I suppose the most disappointing thing about it is that I’m still not convinced this story needed to be told.

I feel like you could say the same thing about Empire Strikes Back too. In my opinion, the only time that a story being unnecessary is frustrating is if it isn’t compelling or isn’t handled well, like the prequels. A lot of people said that the prequels didn’t work primarily because the story didn’t need to be told, but any story can be interesting so I don’t really think that it should affect someone’s opinion too much.
