I know that Lucas said that they aren't using his treatments, but then Kennedy said that there were changes that are just like any typical changes or developments that occur in any production.
So I don't get what needs to be redeemed.

I expect that TFA copying ANH beat for beat, the "uninspired" locales, and other "pandering to the OT crowd" components will annoy many fans. The movie will overcome it if it has great characters, compelling drama and memorable set pieces.

Interesting comment here that Rey was written without any particular race in mind. Could be misdirection, but if true it calls into question her suspected connection to Luke or Leia.

The issue was ultimately, they looked at the stories and they said, ‘We want to make something for the fans.’ People don’t actually realize it’s actually a soap opera and it’s all about family problems – it’s not about spaceships. So they decided they didn’t want to use those stories, they decided they were going to do their own thing so I decided, ‘Fine. I’ll go my way and I let them go their way.’

He sounds a tad bitter, and based on his question to JJ about "what happens to Darth Vader's grandchildren" seems to indicate that the ST will at least partially depart from the structured Skywalker family drama the saga is about. Either that or he's being a baby because KK and JJ didn't like his scripts.
We will find out in 28 days.
CoGro wrote:GL's involvement could have just has easily hurt the ST as it could have helped it. Looking at the PT, I'd say it was probably about time for him to move on.
If you're KK and JJ Abrams, you just better deliver a great product. That's all there is to it. Otherwise GL is going to get a lot of air time talking about how badly you ruined Star Wars.
