Rian Johnson says he scrapped 'Star Wars' trilogy was 'very conceptual' and 'never' had an 'outline or treatment or anything.'

Most of it is on Abrams’ shoulders, I agree. Johnson reportedly asked him if he was cool that his script was going to be a big departure, and Abrams gave him the green light.

Abrams famously cannot follow through with anything he sets up, so this isn’t a surprise to me, merely a disappoint that he was allowed to screw up the only sequel trilogy we’re ever going to get.
