I can’t convince you to buy this movie if you didn’t like it. Star Wars fans are kind of the worst, no digs at anyone, I’m a fan too. But I loved this movie, it was vastly different yet fit very much at home with the other films. Rian Johnson is a genius, you may disagree and I’ll allow it, this is purely opinionated. I didn’t exactly like everything in The Last Jedi but over 90% of it, I loved. So, if you liked the movie buy it, if you didn’t don’t buy but also definitely don’t start a petition to remove the movie from the Star Wars cannon.
