What confuses me about the Last Jedi is not so much the praise it gets from some people but the way they praise it.
They don't just like it, they portray it as some deep, profound movie which, in their own words, "was bold, original and allowed Star Wars to evolve"
How?

It's one thing to like, it's another to present it as the second Citizen Kane and make a bunch of claims about its quality that are quite blatantly false.
I mean, you are free to like it, but there was nothing bold or original about it.

The ending of the movie just rehashed the same status quo we have had since the OT:
"big powerful evil empire with stormtroopers,TIE's and Star destroyers led by bad guy with red sword fights good ragtag Rebellion with X-Wings and good guy with blue sword"
How is this "bold"?

I'm anot saying whether it is "good" or "bad", that is up to anyone whether they like it but it pretty much objectively isn't "bold" and it definitely isn't an "evolution" of the franchise.
If anything it just went backwards

All these just sound like empty corporate PR-speak, all talk and no substance. It is even weirder that they are parroted, not by marketing ads or whatever, but by fans.
Has anyone ever heard a satisfying explanation?
