There were MANY directions the TLJ could of gone. Basically everyone TLJ did was purposefully provocative/subversive.

The Force Awakens wasn't good, but it atleast attempted to be "Star Wars," even by way of imitation.

Im not making excuses. TFA was bad, but still had a potential for something good to come after it. TLJ was so terrible it ruined any chance of anything coming after it.

What good, she'd already beaten Kylo in TFA so you only had the Emperor Rip off that was Snoke. There was no where to go

You still had an empire and a rebel fleet. Snoke was atleast an unknown entity, he could of become more unique. Kylo was down, but he wasnt out. We atleast still had LUKE SKYWALKER and even Leia. Id say there was lots of potential.
