   I was really referring to the lack of scrolling text.  But Rogue One ran   
   rings around The Force Awakens.  Many fans decided that Lucas wasn't   
   worthy to advance the saga's story line, so this is what we have.   
   Better not to care any more.  I really would like to know what Lucas had   
   mapped out for the episodes 7-9.  That is what these creators have had   
   to start with.  It's just a reboot mentality, no class at all.   
   Spreading a story over 3 movies is too slow now, it's something else.
