Yes it does. December can't come soon enough.
The Last Jedi...hmmm, is Luke gonna kick the bucket in this film?

Exactly, Luke. So stop thinking. Stop expecting. Grab some popcorn and try to enjoy.

I know my opinion is driven by my expectations. When I go to a Star Wars movie, I'm not looking for dialogue that would earn a Best Screenplay Oscar. I'm not looking depth of characters what would earn a Best Actor/Actress Oscar. Hell, other than the "Luke, I am your father" moment, I'm not looking for the one end-all, be-all trilogy changing revelation. I'm looking for a Jedi Knights, lightsaber battles, the Millennium Falcon getting damaged, spaceship battles, the use of the Force, exciting entertainment, actiony, popcorn movie.
I was let down by the battles. I was let down by the lightsaber fight. I was let down by Finn's regression as a person in the beginning of the movie. I was disappointed in Poe's turn into a dumb-jock-pilot.

Regarding Battlefront 2......(Campaign Spoilers)
That was an odd possibility of Iden and Del being Rey's parents, but the Resurrection DLC finishes out Iden's story as you play alongside her daughter Zay, who is very much NOT Rey.

looks like at least some of the people bitching and whining about the movie are the same people who complained about a "black stormtrooper" in TFA, about having a female character as the lead, about having female ghostbusters, about having a black female star trek lead, and basically anything they perceive as overly PC or progressive in the entertainment industry. i don't think it's too hard to figure out who these people are... the same dumbass redditors and youtube commenters and other horrible people who hide behind their anonymous online identities to spread their diseased neanderthal souls across the internet. obviously not everyone who dislikes this movie belongs to that group, just like not everyone who hated the new ghostbusters (see: me) was a racist, sexist troll. but anyone who uses the term SJW in a movie review or, basically, anywhere, is an asshole. and as far as those people go i stand by my original statement: they should be fucked up the ass with a lightsaber dildo.
it's not hard to see why those kinds of people would dislike this film. whatever political leanings were evident in TFA and rogue one are even more obvious here. and the First Order is basically the alt-right in outer space. so a film with pro-immigrant, pro-diversity, anti-war and anti-profiteering undercurrents (even going so far as to introduce a bunch of cute penguin-aliens to turn chewie into a vegetarian), it's no surprise it doesn't sit well with them. well, let me scan my terminator display for a proper response... oh, there it is: fuck you, asshole! maybe SW wasn't always as blatant in it's progressive leanings as ST (or almost all sci-fi, for that matter) but even the OT had plenty of forward-thinking elements. it was always about the little guy beating back against the big oppressive forces of evil (even when it had to resort to crap like ewoks to drive the point home). princess leia was the progenitor for other strong female characters in sci-fi(ish) films like ripley and sarah conner and... well, there aren't a whole lot of others but that's changing now, and all these guys who apparently derive their masculinity from seeing white male characters dominate geek films are just gonna have to deal with that. or complain about it on twitter and facebook, whatever. if you don't like it, how about you start your own white male self-masturbatory sci-fi franchise to soothe your fragile ego? or better yet, just make another version of The Fountainhead for all the rest of us to ignore.
