I, for one, am not saying that, but as a prequel fan all I can say is the complaints here are WAY mild compared to the last 18-plus years. I've said many times I have high hopes for TLJ. I also really liked R1. I even liked some of TFA, but, no, I'm not thrilled that JJ is back to make IX. JJ is an excellent craftsman and he's good at executing other people's ideas, but he's cowardly (there, I said it) when it comes to coming up with anything original. And the way he made and promoted TFA by so gleefully throwing Lucas under the bus when Lucas is the entire reason ANY of these folks are even making a paycheck off Star Wars gives me no sympathy toward him. That being said, I hope he makes a great film.
