Count me in the group that liked this a lot. I think it's more re-watchable than TFA. I liked TFA for the sentimentality, but the story was too much of a re-tread, and didn't have a lot of personality. The humour really added to this movie and contributed to the personalities and characters and made the serious scenes more impactful.
I really don't see how a reveal that Rey is a son of Luke or sister of Ren would have been at all satisfying. I do think they will explain some kind of relationship or connection between Rey and Ren next movie though, as there's obviously something.
Overall, I liked that it felt fresh and it was a satisfying end to Luke Skywalker.
