I wouldn’t necessarily disagree. There are so many things that bugged me about it, many of which were already present in TFA but others are specific to TLJ.
I am reminded of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus when I recall TLJ. So much mis-applied creative energy. Perhaps there would have been a better reception to the film if it was not a Star Wars movie but an original space opera story. Nevertheless I think this still wouldn’t fix things like the dumb casino scenes, Holdo’s actions not making sense, etc.
It was also the movie that showed me the political dimensions of scifi/fantasy fandom. Some people shit on that movie from the right, I shit on it from the left.
