I loved TLJ and love it more every time I watch it.

I understand why some didnt like it. I think it comes down to a few things:

  1. They didn’t like Luke’s storyline.

They just wanted to see Luke out and about taking out baddies Jedi master style.

I wanted that too, but I also can very much identify with the story we got.

  1. They don’t like misdirection in general.

They probably thought Poe was doing the right thing and were thrown off to see he wasnt.

  1. They just didn’t understand it.

Yes, it is entirely possible to fully understand TLJ and still not like it. But it doesn’t mean there isn’t a significant group that complain about the movie and make factually incorrect statements about characters and events.

  1. They just don’t like the style of the new movies.

I can relate. I didn’t like the style of the prequels.

I think over time appreciation of TLJ will grow. I have high hopes for Rian Johnson’s Trilogy. He is an excellent director and writer. I think people will be more accepting of his style when he isn’t using beloved characters previously established by someone else.
