Anyway, I’m fine with this. There are more potentially interesting choices out there, but I already know I like J.J.'s flavor of Star Wars. As long as he’s learned a lesson from the reaction to Starkiller Base and/or the story group reigns him in enough to prevent anything else like that, I’m on board.
I think the bigger issue is JJ’s perhaps unconscious use of weaponized intertextuality:
