To help contribute, here's the only meme I've ever done, which I did in response to news that Abrams was working on a new ST movie. And after seeing how well the franchise is going with SNW and LD, I feel it's even more appropriate.

What's annoying is that he's good at pacing and creating intrigue. He just never knows how stick the landing without turning the plot into swiss cheese.

Creating intrigue is relatively straightforward if you don’t worry about sticking the landing.

Yup. Have weird shit happen, don't bothering explaining why.

Basically, writing movies like running a 100% improvised DnD campaign. Which is to say it's great, as long as your audience signed up for repeated intellectual kicks to the groin.

Is he good at pacing? His movies are just go go go go without any room to breathe.

After seeing the rise of skywalker, I don't think I agree on the pacing bit.
