I actually like what he did with Star trek. He never went bat-shit crazy sci-fi fantasy on those ones. But Star wars is so difficult to swallow. I think he has thrown me from a star wars fan to a trekkie.
Star wars was not only a copy of episode 4, but its super weapon and character developments were incredibly more breakful of the suspension of disbelief. It made episode 7 very difficult to enjoy. You literally had to throw everything you knew about SW and science out the window to enjoy this new nonsensical and isolated story. If you had removed the old characters (Han, Leia, Luke, Chewie) and replaced with new ones and said this was the old republic, we wouldnt be any the wiser. Thats how little context we got.
