I'm still not entirely convinced they completely abandoned George's outline. Modified sure but the fact that the name Kylo Ren is a George name is evidence that they've at least kept parts of it.
Also, I'm glad that the ideas for the ST aren't coming directly from the filmmakers. Especially Abrams. He's never cared for story as evidenced by the writer friends he's employed and helped break into the industry.
I have a lot more faith in the Story Group which is made up of people who have been deeply involved with Star Wars for years than I do random outsiders.
As for Hart, she sounds like the go-between for the Story Group and Kennedy and everyone else.
