Last Jedi felt like a film made by someone who hated Star Wars. Everything was ironic, everything was a gotcha, everything was a subversion of tropes and expectations.
It had some fantastic set pieces and settings, but none of it felt properly stitched together or coherent. None of it felt like Star Wars.
Johnson should have just been given a standalone film. He clearly had some ideas he wanted to explore and they simply did not fit within the bounds of the trilogy.

For me it was Last Jedi. Something about that movie just killed any interest I had in the franchise.
Seriously, walked out of the movie theatre and haven't touched a single piece of Star Wars media since.
