Okay, so like I said in a similiar review from Rise of Skywalker, I'm not an avid fan. I grew up with the sequel trilogy (sadly, lol). I just finished all the Star Wars movies and completed the Clone Wars tv show and half way through Rebels (not as good as clone wars btw). I'd like to think I have a basic understanding of what makes Star Wars so special and incredible. This is an unpopular opinion, bur from a technical standpoint, TLJ is a good movie. It has great effects, great musical score, decent acting (good enough to make an average movie; I swear no hate tho), okay writing, decent pacing, etc. It's a pretty okay execution, hence the positive reviews from critics. However, it is a TERRIBLE Star Wars movie. The whole trilogy is just a copy of the original. I mean, the First Order is the empire, Snoke is basically Palpatine (but just a completely underdeveloped character compared to him), Ben is Anakin, Rey is Luke, the Resistance is the Rebellion, another death star, Hux is Tarkin (if tarkin was a naive, annoying brat; don't wanna curse rn lol so I used "brat" :/), etc. It's just a direct remake. Also, it's like they're trying to copy Marvel with the humor and everything because they know they are doing a bad job. TFA was decent, but TLJ really just destroyed the work Abrams did, and then...well, Abrams had to fix up the mess, but really just ended up doing nothing with TROS. I really want Lucas to come back and rewrite the trilogy (he can do the story, but definitely not the dialogue...no offense lol). But, who knows (sry if dis review is all over the place, I don't express my thoughts well xd). Since we're all in quarantine, better to start trying to patch up the franchise now before it's too late. For now though, I guess we can just consider Legends (haven't explored legends yet, but want to after a finish with all the official canon stuff) canon and make our own sequel trilogies in our head lol.
