It's not just that it invalidated the ending of RotJ plot-wise, it's that it didn't account for the emotions of the story at all.
As in ROTJ ends on a really high note, total victory and everything, and TFA picks up as if it's still in the middle of A New Hope tonally.
To say nothing of the fact that it was pretty much a soft reboot of A New Hope anyway.
Zero legwork is done to bring the audience from ROTJ to TFA's setting.
And then you have stuff like Leia ignoring Chewie like they don't even know each other, which is a bizarre mistake.
GQ is better than pretty much the entirety of Disney's Star Wars efforts just for having writers that actually care about and like their source material.
