SO many reasons....
I liken it to the Old Republic in that you have a baseline to work with but unlike the mess that IS the new trilogy( and probably every trilogy beyond and after ), there are literally no constraints or the laundry list of expectations that come with said trilogies.
These are meant to be fun movies that fill in unaccounted for time and that round out character development for already established characters. I'm not saying that quality control is not important, but these movies aren't getting hen-pecked to death by Disney focus groups either.
A condensed break down of the new trilogy goes something like this:
7: "HEY, IT'S STAR WARS! LOOK EVERYONE; IT'S STAR WARS! WE'RE GOING TO DO STAR WARS-Y THINGS BECAUSE ITS STAR WARS"!
8: Jesus tap-dancing Christ; someone reign this Abrams fool in and develop/do something that doesn't resemble a commercial for a box of "C-3P0's cereal" for ****s sake. Oops! Took it a little too far.
9: Welp, enjoy fixing this mess, dip shit!
No such quandary for the stand-alone films. You either hit or miss at the plate.
