One must know the path one runs even if the ground underfoot is not as one chooses
So, read a few summaries of TLJ and not even sure if it's all true or not, but:

No, seriously, keep your spoilers out of the Activity Stream until, like, Boxing Day or something. People are going to be seeing this over Christmas.

It was really bad
I think the thematic feeling to it is good and even probably in the same arena as to what George might've done, but scrambling the plot and character archetypes in a way he would not, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but also sort of makes it feel very different in a way I can't easily describe.
Definitely see why Hamill was initially against where this went, though. Like, in fact, I thought that the OT characters were railroaded onto dour paths for the sake of the plot they came up with for these movies rather than a natural evolution that made sense for them. In a lot of ways, they're actually strangely worse in that way than the prequels; the prequels have the end already mapped out, yes, so they're both predictable in the way they go and a sense of danger is removed, but at the same time you're there to explore how the end came to be rather than being surprised by the end. This feels like, okay, so, RotJ has a natural conclusion to these characters and their arcs, but now that we have to functionally say that those conclusions were just a middle rather than an end, we're going to tack things on. And since the drama comes from an unknown end again rather than exploring the path that got to the end...time to spruce things up!
Or something. idk, it was enjoyable and funny and the visuals were great but the concerns I had at the end of TFA and the leeway I was giving the plot over potentially OOC Luke is used up and now I just feel disappointed it was what I was hoping it would not be.

gotta sell that merch
Maybe I'm the only here that liked this movie, like, really-really like it. Especially the twist thatSpoiler:
I really dislike Kylo Ren before, but now he kinda redeemed on me. Though, I still find the new heroes are super boring. That new guy tho, he is my new favorite.
On the movie as a whole, not just characterization, this reminds me of Apoc ep 22. You got an episode that full of action sequences back to back with little break, but they somehow doesn't make the movie tiring.

It was a long ass movie
felt very meta
but uh, not sure what to think about this movie
^ If I'm not mistaken, I believe it is now the longest SW movie to date.
Beating out the previous title holder "Attack of the Clones" by about ten minutes.

don't quote me on this
I unfortunately got sick halfway through the movie and had to miss out on the second half. To be honest, I don't really feel like going out of my way to see it again, at least in theaters. It felt sluggish and messy.
Despite my negative impression of the movie itself, Mark Hamill was a lot better then I expected him to be in his return to Star Wars.
Having just seen it...same.
I enjoyed Last Jedi more than The Force Awakens, as the things that annoyed me with Last Jedi are largely the fault of The Force Awakens having set those things up. The casino bit being too long is my biggest gripe unique to this movie, though what Leia does at one point was kind of out there.
I just got back from an afternoon showing and I liked it but it also kind of felt like a Star Wars movie about how to approach making new Star Wars movies. Like, the main question was whether you can move past relying on nostalgia without also losing what made so many people love the movies in the first place, right?
