So after a day of thinking about this I think that outside of the Casino planet this was a really good movie. They absolutely nailed Rey, Kylo and Luke.
The fault of Snokes death not being meaningful is really on the Force Awakens as that is the movie where that needed to be established instead of playing "Lost" with the mystery. Imagine how much more powerful Luke's betrayal of Ren would have been if you had seen some of Snoke converting Ren and Luke trying to save him with the key scene missing. Have a little more Snoke early giving him an anchor in the universe.
So the Last Jedi with a better prequel would be better recieved today.
