The Last Jedi is a decent attempt at progressing the story and characters we were introduced to in The Force Awakens. By no means does The Last Jedi attempt to deal with any complex themes or issues. This makes watching The Last Jedi a somewhat relaxing experience: at no point are you required to think too deeply about a characters decision or actions are as they seem to fit with the pace of the film.
The comedic element seen in dialog and actions is heavily geared towards lightening the mood for a younger audience and sometimes feels out of place or hammy in a scene. Even the development in characters (building on people we met in The Force Awakens) seem odd at times: it's almost like we're being introduced to brand new people for which the events of The Force Awakens had no lasting effects.
Now one of the biggest issues I had with the film were some logic fallacies in the story telling. In one scene: a door on a ship is opened to space but this does not immediately depressurize the hallway of that ship and in another scene: a ship unable to jump to light speed (having also had all of their light spacecraft destroyed) miraculously has a light spaceship that is capable of light speed that somehow wasn't destroyed with the rest. Instead of doing the logical thing with this spacecraft and evacuating people the light spaceship is used in a precarious mission (with a setup that was lazy storytelling). Small issues like these crop up in the film and detract a little from the enjoyment of the story progression.
Overall I would say this film is easy to watch and geared towards a younger audience. Wait for it to come out on DVD.
