They liked what he did with Star Trek. It pissed off the older fans but made a lot of money. He has the broadest appeal and is good at shoving references everywhere. He was perfect for Sci-Fi Action Franchise Reboot, Fiscal Year 2016.
What exactly are you trying to prove? That JJ is a hack and his cinematography is idiotic and self-referential? It's really telling how in two unrelated movies, he has to rely on the same exact shot to inflate the drama and tragedy of an event. He probably couldn't think of any other way.
What you should really be asking is who decided on Starkiller? I doubt it was JJ. He's just the executioner.

The first thing I thought when I saw her was that it was like her daddy ran the space station, and because she was his little princess she got to be a soldier (an officer, no less) and even got a super-duper special silver armour.
She did do something: She turned off the shield as soon as the heroes threaten her. She clearly care more about herself than about the cause they're fighting for as well as the lives of all her comrades. This probably means that she's prepared to send people to their deaths, but not to die herself. It's almost as if it's a warning against women in the military. Is Jew-Jew /ourguy/?
She'll probably get a main role with a backstory and without a helmet.
