I'm sure it's been mentioned already, but the more I've thought about it I can't get over how much the characters Rian Johnson added(Rose, DJ and Admiral Whatever) were completely useless and detrimental to the movie. If you take their storylines out and focus more on Rey/Luke/Kylo/Snoke you have a much more compelling(and probably much shorter) movie. You could've had Finn and Poe team up instead of having the Poe/Admiral conflict and the horrible Finn/Rose mission which also added in the useless character of DJ. Also, maybe they could have found a way to better utilize Phasma instead of giving her a couple of throwaway scenes and a Fett-like death.
I know plenty of people criticized JJ for Force Awakens(I was not one of them), but at least most of the new characters he added to the saga were interesting and/or cool. The 3 that Johnson brought on were 3 of the worst characters in SW history as far as I'm concerned.
