I understand why they made some of the decision s and the messages they were sending. I just didn't like where the series is going. I could elaborate but no spoilers.
The story held zero tension. There was no sense of menace. I don't feel there is a cohesive plan in place for the overall story arc. Disney just wants to push out a movie a year till it's no longer profitable.

I definitely agree about there being no cohesive plan being in place.

I ended up seeing it a second time and liking it even less, I think my rating now would be a 6.

Mark Hamill stated in an interview that he fundamentally disagreed with Rian Johnson about every decision he made about Luke. We shouldn't be surprised :/

And I mean coming from Rian Johnson, it makes sense that someone with his track record would treat Star Wars like this.

Fantastic film, one of the better installments. Built on the themes presented in both the PT and PT very nicely, subverted a lot of expectations and had an emotional intensity I haven't experienced in Star Wars before except at points during Empire Strikes Back and Revenge of the Sith. Very impressed with how multi-layered it was, too, and how it deliberately played with peoples expectations and idealised views of the heroes.

Why am I not surprised you love the movie....

I guess they're going to resolve the Rey/Kylo conflict but with the OT characters pretty much phased out and the First Order basically a one man show now there doesn't appear to be much going on for a final movie.
Also not looking forward to the Solo movie.

I agree, it does feel very anti-climactic. When Snoke was done away with I thought it was cool, but in the back of my mind I thought "what are they going to do with episode IX now..."
