I didn't feel like going into your proposals because they sounded like shit and rely on stupid plot twists and I didn't want to be rude. My only point was (and still is) that his creative freedom was severely limited because Jar Jar shoe-horned him into remaking a movie that resembles Episode 5 in one way or the other.
I don't see how the republic can do anything since the ENTIRE REPUBLIC FLEET was wiped out by starkiller base.

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
The EU still had remnants of the old Empire fighting the new republic and controlling significant chunks of the galaxy. 30 years later doesn't mean they couldn't have the war going on still. Hell the US is currently closing in on 20 years straight of war in Iraq/Afghanistan. It would have been more logical then the Empire being defeated bu the FO somehow being even stronger and coming out of nowhere even though it was formed by a small chunk of the Empires forces in the unknown regions of the galaxy.
TO FIX WOW:1. smaller server sizes & server-only LFG awarding satchels, so elite players help others. 2. "helper builds" with loom powers - talent trees so elite players cast buffs on low level players XP gain, HP/mana, regen, damage, etc. 3. "helper ilvl" scoring how much you help others. 4. observer games like in SC to watch/chat (like twitch but with MORE DETAILS & inside the wow UI) 5. guild leagues to compete with rival guilds for progression (with observer mode).6. jackpot world mobs.

To sum up:
The sequel trilogy is too obsessed with either giving fan service or subverting expectations and not focused on creating interesting characters and just telling a good story.

Pretty much. Though I would say the "subverting expectations" experiment is over with Rian Johnson on the outs, and Kevin Feige in to develop future films. J.J Abbrams just pisses off less people because let's the honest, a vast majority of the Star Wars audience, IE: general audience, are satisfied with nostalgia trips and fan service.
The 3rd faction forcing them to join forces I can see the argument for. But the others I don't see needng a huge plot twist or reeeeally being that much of a stretch.
You keep making this bolded claim without backing it up in any way. How was RJ he show horned into a movie that resembles Episode 5 when the ending of TFA was ridiculously wide open. Its funny you talk about how my 3 ideas (which obviously would need to be refined and finessed a bit again they were just basic ideas of where the story could have gone) are bad because they depend on stupid plot twists but RJs entire movie depended on the First Order having such an insurmountably big military force squirreled away that they were able to take over the galaxy by force in a matter of days. Talk about shitty plot twists.
Jj LeFt RiAn WiTh No OtHeR OpTiOn. This is the same horrible argument people make regarding Luke where they try to pin the blame on JJ for Luke being a bitter old man. It doesn't hold up because there are ALWAYS other options, especially when you have complete creative control like Rian did. He CHOSE to remake ESB because he wanted to "deconstruct" the familiar tropes used by Star Wars to "challenge" the viewers.
Don't get me wrong, I hate that TFA was nothing but a cheap knock off of ANH. You just can't blame RJs failings on JJ.
Oh lord, based on comments in this thread and the reviews thus far... I'm going to be disappointed again, maybe even WORSE than TLJ?
Great. Fantastic.
Maybe time to retire my Rebel Legion membership and jedi costume.
