3 screenplays for the sequel trilogy, Johnson scrapped everything

I don’t understand how this got past a script supervisor’s desk, especially if they had read Abrams previous script. Like I highly doubt that Abrams would have made the mistake of not having a central protagonist. I’m just asking for pretty much bottom of the barrel competency. I understand the prequels since George controlled everything, but there are too many moving pieces for me to accept this from Disney.

i think what happened is they just asked some focus groups about TFA and the #1 compliant was too much like NH, so they said okay lets go in the other direction & just left it at that. Just because i don't want my coffee ice cold doesn't mean I want it so scalding hot that it puts me in I mean the hospital.
