I legitimately forgot all of those plot points. I saw it in the theatre right after it opened and mostly remember it being really bad and aimless with Palpatine having been resurrected off-screen with no explanation, and the movie working hard to act like 8 didn't happen.

I walked away thoroughly unimpressed and don't even remember much of what happened.

Like - after your recap there, I still don't remember anything about Chewie dying OR not dying, and I still don't know if he made it to the end. I was (and still am) a die-hard Star Wars fan, and I can't believe that not only do I remember the last film so poorly that not know if one of the OG heroes survived the last film, but I don't really even care.
