I at least appreciate what 8 was trying to do, even though it really needed more time in the oven and probably would have worked better as a side movie, but 9 was an abject disaster. It convinced me that JJ Abrams literally can't concieve of a Star Wars story that isn't just the original trilogy with a different coat of paint. He deliberately undid everything in 8 so that he could cram ESB and ROTJ into the same movie. Hell, he got Adam Driver onboard with 7 by telling him that Kylo Ren wouldn't be a rehash of the Vader plot, then rehashed the Vader plot with Kylo anyway. At least 8 showed some form of creativity.
My roommate has only experienced 9 by way of Lego Star Wars and said the characters side-eye the camera every time the plot doesn't make sense. I'm pretty sure that's the best way to see the movie.
