Now we are answering the question: what if Vader had overthrown the Emperor?
After IX I'm pretty sure we are going to be answering the question: what if Vader wasn't the bad guy?

Fine. That is a salient point.
But the Last Jedi didn't give us a better story. All that movie had were lame twists for the sake of twists. It is a film that a pretentious film major would shoot. Oh look, I am defying convention. Too bad, it ruined the story and characters. All the villains are either dead or buffoons. Ren is a mess. Rey isn't much better. Finn's arc is on repeat. Poe is disgraced. Rose is a joke. The Resistance is down to one ship.
There is nothing there to get excited about.
