Then this person has not seen very many movies.

I don't care too much for this superlative, unduly passionate style of pop culture critique even if it is a joke.
I enjoy reading negative critique of movies I like, as long as it shows understanding that reasonable people can disagree. This is not that.
The entire Jedi thread throughout all of Star Wars is like that. An over 20-year old essay by David Brin goes into this at length. https://www.davidbrin.com/nonfiction/starwars1.html
I didn't love the sequel trilogy--though it was better than the prequels. (Although truth be told, the Phantom Menace and Jar-jar in particular so poisoned the well for the prequels that I think otherwise #2 and #3 would have been looked on more favorably. See also Machete order.)
Also the prequel trilogy made a good case for the ineptitude of the Jedi order, they allow themselves to be manipulated into fighting a war orchestrated by a sith Lord and overlook several red flags coming from anakin.
It honestly felt like it was made by people who had a legitimate contempt for the franchise.
Also had several plot holes, poor fight choreography, and dumb dialogue. Plus the whole tone of it was off, like when the movie seemingly ends on a positive note after the entire resistance is wiped out.
That's just from the top of my head, but I do loath The Last Jedi.
The other half was Clones which arguably could have been treated as just as disposable as the droids and also been effective suicide pilots.
It's funny that the one single time on the entire series when things loose in deep space behave like if they weren't falling somewhere is the one people keep complaining about.
Anyway, the last 3 movies has a really great storyline that was completely destroyed by any other aspect you can pick. So the things people choose to complain are quite arbitrary. But this one is funny.
It was a weird fever dream of a movie even for a franchise that brought us a giant space slug gangster and a backwards talking green puppet
7-9 were better than 1-3, but last jedi was undoubtedly the worst of the new trilogy
It’s ok to hate it despise art and even pop art.
Ten minutes into that movie when Leia somehow comes back to in deep space I was ready to walk out of the theatre.
It’s not an ‘overreaction’ to see The Last Jedi as a fundamentally awful film, it’s just the knee-jerk reaction most people I know who have seen it have gotten.
Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not; ‘The Last Jedi’ is just a clear-as-day not-good film. But when you do actually take the time to analyze it and compare it to the original trilogy; it’s borderline unbelievable just how God-awful it really is.
I also never understood the idea that they hadn’t just kept the same director for the three films. 7/8/9 feels less like a trilogy than a disjointed mess of films imitating far better films.
