This new trilogy has completely sucked the life out of me as a Star Wars fan, so much so that I couldn't give a rat's ass about the final 7 episodes of Star Wars Rebels or any new Star Wars television properties.

I'd guess you're right as far as Disney's internal view of the performance.
And maybe this movie doesn't belong in a franchise. Franchises are HARD to keep going through time. And maybe this movie doesn't fit, I don't know. I just don't see how to do it differently and not have it be regurgitation of original trilogy stuff.
Now that JJ is on IX seemingly as a response to this film, I'm not amped about it.
Solo I always thought would be hard to get on screen right. Kenobi would be easier, but still harder. R1 was the easiest because all it was in the original series was a hard drive. Kenobi was a supporting character through 3/4 of a movie, Solo was a major character in all 3. That's tough.
