We live in a timeline where JJ Abrams would have saved Episode 8 if he had written and directed it

>We live in a timeline where JJ Abrams would have saved Episode 8 if he had written and directed it

No. Fuck Abrams. TFA is so garbage not even my nephew could remain engaged in it. They should've gotten real directors for Marvel Wars not just glorified businessmen.

he didn't even make the 7th one good? He just did a shitty rehash of ANH

These our disneys scripts not JJs, Not Rians

>He just did a shitty rehash of ANH
Um he had heaps of original ideas

>Knights of Ren
>Luke gone off to look for an ancient Jedi temple as Han tells Rey and Finn
>Ex storm trooper joining the Rebels
>Poe
>Snoke
>General Hux
>Rey wanting to find out who her parents were
JJ left the story to Rian and he fucked up. JJ could have done an impressive job if he wrote it instead

TFA is basically how a businessman sees Star Wars. Dude just pretends everything is in status quo and just repeats shit. JJ is not a film director. He's a businessman. Everything in his films exist for the sole reason of business. This is why JJ can never ever reach to the status of Nolan or Villeneuve or even Snyder. The latter directors value the film over business. JJ just considers film business. This is why his films have this hollow empty touch of nothing beneath.

An Empire Strikes Back rehash where Rey's parents are revealed and she loses a hand would have been better than what we got.

If that is saved then it was doomed from the beginning, which we already knew. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just like Lost, JJ left tons of retarded loose ends to some other sucker to salvage. This is what JJ does. He rewards himself and leaves others to pay the price for it.

How can anyone like TFA after the initial viewing? It is hardly watchable with all the yelling and crappy jokes

Fuck off. The whole story was a complete rehash with “bigger” elements. I still find it amazing how they couldn’t even change from a desert planet for the beginning.

No he wouldn't. The problem is not the director it is the producers.

We'd just fucking get Star Trek into darkness 2.0

Everyone exected an Empire rehash and they got something completely original instead. Now everyone's angry and confused

>heaps of original ideas
>original ideas
>original

>Knights of Ren
Evil Jedi Knights
>Luke gone off to look for an ancient Jedi temple as Han tells Rey and Finn
"Luke, you have to find ancient Jedi Master Yoda" - Ben
>Ex storm trooper joining the Rebels
Han Solo's character arc in 30 minutes
>Poe
Luke without a character arc
>Snoke
Lol
>General Hux
Tarkin
>Rey wanting to find out who her parents were
Luke

fuck off JIDF

>Super 8

>tfw an ESB rehash would have been better
Oh well, now that people pissed with TLJ we'll be getting ROTJ rehashed and I can't even fathom how the fuck it will terribly go.

>Rian left Leia alive but killed off Snoke and Luke in the same movie
I can't imagine how JJ will work around the absolute disaster that was episode 8

As if bringing Solo back from elderly care only to abruptly die wasn't worse.

Just face it, Marvel Wars is fucked.

This whole fucking debable is a direct result of how JJ chose to write TFA, actually.

They shouldve have found someone dedicated enough to do the Trilogy the right way; for the TRUE fans (not the casual tumbliria faggots that exist here, apparently) or not have have done it at all

Any questions? Fuck you.

Should've**

sorry, drunk as fuck and depressed about this shit

IT WAS FORCE DREAM OF THE FUTURE, THERE WAS NO EPISODE VIII, HERE'S THE REAL EPISODE VIII FROM JJ.

>impying it's not execution that also matters
Or are you going to concede the prequels are good now?

JJ Abrams is a destroyer of narrative, not a saver. He has never written a coherent or satisfying plotline in his entire career.

This is so true, JJ is only good at asking questions that never get answered.

Sources: LOST, TLJ (since none of his plot was answered)

Absolute worst case scenario right here but definitely cause for concern in terms of the franchise

>JJ left the story to Rian and he fucked up.
maybe he should have done some fucking writing then

>Poe
>Luke
Try shitty Han Solo. Finn was the C3PO/R2 to Rey's Luke.

>quick what was in ROTJ?
>slave leia
>we can't have that sir, Kathleen will murder us
>Have Poe, Finn and Kylo go topless and wear metal briefs!

>be JJ
>start a trilogy with bunch of unanswered questions
>leave nothing for the guy expected to answer these questions
JJ got rightfully dumped in the face by Rian. Lindelof spent six fucking years trying to cover up JJ's bullshit in Lost. Rian was having none of that. Palpatine 2.0? Nah fuck that he sucks and he's dead now. JJ can go fuck himself for constantly doing this shit. Leave ton of mysteries without answers and expect some other poor fool to do the job for you.

>Falling for Jar Jars mystery box bullshit again

If he had any shred of talent, he would have written a good movie instead of baiting people with a carrot on a string.

Please never compare someone as GOAT as Tarkin with Hux. Hux is basically Ron Weasly as an Imperial toadie. Hux is at best closer to that one officer guy in ANH who pissed off Vader.

All of those ideas not being fleshed out is what makes it shitty. If Star Wars never got a sequel, it would have been a perfectly fine one- off movie. A good movie is self-contained.

I'm glad Rian shat on the mystery box. What kind of hack raises a bunch of questions for some other poor bastard to answer?

Honestly Rey should have died. She was getting too arrogant.
Then Luke can teamup with whoever, and they work together to beat kylo.
