I will likely go see it on Saturday.  

One complaint people had with Luke was that even when everyone was telling him there was nothing good left inside Darth Vader he went against everyone and held onto hope.  But when it comes to his Nephew -- the son of his twin sister and best friend -- lets just kill him while he sleeps!  Luke was not only considering murdering his nephew but if he was successful he would have destroyed his relationship with Leia and Han Solo.  To me it doesn't make much sense.

OK, mild spoilers for anyone not Jendu who might mind them:

Onscreen it's much more so a brief moment of weakness than a considered plan. It's a reaction -- and it's a callback to the more emotional and volatile Luke that was successfully baited by Vader to lash out, once Vader was able to sense that Leia was his sister. A moment of weakness at a time of high tension. And in Last Jedi, the moment passes quickly, but it was still too  And so, mild spoiler: the differing versions of how this same event are portrayed onscreen actually helps to underscore Obi-Wan's whole "From a certain point of view" statement.

Again, I liked it, but I wasn't super crazy about everything. Several things went well, others went poorly. It was certainly no Rogue One, which I loved, but I think it set out to do what it intended and while some things were carried out clumsily (like really clumsily), it was still better than Attack of the Clones and imho, a fair amount of Force Awakens (which I still liked despite agreeing that it tred too much of the same ground as ANH).

And I agree in part with Korstyn's take. Certain things were definitely disappointing -- and I do wish certain established characters got to "do more" than they did. The development of the Rey/Kylo storyline and relationship was definitely the strongest and best developed aspect of the movie and that was well handled.
