Yes Rian should have focused on better continuity with JJ but Rian nailed the force and the Rey:Ren relationship so much better than JJ did it made me retroactively disappointed in TFA. I really look forward to the New Trilogy.
So Abrams is at fault for setting up questions that actually tantalized the audience? Isn't that the point?

How did Johnson nail the force? Flying Leia? Lighting strikes from force ghosts? Projecting holograms? Unrelenting power over jedi's with years of training with no effort or learning required? The force officially has no more rules.

This series is doomed. Abrams is going to have to be a next level genius to actually make episode 9 interesting at all.
