Well... I agree and disagree.
I agree that Luke should have had a more epic end (Take the last scene and have him actually be there so we can get one more Skywalker lightsaber duel).
I also agree that epiodes 1-9 is the Skywalker Family Drama. Ben Solo is a Skywalker so even without the trio it's still the Skywalker drama. 10-12 will be the new drama.
I disagree that Luke should have died in episode 9, that would have been fine but it was also fine for him to die in 8. He'll be back (as a force ghost) in episode 9 (I assume) and clearly they intended for Leia to die in the finale (and she still might depending on whether they have any footage on the cutting room floor that they can use to explain her absence) but the tragedy of Carrie Fisher's death will change that. If I could for a moment heap some praise on her. She was clearly the original cast member most invested in 7-9 good performances from her (and how fortunate that she got to perform alongside her daughter).
