Then.....we get Finn the wise cracking swashbuckling sidekick.
The very idea of two competing directors both doing everything they could to undo what the previous one had done is pretty comical. These are films with $300-400+ million dollar budgets and no one thought to have a plan ahead of time or reign in the pettiness of the directors.

The whole thing was just a comedy of errors.
JJ made a remake of ANH and then passed the ball until he got a panicked phone call and then knee-jerked into an expensive over-reaction.
What a disaster.
None of the characters were good, interesting or even had much of anything to do.
The Star Wars Galaxy is pretty much the same at the end of third film as it was at the beginning of the first. Maybe with less Palpatine. Maybe. He has a tendency to become alive again for reasons.
Maybe Ian McDiarmid has back-end rights that require him to be included? I dont know.
