Just a better job of pacing and setting the tone. The JJ movies were a little too fast paced for Star Wars movies, and the RJ movie was a little too slow (although the OT was pretty slow too). This series really seems to have nailed the "pace" of Star Wars for a modern audience.
Having a TV budget vs a Movie budget likely helps here too, as the toned down sets, CGI, and backgrounds seems to feel more like Star Wars too.

The JJ movies were too fast-paced for any human who wasnt tripping balls on speed.
And one of the problems with that is the sacrifice of the story-telling.
"Why did this happen? What is going on? Who are these people?"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! MUST. KEEP. MOVING!!!!"
We just watched a bunch of dudes slowly meandering through a Desert. We dont all need a million shiny explosions and lens-flares happening all at once to keep our attention.
Tell us something worth hearing.
