There were parts of Last Jedi I liked, parts I did not like.

For example, I had no issue with Luke passing as it was going to happen at some point in the new trilogy  Even his best Obi-Wan hermitage impression was OK as it added emotional weight to Ben Solo's fall.  But, he needed to go out in a style that better reflected who he was and how his story was part of Star Wars lore.  Plus, we was supposed to be one of the greatest Jedi ever and he saw his in what, 2 lightsaber duels plus in 3 movies.  Rey, Obi-Wan, and Anakin had that many duels in the first half of each of their movies.

I get that Rian Johnson was trying to 'break the chains' with The Last Jedi; but, that was not the movie to experiment with in the Star Wars franchise.  His approach could have been successful outside of the main Star Wars story, similar to the success that Gareth Williams had with Rouge One or the team working in The Mandalorian now.  Of course, experimenting does not always work out, just ask Ron Howard about A Solo Story, though I am not sure if that was even experimenting.
