It was doomed to fail, and a lot of that is the fault of the decision made in TLJ.



I'd love to her a conversation of what Rian had envisioned was going to happen in the last installment, because he really didn't leave much to work with, and had rearranged the relationships built in TFA. So it's not so much that TLJ was full of bad ideas in isolation(thoguh there were many), but it destroyed any semblance of a rational logical story. You can't just kill of the bad guy in the second act, and expect it to make sense in the 3rd. TFA may have been fan service, but at least it left pieces to build on.
