If it ain't broke....
Lucas went so far off the storyline in I - III, he damn near single handily destroyed the entire franchise. Those movies sucked donkey balls. Of course Lucas didn't like VII, it's probably because he was forced out, had nothing really to do with it, and was better as a single movie than the collective prequels he shat out. Of course there are similarities, that's what makes movie franchises great. Look at any epic franchise, and they're all following pretty much the exact same sequence.
J.J. simply stayed on course and released a brilliant movie. Of course people are going to hate on it, that's just their Modus Operandi. They'll never be pleased.
