The movie introduced nothing new. George Lucas(as much as he fucked up the prequels) knew this. He said the ultimate story of Star Wars was the tradegy of Darth Vader, which was completely resolved in part 6 when he redeemed himself. He regained his humanity only by the love of his son. It was a beautiful story and that's why it still resonates through multiple generations today and will continue to do so. VII just rehashes the A New Hope with elements of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi infused into it.

 

Thanks to Lucas it didn't introduce anything new. If he had not messed up the prequels that bad, they would not have been forced to re-establish the whole franchise with a soft reboot like that. It may even take another movie to gain the trust of the fanbase back before they really can do anything new.

This movie did exactly what it was set out to do. Repair the damage that Lucas himself did to the Franchise. If Lucas don't like it, he should not have sold it. 

Wow!  So you're actually blaming George Lucas for the shortcomings of a movie that he had absolutely nothing to do with?  What a bunch of mularkey.  Disney now owns Star Wars and can do whatever they want with it.  By your own admission they chose to do a soft reboot.  Not Lucas' choice, now is it? Honestly, all of the Lucas hate needs to end.  Without him there would be no Star Wars at all...  I will admit this though.  It is his fault that The Force Awakens exists.  He sold Star Wars to Disney which allowed them to make this garbage movie.
