Really? What happened in TLJ that wasn't already done in Star Wars? It felt like they just threw ESB and RoTJ into a blender and threw it onto the screen. Except they removed the point of all the plotines they copied from the other movies.

I know there's a narrative about TLJ being interesting, but the biggest criticism from people that aren't terminally online is that it was boring. And yeah, it was just a bunch of stuff we saw before with the point of the plotlines removed.

I'll just reiterate my other reply since you did the same - your inability to see the potential of TLJ on it's own merits says more about you than the movie.

Subverting expectations isn't the same thing as good storytelling. Besides, Johnson decided to tell the end of a story in a middle chapter trilogy movie. That's just pure spiteful arrogance.
