It's kinda like Abrams handed the writer/director of this one a huge setup for the next 2 films. A mystery evil guy needing a story, a young hero needing her story, oh, here's Leia and a good Luke mystery at the end. Lots of potential with this stuff. And this guy is all, gee, thanks...your bad guy? Toast. Hero girl? LOL. No story. Luke? Blamo! Old Admiral Akbar? Kapow! You can have Leia though, even though Carrie Fisher is dead now. So uh, good luck writing that one...
And Abrams is like....sigh. Thanks buddy.
