exactly. i absolutely hate most of what’s in TFA from the moment the Falcon appears until the end, while i’m ok with TLJ. everything that i’m arguing has been about the ST in general, not just TLJ.
I actually like TLJ a bit more than TFA as well. Ren killing snoke and assuming power is unexpected and could be an interesting dynamic, and Rey being overpowered is acknowledged by both Luke and Snoke. The weakest points are all just a continuation of the events of TFA: Luke being a hermit, First Order having ridiculous weapons, cartoonish FO officers (seriously, I miss the OT officers who were just doing their jobs and weren’t such caricatures) and of course the rebels vs. empire rehash. It’s the background elements of the entire ST (as established in TFA) that I and I suspect many people don’t like at all. TLJ had some good stuff between Rey and Ren which was new and original.
