I never thought hard enough about it realise that ROTJ does become a false ending because there is no balance.

I mean, isn't this sort of an inherent problem in the mere existence of any sequel trilogy? IMO this would be the case just as much for George's sequel trilogy as JJ's.

And not to be all red-rag-to-a-bull here, but I think this is something that you have to give RJ credit for, because he was at least aware of this problem and tried to solve it. Obviously many people disliked his story but I think a lot of the choices he made were very much pointed at trying to solve this specific problem. Whereas JJ - arguably for better, and arguably for worse - really did not grapple with the thematic coherence of the sequel trilogy and how it related to the original series in any real way.

If someone had got RJ to tamp down the cynicism and hopelessness a touch, or at least let the heroes accomplish something meaningful or grow as people, then maybe? As is, though, TLJ's the least thematically coherent entry in the entire franchise.
