It depends what you mean by safe

If you mean by safe relative to the expectations set forth by the first movie it was incredibly safe

If you mean safe relative to the expectations set forth by the lore as a whole it was less safe cause they axed Luke and Rey was irrelevant to the grand scheme of things

But then you consider Obi Wan was axed in a similar fashion and it removes a lot of the daring from Luke's end. Also that Han died pretty unceremoniously in the VII.

I think either way it was a disappointment-- either you thought it was "too safe" or you thought the first half was incredibly boring-- the people I watched it with they didn't really comment a ton on the safety but they found the movie to be a snooze-- my first issue was that I was constantly finding the plot more potentially interesting than it turned out to be.
