The More I think about it, I think this film is a bad version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It constantly tries to "subvert expectations", without understanding why "subverting expectations" works as a storytelling tool.

Metal Gear Solid 2 subverted Expectations by having Raiden playable instead of Snake. And it Subverted expectations by revealing to you that your mission was nothing more than an elaborate simulation designed to mimic the events of Shadow Moses. It did both of these things, however, to strengthen its narrative. There was an actual point to it. Even having Raiden playable was a sort of jab at you, the player, who's sort of a stand in for Solid Snake, who's only learnt things through Video games and hasn't had much real experience. 

The Last Jedi only "subverted expectations" for the sake of either surprising you, or just making you somewhat frustrated. That's really it. There is no narrative purpose to any of the subversions, except maybe creating more problems for the story. There wasn't a point to any of it. You could given us something that we expected, and nothing would change, except for maybe the story being less problematic.

Oh, and also the annoying character named Rose. But MGS2 Rosemary is considerably less of an annoyance than Rose Tico, who, by the way, is now popularly considered the Worst Star Wars character ever. And Rosemary had a purpose in MGS2 that didn't bring the Story down.
