There is nothing wrong with having 3 directors and writers handle 3 episodes, but they need someone making sure it is coherent and follows a plan. Not having a master plan for these 3 is a huge mistake.

Just because you can't see the plan doesn't mean there isn't one, judgement on that needs to be reserved until you see part 3.
And doing a defacto remake of a new hope is hardly a clean slate.
I actually think the need to explain every little background thread hanging out their is the main problem with ep 1 -3. It's ok to leave things lingering, its ok that Snook was a big player in the Star Wars Universe with a small on screen role to play, it's fine that there isn't some graph explaining where Reys parents came from. We've seen the alternative and it's worse.
