I thought TLJ nailed the Lore but executed a poor movie.
Rey being told ambiguously she was from nothing
Snoke not being important
Luke being a bitter recluse
The entire Rey/Ren relationship
The dual view from Ren/Luke on the creation of Ren
The concept that their are no good guys in these wars
These things fit the characters and history so well.
The problem was the movie itself had some cringeworthy moments
- the humour in the start
- the whole concept of the car chase plot
- the whole casino planet
- Leia Mary poppins rather than dying
Take away Star Wars from the title and that is not a great movie which is a shame because of how well they executed Luke.

I agree with you Triple G. There were some underlying concepts that were really very smart as you listed. The execution and the stuff that they surrounded those things with were the problem.
I would add that the dark side cave made absolutely no sense and was done so we could have infinite Rey's snapping her finger.
