Mocking fans?

Rating: 1/10 (25 December 2017)

Episode VII was far from masterpiece, but it was very intriguing: they raised several questions that generate hundreds of fan theories, some of which were pretty elegant. Who were Rey's parents? Why she is so strong in force? Who is Snoke? How Rey related to Luke if he's not her father? Is there something special about Anakin's lightsaber? There was a huge potential to make some very unusual interesting twisted plot from this.
But instead in VIII they especially pointed out that all these questions were fake, only to intrigue viewers to watch next movie, there was actually nothing to ask, bunch of misleading. It really looks like mocking: Luke throwing lightsaber away, Rey's parents are some random drunks. They killed Snoke but said nothing on who he was. Seriously? Are simplest explanations the best here? If they would steal few random fan theories, not even best ones, it would fit much better in the movie.
I guess their idea is that Rey is like Kylo's twin-antipode in force, their balancing each other in force (like dark cave balancing old jedi settlement), and only one of them can be on the same side of force at the same time, so if Kylo will switch to light side then Rey will switch to dark side, like yin and yang of force. Perhaps they will finish up with creating some new "neutral" order, instead jedi and sith, that will balance on the edge of force. I don't like it at all, it should be not possible.
It is primitive populism: they trying to make it like any random person (Rey) can be super strong in force and even can use it almost without any studying like a master jedi, who were studying in force all life from less than 5 years old. So viewers can better attribute their selves with Rey. And after Luke and Snoke are both died there is nobody to train her, Kylo is same noob acting like he is 12 years old. So they have no logical way to fix it, she'll probably train by herself using stolen jedi books. In my opinion it is very bad message, before these episodes the massage was that you need to study for decades to be strong force user.
What you should wait from a new star wars movie is great lightsaber fighting. We have some of it only in the episodes II and III. Here we have only two noobs Rey and Kylo who fighting like kids. And with Luke and Snoke both dead we have no logical reason to expect them to be better with lightsabers in IX.
They removed lots of scenes with Luke, even one of his lessons to Rey completely, but instead they have absolutely pointless (literally, nothing would change without it) plotline with Finn and Rose similar to that of C3PO & R2D2 in original episodes. So it looks like in attempt to make movie "less white" both non-white actors in this movie are playing pets.
Whole plot is too simple, like bad copy of V & VI, it is almost primitive. Perhaps an only really nice scene is killing Snoke, but it is so unfinished without explanation who he was and leaves IX without experienced force users.
Luke's personality is SO different from original episodes, almost opposite, even if to assume that it is possible after all bad that he was experienced - it is still rather disrespect to original movies.
There are also tons of other non logical issues, huge basis for criticism, so I could believe that some regular viewers can rate this movie 8+, but it is outside my imagination how it ends up with such high metascore.
Summarizing, episode VII was not super good for me, but it was promising something very interesting in VIII and IX. Episode VIII is turns out to be complete disappointment. At first I was thinking that there is something to hope that they will fix it in IX. But after thinking more and more on it - I've expect nothing good from IX, without Luke they have no way to fix it in logical way, so RIP SW.
