If so, I'd be quite pissed... [spoiler] - I'm no expert, but why clone a genderbent Luke Skywalker from the hand ? - There's already a Luke Skywalker clone from his chopped off hand in the Expanded Universe. But we all know Disney shat on most of EU stuff, simply because they can. [/spoiler]
I think thinking that Abrams is responsible for the plot weaknesses and key scenes is a little naïve. There were likely dozens of people working on the script. Abrams had a part in it, but I don't think the plot would have been much different with another director. Disney decides where the franchise is going, not Abrams.
He was involved as a consultant in pre-production. He proposed a story draft that was discarded because disney wanted to make a movie for the fans. In November 2015, Lucas said that Disney was "not that keen" to involve him and conceded: "If I get in there, I'm just going to cause trouble because they're not going to do…
I'm sure Disney had their say, but Abrams Kasdan and Arndt wrote the script. And I don't think Disney mandated it take place on a desert planet, have a droid looking for its master with secret information, leave said planet on millennium falcon, have a guy who is basically darth vader, another death star, another death…
Well, I am the one disappointed about the movie. All video effects are top quality, everything else is so bad.

Lucas sold the franchise, the canon can be whatever Disney wants it…
I'd say the fact that the movie hits pretty much the same story beats as a new hope is a very deliberate attempt to banish the prequels from people's minds as well as remind people and get others up to speed with a movie that came out a long, long time ago. I think the probably overdid it, really, but I can understand why…
WHERE THE FUCK WAS JAR JAR BINKS. I would have laugh so much if it was him instead of luke at the end. Missa was waiting for tussa. I mean 99,99% of the planet hates him, but he's THE disney character. (ok that wall-e robot was cute as hell too) We went see star wars with the company's fans :) I arranged for us to have an…
