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

I think that was kind of the point. Poe says , "We are the spark that will light the fire that will burn the First Order down." Even though there was only about a dozen Resistance fighters left at the end, 'the fire' will spread, uniting everyone that opposes the First Order across the galaxy. Or the First Order finds the Millennium Falcon, destroys it and ends the Resistance once and for all.

But this doesn’t make sense within the context of the film. Who is going to spread the message? No one in the Millenium Falcon knows what happened to Luke. Kylo Ren may have killed him for all they know. I don’t think the First Order is going to talk. Plus they lost everything and are at best a crumbled North Korea.

It’s just pointless. It really is if the Nazis and Soviets mutually destroyed all of their forces at Stalingrad. The rest of the world would be thinking “Well that really worked out in the end, didn’t it?” and then collectively rejoice.
