Great movie if you are a new fan of Star Wars

Rating: 8/10 (30 December 2017)

Spoilers ahead..
I am of the generation that was a kid when Star Wars first came out. As such, this was the movie franchise that I have the strongest emotional ties to.
The new movies are entertaining. The last Jedi is a great movie. Problem is it is not what I wanted to see. It really broke my heart as, my hopes of getting the reunion and continuity with the characters I loved, are now gone.
Disney really don't care about the old fans. They just used our motivation to bring in the new crowd.
The new crowd just needs characters they can relate to. Mixed with Disney's "Everyone can change the world" message, there was no further need for them to "hang on to the past". So lets kill them all off now that they served their purpose.
What I found most annoying was the big buildups they made that ended up being nothing but a wet fart. Snoke, most powerful Sith we have ever seen on screen is so unimportant that he is discarded without any thoughts. Rey, who is she, a Kenodi, a Skywalker, Ben Solo's sister? What a big buildup to revel she is nobody.
They wanted to surprise people so much they made the equivalent of :"thank goodness it was only a dream" plot twist. Yeah sure, I was surprised... but at what cost?
All fans wanted to see was simple, predictable and a good overall story. Snoke is Darth Plagueis, Rey is a Kenobi, Luke trains a new force user and finds the most powerful balance in the force. (A balance between light and darkness) Big show down with the baddy. Convert Ben Solo back to the grey side. And restore peace to the galaxy. Heck, why not bring back Han Solo since people have survived being cut in half by a light saber before...
But I guess that story was too predictable to produce although it would have provided proper closure to the old fans.
Instead, Han is dead, Luke is dead (from an aneurysm or something), Carry Fisher has passed away so safe to say Lea is dead. There is basically nothing left for me to hang on to.
I will likely watch the next movies but my emotional attachment is gone. I don't really care what comes next or when.
They should have just called it a Star Wars Story and reserve the main cast for another movie instead of calling it Star Wars 7-8-9. Fans would have reacted a lot better.
Right, old fans aside, if you didn't have any emotional ties to the old characters, the movie was great. My wife, who was introduced to SW 2 years ago, loved it. She was on the edge of her seat the hole time.
P.S.
This is what everyone gets for taking a huge dump on Lucas. He would have done a better job for the old fans because he cared about the characters he created.
Pushing aside the Jar-Jar Binks and poor love scenes, I enjoyed the first trilogy as it was still in the spirit of what I had grown to love. (By the way, C3PO was also annoying in second trilogy only we were kids back then so it didn't affect us.)
