I’ve seen TLJ three times and I really haven’t been able to parse complaints about narrative outside of pacing, related to length. It is really interesting to me how many different takes folks have gotten.
Think of it as a series of setups (large and small) without payoffs and the criticism begins to make sense
Except it all pays off. What setups have no payoff? I'm not trying to be hostile, but I must have just received the movie very differently than you.
Rey needs training. No, she doesn't. Luke is here, No, he isn't. Snopes is super powerful. No, he isn't. We need to go to the gambling planet. No, we don't. Self-sacrifice is heroic. No, it isn't. Leia just died. No, she didn't. Yoda is here to uphold tradition. No, he isn't. Kylo is turning. No, he isn't. Guys are dumb jocks. Um, yeah, can't argue with you there.
