I agree it's not a great film, and there are certainly some dumb scenes (casino sequence, Mary Poppins Leia, the slow motion space chase, Poe/Hux prank phone call). But for the most part I enjoyed it. I liked what they did with Luke's character arc, and the interactions between Rey and Kylo were quite good and well acted. The entire Yoda scene was wonderful, and the throne room battle was a lot of fun. The movie is also beautifully photographed.
As far as the acting is concerned, I thought Hamill stole the show. Fantastic performance IMO.

Your whole post is great - however I'm the opposite conclusion.
The dumb plot points you mentions wrecked all of the great things you listed.
Basically not rewatchable without skipping the opening, casino and slow speed space chase.
