Was my memory wiped or was the Star Wars sequel trilogy just that forgettable? (www.theguardian.com)

The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

just because JJ is unoriginal doesn't mean anything HAS to follow from that in the future,

Of course it doesn't. You also don't have to make a good film or try to contribute to a cohesive trilogy, you can just "subvert expectations" and apparently some people will worship you for it.
