Some of the older fans don’t like the new movies period. And won’t go see them and constatly compare them to the Star Wars of their childhood. Some feel George Lucas sold out to Disney. I feel however the movies done post Lucas are great. The Last Jedi was excellent. The funny parts of the movie were actually funny as were the drama parts. My reccomendation would be to just go see it and judge for yourself personally I loved it. Every Star Wars fan is different.    All be it Kylo Ren is a formitable villian like Darth Vader was (like grandfather like grandson I suppose) Kylo is just more conflicted I love Kylo Ren he is one of my fave I personally fangirl all over him. And of course Yoda, C3P0 and R2D2 and Chewie are in the new ones and mix great with the new characters.  EDIT: seems like the fatties are here I didn’t give anything away you slop hogs! oink oink piggies!
