It felt disjointed and not nearly as well-directed as IV-VII; it suffers from an almost manic schizophrenia, always jumping from set piece to set piece with plot points that are illogical and pointless. Mark Hamill was right about Luke and the ways in which Rian mishandled the character. When people say that it didn't feel like a Star Wars film, they are correct and justified in saying so: if a Saw movie came out and the main characters were Teletubbies who only live to fart in food carts, would it be reasonable to file that under "breaking new ground?" I don't think so. While everything doesn't have to be the same or recycled, there was a universe that spanned 40 years and 8 films. This one was very out of place, and they probably should have stuck with the EU or listened to Luke.
