Just bad.

Rating: 2/10 (16 December 2017)

It's not that it "took risks," it's not that it was "different," it's that the different risks it took resulted in a bad, non-sensical, low quality movie.
It feels to me like the whole movie was focus-grouped by people who didn't love Star Wars, brainstormed in a big committee, and then each scene was owned by a different 10 person committee, who then cut together their parts and combined the "good ideas" they voted on, filmed it, sent it to ILM and put as much lipstick on it as possible.
It's chaotic, all over the place, disconnected from everything that came before it, leaves you thinking, "huh" at the end, and wondering which part was important or meaningful at all.
There was one decent, wise part. I'll leave it to you to figure out which, because you'll probably see it anyway, as you should. It's just sad, because there was so much opportunity to do something fantastic and wonderful, and instead it went the opposite direction. Such is the paradox of power and popularity.
