The only super poor scene is the Finn and Rose part

I'd agree with this, in the sense that literally every part that has Finn and Rose in it is super poor.

Except then I'd also have to throw in most of the Poe scenes, the Leia scenes, the Holdo scenes, and probably a few more I'm not remembering. I'd also throw in literally everything related to Benicio del Toro, but I don't think he ever has a moment outside of Finn/Rose scenes, so that's already implied.

There ARE interesting moments and elements in the Luke/Rey/Kylo/Snoke parts, and I'm not throwing tantrums over Luke being bitter and old (if anything, I kind of like that concept more than I ever would have him just being Obi-Wan v2.0), but even those aren't handled quite as well as they could have been (mainly because those scenes always feel a bit rushed, to make room for all the other hot garbage).

In a more meta sense, it's also flawed in the fact that they've openly admitted they're just making all of this shit up as they go along, so there's no real plan in mind for future story beats. Which is why some of the plot feels so disjointed and awkward (and will likely do so in the next movie as well). It feels like the whole mess could have been much better if they'd come up with specific answers and background for important characters in advance, then trickled that out through the movies, rather than trying to fill in the gaps as they go without a single unified vision.

In a way, it almost feels like they looked at everything the Marvel movies have been doing right, then deliberately did the opposite.
