I'll even defend the Canto Bight stuff! It goes on a little long, but I thought it did a great job of reframing the endless Rebels/Empire-style conflicts as something a larger galaxy indulges because it's making them money. In a movie that's all about deconstructing narratives and making people see outside of their stories, it's a great lesson about the larger stories that are going on while the heroes and villains are waging their wars. I mean, you could argue its effectiveness (most people hated it, so, uh, clearly needed some work), but I'd say it's got a definite reason to be there.

I didn't hate it, and in fact it's one of my favorite subplots, but it was just very weirdly paced in an already cluttered movie.
