I've heard others' criticisms regarding this and I respect them. But I don't agree. This movie fits completely with the rest of the Saga, I think. And having rewatched TFA last week, I was stunned just how much of TLJ is really set up. I don't agree with the idea that Rian just said "**** you JJ and **** you fans" and totally changed course. It's all there as far as I can see.
But I totally understand those that did not identify or enjoy the new direction or relate to the themes in TLJ. It happened to work for me.
