@gameragodzilla I didn't dislike The Force Awakens. It didn't have an original bone in its body, and the setup to it is stupid (so... The Rebels won in RotJ, but nothing changed?!?) but it was proof to me that at least some people at Disney knew why Star Wars became popular in the first place. Rogue One I was meh on, it came close to being good, but it's like the execs didn't have faith that the movie could stand on its own and shoehorned in as much fan service as they could, taking away from the serious story they were trying to tell.
The Last Jedi took some risks, I'll give them that. But so many scenes go directly against what Star Wars is. It tried too hard to insert dramatic and emotional scenes, that it forgot that to suspend disbelief, the world they build still needs to make SOME sense.
Characters being blatantly stupid. If you've seen it I'm sure you'll understand precisely what scene I'm talking about, but there's one in particular where something happens that had me scream (in my head, of course) "WAIT, WHY DON'T THEY DO THIS ALL THE TIME?!?"
