Wow, this is fire.

Please do god’s work and get them on Usenet.

Great definition of abstraction! And thanks for the link.

They did have it. Michael Arndt, who I know from personal experience is a Star Wars savant at like a scientific level, had his script and outlines scrapped. JJ and Kennedy redid the whole thing after Disney got cold feet. So TFA script itself was a rush rewrite after Arndt had been writing for 1-2 years.

EDIT: best I could find for any public document of this which is a summary of the art book - https://www.scribd.com/document/312786415/Star-Wars-Episode-VII-The-Force-Awakens-Early-Script-Details

I really could not get into SNW. The almost Marvel-satire-level of constant asides and quips takes me out of it. It wants to be a gorgeous, serious show, a wannabe campy homage, and a modern Marvel action-funny, and eat its cake, too.

Contrast to DS9/TNG, where the show is campy but not self-aware, SNW oscillates between winking at the audience and tearjerker storyline in too small of an interval, consistently.
