All the new movies are not directed by George Lucas. When he sold Lucasfilm to Disney who has ruined everything in the Star Wars universe, Lucas lost all saying to anything with Star Wars.
The Force Awaken as you said is just horrible because Lucas didn't create it.
Agree, but "being created by Lucas" also does not guarantee a "great experience" in the first place (i.e. Prequel series) - I think George Lucas' attitude towards the legend he created can be a great Movie (of course, a very sad one) :))
