He's not a film-maker but a director for hire who shapes what the studio wants.

Lucas sold out simple as that. He took his 1970's masterpiece Star Wars (not ANH as posters keep referring to), then spent decades fiddling with it whilst making a lot of money. Then sold out to Disney for a lot more money. They in turn will keep churning out films for fans and make a lot more...

I think it must be a generational thing. I enjoyed the original Star Wars, Superman, and Star Trek films but don't like any of the retreads. JJ is a director who does the studios bidding. Nothing original enough to frighten the box office.

I saw the original and it was ground-breaking. I have seen the trailers, read the reviews and Lucas's comments and I do find myself agreeing with him that it is a retread. I just can't find the enthusiasm to see it. It might just be me but I didn't like JJ's retread of Star Trek either.
