The writer of 8 was Rian Johnson. He threw away everything JJ blindly set up in 7, then JJ came back for 9 and tried to revert what 8 did. JJ has his own issues like you say, but the reason people hate 8 is Rian Johnson.

    JJ was the executive producer of 8 so I think we can probably blame both of them.

    They both walked back everything the previous movie did, I don't know why you're insisting that Abrams was involved in the writing for 8. Abrams' position as executive producer on 8 doesn't mean what you think it means, he only gets that credit because he did the movie before that as part of the franchise, it's not always an active role.
