Guess he refused to make a starkiller 2.0 and have the story center around taking out a deflector field protecting it, while Rey hangs out with snoke

I heard he locked himself in the studio bathroom until Disney agreed to let him have Chris Pratt with no shirt riding on the back of a T-Rex save Rey in the final battle.
This is one thing that really bothers me with the new star wars movies. It's like the script is written by a committee and the director is allowed to sway very little in that regard. To me it shows and the entire movie comes off as really dull, uninteresting and predictable.

I'd imagine the Star Wars plan is as difficult to disrupt as Lucas' described Episode 1 when thinking about editing the film.
With such a large universe and having a lot of pre-planning and many different now [i]canon[/i] branchoffs and tie-ins like comic books, novels, games, television etc. I think once they have something as big as Episode 9 already planned it's hard to stray from that and have to change a lot of the plan just because the director demands it.

It's the same reason Ant-man's director was canned, and Disney did that movie and it turned out fine as well.
"final installment", yeah right.
