Because he didn't care enough about Trek to put serious thought into it

Jew Wars actually had a decent script and wasn't complete overloaded with lens flares. It's also way more emotionally resonant without doing easy manipulative shit like killing the mother of one of the two main characters.

It was made as a film first, not an agenda.

It wasn't? I mean, the first one wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great, either. Just a fun space romp that gave a bit of a shot in the arm to a flagging franchise that they didn't capitalize on. The second was an absolute disaster and I honestly can't comprehend how critics gave it strong reviews, it was just a load of pretty nonsense thrown at the screen for two hours. TFA, on the other hand, was pretty much everything Star Wars needed to return to the big screen for a new generation, and was far more coherent and entertaining than anything George Lucas had put out since 1983.

lens flare

That's like comparing manure to horse shit.

This.

His take on Star Trek was able to stand by its own merits as a popcorn action film.

Star Wars however was just slavishly devoted to keep in the fans happy

OMFG you just saw reviews of the first Trek. Isn't it :D

I love this plebs wandering in thinking they can swing to hit.

Star Trek is one of the biggest and oldest sci-fi franchises.

Star Wars is like a mini series compared to it.

J.J took one of the most original franchise and turned it into cliché shit.

Yes.
