Its shifted to Star Wars light.

When Lucas made the OT and the PT, he was pretty much independent, he could tell the story that he wanted, after ANH he identified his market of pretty much SW's fans, and he played to that. The growing nerd segment that wanted a lot of lore and a universe to play in.

Disney has never really wanted to market that way, they want their movies to appeal to the masses, they want more then Star Wars fans, and I bet somewhere they have a spreadsheet that compares the market of Star Wars fans, with the market of people that want a popcorny action flick, and they decided that they wanted to cater to the later one.

So that made them to decide to do what I think is a Star Wars lite reboot. they took the original trilogy story lines and used those as the bones of their new universe, but they made flater more 2 dimensional character that were easier to understand and easier for the casual fan to get behind of boo.

you couldn't really shock the world twice with a Vader, but they gave us a more understandible blacker character in Kylo Ren and to make sure that we understood that he was a villain he slaughtered a incredibly popular Lucas character.

He gave us Rey, but no real depth to it, in fact that went out of the way to remove the depth of her character in the last jedi. they had Poe a rebellious super pilot with maturity issues and Finn who really is frankly nothing but a cut out rogue hero.

I'm certainly not saying that I hate these movies, I like parts of them, but they're certainly not movies that get you interested in any kind of lore or exploration of the universe, and they don't have much in the way of rewatchibility.

They're a plug and play franchise now.
