idk guys, i have some hope in episode 8 since it's being handled by a competent director, rian johnson, who is also writing it.
the dude directed looper, which was not necessarily an original sci-fi flick, but for the modern audiences it was well-received, and he also directed the best episode of breaking bad.
he will be writing episode 9 as well, though colin trevorrow is directing that and as long as he doesn't decide to fuck with the script i'm sure it will be better than tfa.
