In this day and age, everything that's really, really popular (and there's nothing more popular than SW tbh) tends to have a polarized reception. That's not surprising. TFA will have a better reception because they played safe. I find really funny than when they tried to do something different, everyone was like: "THIS IS NOT STAR WARS". And when TFA came: "THIS IS JUST A REHASHED EPISODE IV". What I mean is that it's impossible to please everyone. I loved the movie, and I can assure you I'm a huge SW fan. And I wanted exactly what they did. A shake up in the franchise model. Something different but great.

That's bollocks. To make a very quick example (looking at your avatar): Mario Odyssey was really positively received from both professional critics and general audiences alike. Especially from their own fans (Mario is the most popular video game franchise btw).

Yeah, I really didn't mean to generalize, but it sounded like I was doing that, so I apologize for that. I'd say that happens in a lot of cases, not every case possible. It's pretty hard to please your most hardcore fandom and the casual crow, so in some cases, specially when the franchise is widely popular, is pretty, pretty hard. I must say Nintendo did a ace work with SMO, but it seems it's not the case with The Last Jedi. But, well, I thought it was an A+ movie, so in the end I'd say that's what matters to me.
