Totally fine if you didn't like it -- no need to feel weird. My other son in San Diego also didn't like it.
<SPOILER ALERTS -- STOP HERE if you haven't seen the movie>
I can understand your complaints -- but here's my thoughts. I thought the jokes were a welcome addition. Go back and watch Empire Strikes Back and notice that it makes similar jokes. For example, any scene with Han and C3PO. The scenes with Chewie and the little penguin things were pure gold IMO.
And oh my God...the return of puppet Yoda! And in the same spirit as the character from Empire...That part alone sealed a "like" for me. I LOVED how he gave Luke a few verbal jabs and let out a few cackles. Have I mentioned how much I loved this one scene? :)
And I totally get how it feels a little empty how they resolved some of the story hooks from VII. I think they were trying to start fresh. Why have hooks like "I am your father!"...that would just be repeating the original trilogy. Get rid of Snoke -- won't Kylo Ren make a better bad guy that way? Very clever how they made the death similar to the one in VII. The "back-to-back" fight scene was awesome. Red Guard was awesome. Loved how Kylo was unable to pull the trigger in an earlier scene.
But yeah, there were flaws. The whole Laura Dern role/story was dumb. The "space walk" part was silly. The Rose sacrifice part seemed forced. (pun intended). Shirtless scene was funny, but probably should have been left out.
For me, it's simple...it was a pretty long movie. 2.5 hours. I was bored 0 times. I lost interest 0 times. I was engaged and enjoyed myself the whole time. Grade of "A" from me.
Oh...and my son paid! For those of you with younger kids, those are enjoyable times for sure. And the teen years are really tough! But man, wait until they get through that. They come out the other side as real people -- real fun and enjoyable people! Remember that Sean Connery line from the third Indiana Jones movie: "You left home right when you got interesting"? It's 100% true.
