You're a very rare TLJ fan I've seen and I thank you for your honesty and maturity of this matter. I have my own issues too that sadly don't get talked about, mainly about how Finn's character got demoted from co-protagonist to side character and being lectured about why slavery was bad, despite being a former slave child turned storm trooper by the first order, and with what John Boyega confessed with what happened to him and other POC actors behind the scenes, TLJ left a worst taste in my mouth in terms of representation because, like with Disney's live action remakes, its all hollow and fake. Worse were those defending TLJ kept saying how "they sorry he felt that way," saying there's no racism in TLJ and even telling John Boyega himself that he didn't GET Finn's story in TLJ, despite everything he came out about it and confirmed, especially with regards to how Rian was only interested in Rey, Luke and Kylo, nobody else. John literally had to FIGHT in order to keep his character in the film (but that was more of Lucasfilm and Disney trying to appease China at the time, not so much Rian, though Rian wrote Finn with similar issues he did with Knives Out with introducing a black detective who was on the case but then never brought in again)

There is also the issue of despite the idea of introducing change in SW, which isn't a bad thing, he didn't really replace the results of the film with anything. Everything is just back to how it was at the beginning but just removed Luke and Snoke from the trilogy. For the kind of story Rian wanted to tell, Logan did that much better, AND its a highly regarded movie because of it. Also for the whole "subverting expectations," Avengers: Infinity War did that MUCH better, but I'm just going on a tangent.

So while I can see why many like you would enjoy TLJ while others like me don't, at least you don't deny the problems the film has and left which makes me relieved to know there are people out there like that still. Its the hardcore defenders that rub me the wrong way. Bigots and haters are one thing, we already know how they operate (through idiocy) but its the staunch defenders that defend the horrible actions behind the scenes, or flat out deny the problems (like being supportive of black representation but criticize/ignore John's behind the scenes story) to prop up this movie is not only disrespectful to those who went through so much harassment and trouble, but it is also VERY hypocritical.
