It's going to take much more than a convoluted retcon job go fix this franchise. TLJ just left too much of a bad taste in many fans' mouths. What they should really do is just wipe TLJ and ROS out of existence and follow up TFA with a couple of decent films. Keep Snoke as the main villian. Maybe have him turn out to be Plagueis and be a little more gray, instead of pure evil like Palpatine. Add some actual weaknesses to Rey and stop having her OP. Do something interesting with Finn and the Knights of Ren. You can still have Luke die, but bring the old Luke back and have him make an ultimate sacrifice that even means a damn.
Instead of repairing the blot on the franchise that was the prequels, they took a hammer to the franchise to mold it into some mindless, hollow shadow of its former self.
