This goes to show yet again, critics are not lore friendly and don't know anything about star wars. They are completely wrong about this movie, FX - 10/10, comedy - 8/10, story - 9/10, soundtrack - Off the charts/10. The references of past films bring in this sense of relevance for the OT, the prequels, and the TV shows. It ties things together, the force brought this movie together. It. Was. Phenomenal.
also Palpatine was really darn creepy so that's a plus
Let this be a lesson to every movie go-er; Do NOT base your watching off of critics. These people who rated this movie haven't the privilege to rate this movie, as they didn't accurately rate TLJ, as they rated this.
Watch the movie, Happy Holidays to JJ and the cast, and all of you all reading, may the force be with you
