bingo
the OT overall IS crap, objectively, and nostalgia is part of why all the flaws don't bother people today. the score is easily the best part by far, plus they were a novelty at the time.
movie scores are underrated and are a huge part of many movies' success or failure, imo. Superman was a crap movie. total crap. but that score was awesome and fooled people into thinking they saw a good movie because of how the score manipulated their emotions. Rocky, mediocre movie elevated to Best Picture status due to the score.
back to Star Wars and why the prequels are despised and the OT is loved. the score. the prequels have a completely uninspirring unmemorable score. nothing to mask the crap. Last Jedi incorporates the original score woven into to its score enough to trigger that nostalgia in some, like Pavlov's dogs, and they don't understand why other people aren't drooling, too.

Because it has Star Wars in the title, plain and simple. Its a Global PowerHouse, and will therefore be over-scrutinized and analyzed no matter how good or bad it is.. And some will be over-protective and defend any movie no matter how good or bad it is.
And to some, like me, it will go from being an over-loved childhood memory to an over-meh adult memory.

Maybe it really is that simple. It's almost a surreal feeling to be on the outside looking in on this one, because it seems like the whole damn world is filled with Star Wars nerds.

So that potential for a developed path in the Force was done away with right at the end of their final scene together at least in this movie.
