Spoiler (click to toggle):
The Last Jedi is a joke filled with misdirected humor and holes a reanimated Leia would easily fly through.

Movie for what: if you can turn your light speed moving ship into a weapon, why not do it sooner than later, like let's say at the beginning of a 2.5 hour movie rather than 3/4ths the way through. This would allow more exposition and ruminating conversations on plots that are interesting rather than constant and boring.

If you ask if it is entertaining -- sure, for about the thirty seconds I can suspend disbelief and believe me the movie begs suspension so frequently that by the end, you will just give up and accept stupid plot twists as if they were the most obvious thing in the world. Cheap laughs outweigh any sort of character development. The most we learn is that Rae is strong and capable of balancing all of the force, she has (at this point) no psychological wounds that naw at her (she evidently accepted her parents failures and their deaths a long time ago -- the scene where she asks the dark side who her parents were she is shown herself). This was the *only* part of the movie that was interesting or useful. The skywalkers remain a brooding useless bunch. Hell, the jedis/siths are all assholes even yoda and his bullshit ghostly return.
