For me it's not so much about the storyline but more about how Johnson was trying to open doorways for the future. The Skywalker story was over, move on. Kylo literally says it in the film. Forget the past, kill it if you have to. The little stable worker slave kid in the film who has nothing to do with anyone showing he's force sensitive and Kylo telling Rey that her parents were nobodies meant more than anyone seemed to get and it annoyed me. Yeah, alot of it was just a waste of time but it could've and should've been the beginning of a whole new thing.
