Honestly, I think adults need the things that are "for kids" a lot more than kids do. Adults forget what it means to be a hero and how to be good human beings to one another. They forget those foundational lessons in morality you find in like Mister Roger's and Star Wars and they desperately need them. I'm sure a lot of people don't like modern Star Wars because they grew up to be the bad guys in the end.
Part of why I like The Last Jedi and The Force Awakens is that I felt they had a good lesson to teach, especially after TLJ evolved that lesson which JJ has always struggled to do in his films. He has moments but they often don't build to anything and I felt like TLJ did a great job building on what it needed to and (quite literally in some cases) tossing other moments off the cliff that weren't going anywhere. I felt it's ruminations on failure, how to learn, how to grow, and how to find your place were quite powerful and really obviously necessary for the fanbase who will probably realize that in at least a few years (or more...or never).

It shouldn't bother anyone if people are positive about something. It's the relentless negativity that brings everything down. Instead of talking about something you don't like, maybe make a thread about something you do?Yep, it's a good thing that the people who love TLJ don't constantly make threads on here about it to relitigate how it's the best movie in the series, etc.
