I think that sums it up. I do need to watch some more JJ films to be sure, but looking at his TED talk where he says "if you're copying other movies - don't worry about it just make it epic" pretty much tells me he's just a hack with no sense of storytelling. Lucas was a great storyteller. For all his downfalls as a director (and do note he's only directed a total of 7 films, 4 of them Star Wars films) he's a damn good storyteller. For most of his great stories - like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Empire Strikes Back - he employed somebody else to write the screenplay. Just like what he apparently gave Disney - he had the stories for episodes 7 through 9, and had a screenplay writer make screenplays for them when he sold Lucasfilm to Disney.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
