jkno:
 I found the following things hilariously sad, some were indeed visually stunning, but in the end they were very unimaginative and illogical, even in the Star Wars space opera universe:

- raising Star Destroyers from ground and putting them on display like Hotwheels toys, where were these ships all these years?
- continuous hyperjumping - yeah, that is not how it worked in SW, but now we can get anything
- Palpatine returned - no more interesting villains, needed to dig up that old fossil to save the face? So now he is really really really dead? Or we'll get the next Sequel of Sequel with Palpatine's resurrected ghost or something? Though McDiarmid again did a good job portraying the sinister Emperor
- ships that stay for years in the desert, underground and under water start working at first glance.
- the Final Order? Really? Nazi final solution inspired?
- Kylo's glued up helmet - I guess the new empire is too poor to make a new one after having the 3rd Death Star got destroyed. But they do have a nice red superglue
- healing powers, heck, why not. In Jedi Knight game we had this already...
- Han Solo scene, it was supposed to be a tear jerker, it only reminded me of the bad decisions that started with TFA, and with the death of Han
- Luke scene, they tried to fix his stupid actions in TLJ, but not to much good alas. Luke deserved much better than all this. But I did like Leia's saber and at least Luke was able to raise his X-Wing unlike Dagobah ;)
- Spacehorses on a Star Destroyer, should I laugh? Should I find it creative?
- Chewie got a medal, yeeeeey!!
- and of course we all know that Rey is the ultimate power in the galaxy, Anakin's Chosen One arc has no value anymore, and this could be a full review on its own, but not today...

Though I did like Lando (one of the few highlights of TROS), the John Willams cameo in the cantina, C-3PO's scenes before the memory wipe and the special effects. The story was weak alas. Was TROS better than TLJ? Definitely, but almost anything is better than TLJ. Was TROS a good movie? Well, not really, it was mediocre at best. Good special effects, but poor story, and some can be blamed on the ties that had to be made to fix the TLJ mess. A more detailed review in the future if I get the time and patience to write one.

(SID):
Sorry to double post this link BUT this rumor is high enough "priority" since it will also set a brand new line of precedents for SW.

Tamer:
Man, I kept wanting to see Boba Fett.

Lets hope we get to see it all! Off to share.
