I don't recall Johnson himself making any such fuss. He was just having fun and being a fanboy. Now fans I can definitely see making a big thing about the 'originality' - and it's true it did diverge from a lot of the stale expectations people have of what the ST would be. But it's wasn't exactly marketed that way.

I don't know where it was but I watched an interview where he was pretty annoyingly smug about things. He definitely had a lot of fun just making "his" Star Wars fanboy vision without even trying to properly connect it to the first movie. And like TFA or not, at least some logical continuity would have been nice.

I devoured all the pre-TLJ information I could, and I found him to be pretty humble about the whole thing. He was definitely excited to be a director/writer for StarWars, but he wasn’t arrogant or gleefully lord in it over fans or anything.
