For whatever it's worth, I agree with you to an extent. It might be because the original trilogy was important to my childhood or that I read some of the continuation books, idk. But I saw the OT as the Skywalker story, the prequels as their history, with the parental generation and early versions of characters like Obi-Wan, and I wanted to see a continuation of the OT, their future generation (not just one whiny brat), with the new ones.

Yes, I was invested in the greater world to an extent, but I was more invested in Luke, Han, and Leia. And even though I overall liked TLJ, I feel kinda let down that it seemed to make this trilogy not a continuation of their story, not really about their future, but about the future of someone with no connection to the main story. The other anon said that Rey would count as one of the Skywalker's friends, but I disagree. She knew them for like two seconds in the grand scheme of things and pretty much spent most of TLJ rejecting everything of Luke's. I think I might have felt differently if the training had been handled differently, maybe? But as it is I feel Rey has no connection to the Skywalkers, even as a friend/protégé, and I don't feel there is any way to really make a connection I would like with Han and Luke dead and Leia, by necessity, out of the last movie. And that bothers me, because I wanted more, I wanted that connection and continuation.
