The Force Awakens was a dumpster fire. I sincerely did not enjoy it. Start to finish. There were a few 'moments' in it, but I struggled to finish it.

The Last Jedi I managed to sit through without thinking 'huh, I wonder what else I could be doing with my time'

Then again, I didn't like Batman v. Superman or Suicide Squad either, so I'm clearly not a judge of what makes a movie good or not.

The Force Awakens felt like a fan's attempt to make a Star Wars movie based around their own OC where their character just is AMAZING and everyone loves them and they are the best.

The Last Jedi took those characters and turned them into flawed individuals who weren't superheroes. They were kids playing with powers they didn't fully understand and making mistakes. The whole theme of the movie was learning from failures. I thought it got the point across well.
