They had it all setup and then fumbled it.

Well, no. JJ Abrams had some bullshit vaguely scribbled out in the margins - probably the Palpatine nonsense. The actual movie was promising.

Rian Johnson accepted everything the first movie did and gave different answers. The answers were fantastic! The movie was... okay.

JJ then went nuh uh! nuh uh! and crammed eighteen different half-baked ideas into a MacGuffin chase that made absolutely everything worse. The movie was so pretty, and the movie was so dumb.
