1. I liked the movie.
2. I don't find anything wrong with fans liking the stuff that's clearly in there specifically for fans.
3. I also don't find anything wrong with being critical of a small element that bothered me as a casual Star Wars fan who didn't understand a lot of the shit you all did about all of that connective tissue, and as a result would've preferred more focus on the character to whom I'd been introduced on the film.

You keep acting like there's a right or wrong answer to my complaint. There isn't. Those bits worked for you and many others. They didn't for me, SoulHonky, and a smaller number of others. All opinion. All fine.
