For risks, they made the main antagonist more than just a soulless killing machine. That's the first time I can recall that being shown on screen. They also had a non-Jedi wield a lightsabre, and storm troopers actually had a brain and thought for themselves instead of mindlessly following orders and missing their target all the time. They also added a melee weapon that could counter a lightsabre that wasn't a lightsabre. What fourth wall breakers?

I enjoyed Kylo Ren.

Actually Han Solo did briefly use Luke's Lightsaber in the Empire Strikes back. Plus the weapons that Grievous's body guards used were not Lightsabers but could fight Lightsabers.And everything else your praising it for has been seen in many Star Wars books, comics and games.Oh and by fourth walk breakers I mean that every single character at least to some degree knows there in a movie. Nobody really behaves as one would if this was real life and it really takes me out of the film.
