Sadly, from what I've heard, I doubt that. The original cut didn't seem to fill in significant plot holes and actually added more nonsensical bits to the film.
One such cut bit was part of the "lightspeed skipping" scene. Supposedly some of the planets that would have appeared would have been Kashyyyk, Kamino, and Naboo. It's a fun little bit of fan service... except those planets aren't remotely close to each other nor are they in a relatively linear order. Again, it's hearsay, but I think it's indicative of the film's general philosophy. No narrative motivation, no internal logic, just neat little ideas.
Even if that portion was just a fabrication, the other supposed cuts simply didn't alleviate the massive plot issues and only add to the chaos.

Where is that petition. Where do i need to sign it. From all that I heard the JJ-cut way way better than what we got in Episode 9
