Of all the important issues there are that deserve petitions, people are worried about who directs the next crappy SW movie? yes, very much so in an effort to make it less crappy.

"Inverse reports that Matt Vela out of California started the new petition to remove Abrams from Episode IX. Many assume that The Last Jedi will be a rip-off of The Empire Strikes Back and now Star Wars fans are certain that J.J. Abrams is going to rehash Return of the Jedi for the third and final installment in the new trilogy. According to the new petition, "Star Wars fans deserve better. They demand better."
The petition goes on to highlight the fact that when the trilogy was announced, Lucasfilm and Disney also announced that a new director would helm each movie. The petition reads:
"At the start of the new sequel trilogy, beginning with The Force Awakens, Lucasfilm and Disney promised a new director for each movie to promote a fresh new vision on every installment. With the hiring of J.J. Abrams to direct the upcoming Episode IX, Lucasfilm and Disney have both reneged on this promise."
"Therefore, to prevent Star Wars Episode IX from becoming yet another rip off of the original trilogy (specifically, a rip off of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi), and for the good of the Star Wars brand, we demand that Kathleen Kennedy replace J.J. Abrams as director of the upcoming Episode 9 film."
Lol.

I have to laugh. Anyone who'd be a name on such a petition is likely to be a fan who is familiar with the petitions (since the late 90s?) to release the unaltered trilogy. Took about 20 years...hope these guys are in for the long haul.
Also, fans might be a little presumptive as to what Abrams will do. There are arguments that "TFA" (which I thought was ho-hum, preferred "Rogue One") was intentionally anchored a bit to Episode 4 in an attempt to develop a foundation closer to the original trilogy and do a little palette cleansing from the prequels and EU stuff. I don't know if that's true, but it makes sense on some levels.
Plus, Abrams is a pretty solid pick overall...it could be far worse. Imagine the fanfare at the end credits and seeing:
Directed by McG

Despite all the homages, TFA was not a clone of A New Hope. Also, everything indicates that The Last Jedi will be a far more unique film among SW. I'm sure the last film will be fine and won't feature any ewoks. 😉
