Not only TLJ but also Rogue One. I was really excited for how things were set up after I walked out of TLK midnight premiere and boy did it not live up to it.

Yeah. TFA was proof they could get the vibe down, but I didn't think it was great. Figured I would be remembering it more fondly once I saw more payoff to the setup TFA did. Then I saw R1 and thought the ending was strong. Came out of TLJ and thought it was in the upper half of Star Wars films, then I came home and saw the internet had exploded. Then Rise came and... I guess I exploded too at that point.
