The other points you make about the story are spot on as well. As someone who absolutely hated the prequels, at least they attempted to tell a fleshed out story with some level of character development and realized arcs. The execution was terrible, but as far as having a story to work with, they are actually in better shape than the latest film. I thought even though it was a rehash, The Force Awakens gave the series something to work with. The latest movie just ignored trashed all of that. At this point, can anyone actually tell me a compelling point to releasing a third upcoming movie? What motivation do any of the characters even have to continue their quests?

Its this point exactly. The First Order is incompetent, Kylo Ren is a whiny brat and Rey is perfect. The resistance has their spark and is rebuilding. Luke has moved on.
Seems like we are done here.
