Come on, Rian Johnson barely subverted expectations.<br>Episode 7 showed the Jedi temple destroyed and Luke on exile, Leia as having abandoned the New Republic, Han going back to his smuggler ways, and the empire fully rebuilt.<br><br>The only thing he did that I didn't expect on some level, was the pointless journey to the gambling planet, which was at least visually interesting, unlike 90% of episode 7.<br>Sure, ep7 had better story and execution, but it visually didn't feel like StarWars.
