I don't know if he carries the full blame for Star Wars. Between corporate direction and Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi, he certainly wasn't the only force working against them.

Abram's Trek was... fine in the first movie, hated the second. Third was okay, but it really got away from Trek. Plus I think it encouraged the path the shows are taking now. Trek needs its own "Mandalorian" - a gritty, episodic take on that universe.

I think it needs the Orville. Star Trek isn’t supposed to be gritty. It’s supposed to be an optimistic look at the future where logic, science, and reason help people solve complex social problems ripped from current events. I feel the issue with JJ’s trek is that he tried to make it too much like Star Wars. It was fun, but wasn’t what Trek should be all about. Trek isn’t based on samurai or mythology epics. Trek is Wagon Train in space. Each episode is about meeting a new people presenting an interesting problem or moral dilemma for the crew. Trek should always be lofty, principled, and optimistic.
