On the contrary,
While it did well commercially it has caused mega problems for the brand. It is why Disney said they are going to take an extended break to figure out what to do with it.

Dropping it would have been a better way to show Luke was rejecting what was coming for him.

I'm saying, if RJ wanted Luke to reject his past, dropping the saber would have accomplished the same without

It's definitely a solid Star Wars movie. The connection to the greater plan is puzzling but as a standalone

On top of that they purposely mocked and flipped off lifetime Star Wars fans.

They chose to ignore Lucas in favor of fan service films.
