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.

HE set up questions that weren't answerable while telling any reasonably coherent movie. This mystery solving aspect of Star Wars has no basis in Lore. There were two exciting reveals in Star Wars. Leia and Luke's father. And neither were questions that you debated between movies. So yes Abrams is at fault for asking tantalizing questions without answering them or having an answer for him. He has no track record of satisfyingly closing any mystery he has built.
Rian nailed the the force as a religion where the Jedi aren't some perfect order. The Lucus force is childish in that there is a light and a dark and that's it. The Jedi being responsible for great amounts of war and suffering has always been a conversation of nerds. We're the Jedi actually a force of good in the universe is open to interpretation. Exploring this aspect of the force is far more interesting then the arbitrary good bs evil.
