I've thought about it. The guy who relaunched star wars successfully being brought in to safely land it after production woes on all the films apart from TLJ makes perfect sense. Also doesn't necessarily mean he'll play it safe on screen or in the script.
In fact I'd say JJ is the perfect guy to leave it with a door open ending for a follow up trilogy.
But with any luck it won't be a mad cliff hanger/ambiguous ending.
I totally called this back during TFA. I don't remember whether or not I posted about it. But I had many conversations with people about how I fully expected JJ to wrap this up. And here we are.
I think it's a great move. I'm all for it. I'm 100% on board.
Really my ONLY worry with JJ is that he gets too reactionary. He listens to fans. He's heard the criticisms about how TFA was just a reboot/remake of ANH. I don't want him to run too screaming from his strengths and make a gonzo movie that's gonzo for gonzo's sake. Especially since gonzo isn't really in his wheelhouse.

This is possibly the best case scenario we can hope for - otherwise this could turn out to be the most predictable boring close to this trilogy

Far more interesting to me is the hiring of Chris Terrio. That's really interesting. So, what happened to Jack Thorne? Seems odd to hire a guy on August 1st and fire him on September 12th. I know JJ said, after reading Rian's script for TLJ, that he wished he had signed on to direct it. I think JJ is going to expand and develop what Rian set up far more than he's going to "reboot" Return of the Jedi. I'm sure part of his deal to direct was to write as well. So Thorne is out and Terrio is in. And Terrio is probably going to be doing the heavy lifting on the script.

I dont like Terrio because Batman V Superman was awful. But i think you are absolutely right about JJ continuing the story that Rian has created. I think JJ is more than capable of delivering another great movie and witht he backbone of the previous 2, could be something great.

Yeah, but Terrio also wrote Argo. The guy's not a complete hack. And it seems to me that BvS, for those that didn't like it, came down to editing and Snyder's sensibilities.
