it's craptacular

Let's not kid ourselves. The Last Jedi was made for a particular audience. It just wasn't for the right one. To say the filmmakers tried to carry out an artistic vision with little regard to what anyone else thought is complete bogus. It's obvious the filmmakers were catering to a specific audience. Which audience? A few theories exist. But one thing's for certain, it wasn't the audience that made the original Star Wars so popular in the first place.
Let's face it. If this film didn't have the Star Wars name behind it, it would've simply been looked at as a silly science fiction fantasy film for kids. For sure, The Last Jedi was visually stunning and had great special effects. But only kids could be satisfied by that alone and ignore this film's serious flaws in logic, continuity, and storytelling. The Last Jedi also had some of the best acting of all the Star Wars films. Sure it had some great acting, but so did Geostorm.
And, no, a second viewing didn't make it any better. That actually made it worse as it exposed more flaws.
In conclusion, if you're gonna pick an audience to make a Star Wars film for, why not pick the audience that made the originals so popular in the first place?
