Thought we had a post here for that, but guess not so here goes.

Did every see JJ will be back for number nine? My initial thoughts are lets just hope we don't get a new straight rehash of The Return of the Jedi, but then part of me wonders whats wrong with that as I like ROTJ.

I am disappointed. While I loved TFA on the first viewing, once I got past the new Star Wars movie feel it was completely underwhelming.

The good news is JJ is capable of creating new ideas but we have to see if he does them. His movies have a very consistent feel and I was hoping they would go a different direction with IX

This being the second director they have "agreed to part ways with" meaning fired for all of us regular people. Is Lucasfilm tying their hands so much they aren't allowed to add new things?
