I don’t care if anyone likes a given film or not. That is a personal opinion that everyone has a right to. But some people give such odd reasons behind their hates and dislikes. Some give reasons that are so easy to dismantle. Such as taking Kylo’s “let the past die” and Luke’s “the Jedi must end” lines at face value without examining how the movie plays out and changes Luke’s opinion to “I will not be the Last Jedi”. Frankly, what a Sith/dark side user says in a Star Wars film is pretty certain to be the opposite of the real message and Luke was in a bad place when he said that. He had some reason and I think the lineage of the Old Republic Jedi needed to end, but Rey takes the texts and can restart the Jedi as they were originally, before the Sith rose (that is an EU bit that has not officially gotten back into the story but…). Yoda adds to it when he says something to the effect that students grow beyond their masters. So taking anything that Kylo or curmudgeon Luke says as the message of the film is just wrong. If you base hating the film on that then you have based it on a false fact.
