Rian didn't nail the force, but he did fundamentally change it.

There was a dark side and a light side of the force, and the Dark Side users commanded the dark side at a cost of it dominating their destiny. The Jedi followed the force and acted as its servant serving the will of the force. But the Dark and the light were basically two separate things under George Lucas.

Even under JJ it was the same, Ren fell to the dark side of the force.

With Rian he has the force as this shade of gray is concert, the dark and the light, balanced. When the Dark Side Rises the Light side responds with equality.

In the end he's gone all shades of Gray, and the force is corrupted by the people using it.

Not once did Snoke talk about the power of the darkside of the force for example.

So Rian fundamentally shifted the force towards serving the balance. Life and Death, hot and cold but its the person that is corrupted by what the force offers.

Its funny because in the EU they had that discussion and it lead to the whole stupidity of the Gray Jedi concept. In the end though Luke basically said in the Legends EU that it was Bullspit.

Ren inherently isn't being influenced by the Dark Side of the Force. He is what he is, and the darkness comes from within him and he uses the Force itself as a tool to the ends.

Basically if you put it back to ROTS when Palpatine is talking to Anakin and says, to be a great leader you have to understand all sides of the Great Mystery, understand the power of the Darkside of the Force while understanding the lightside. But Palpatine knew that once Anakin used the easy gifts that the Dark Side offered, control, breaking your chains of slavery, power that he would be corrupted by the Dark Side.

Under this version of the Force that Rian is using. Vader wouldn't be corrupted by the force, but he would have been basically corrupt long before and his ability to bend and use the force would have been the tool to the end.

Disney has basically changed the equation of the bad guy from the Dark Side, to the personality flaws of the person aided by the force as a whole. But the force itself doesn't care, its a tool and not a living breathing thing that commands or has a will.
