Some shit definitely went down with Rise because they threw out Trevorrow and Connolly's script completely but they're still credited on the story. And they started shooting under a year after Abrams was hired. With apparently lots of rewrites during shooting. God knows what was mandated for it from Disney and Lucasfilm.
And to be fair in another way, I'm not sure Rise has a story that can work. That would be on Abrams, Terrio wouldn't be able to solve that no matter how good he is. Especially since JJ was directing, producing, editing, etc.
Who knows, maybe the script is better. That's not too unusual. The Trevorrow script is probably better than what would have come out of it.
