Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 8.5/10
I pretty much feel the same way you do. I thought it was very refreshing and this new approach is something the series needed. The uncertainty of how things would play out kept me on the edge of my seat. The new characters are really coming into their own and have proven to me that they can carry this trilogy on their own. The performances from Fisher and Hamill were also a treat. Especially from Hamill.
That said, some more editing could have helped with the film's pacing and run time. It seemed to stutter a bit at times. For that reason I wasn't a fan of the Canto Bight scenes. They felt largely unnecessary and poorly executed. Story wise only one particular aspect seemed questionable, but we'll see how it plays out in the next film. Other than that I really enjoyed the movie.
My previous ratings for reference:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 9/10
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - 7.5/10
Yes, I still enjoyed TFA the most. I know the story relies a lot on revisited themes but I find the film as a whole very entertaining. The sense of adventure is what I love about Star Wars and TFA has that in spades. For me TFA reinvigorated what made Star Wars so appealing and TLJ took the series in a bold new direction. Perfect execution so far, IMO.
