I appreciate the fact that Johnson at least diverged from the "soft reboot" formula of TFA, but different doesn't automatically mean better - especially when it seems to be different with no reasoning or depth behind these differences or "twists". I do believe it's possible to make a Star Wars film that's not a complete rehash (TFA) while ALSO not ending up a complete disaster of a nonsensical plot with zero depth or continuity w/previous canon (TLJ) - though maybe this is more difficult than I realized because I've yet to see this achieved.. Ep 3 was probably the closest to pulling this off but unfortunately it was riddled with many flaws and corny, lame moments that bogged it down somewhat..
