Kind of have to agree with Bolty here. Although one can argue there is certainly political undertones in the Star Wars series (for example, its been often said to have anti-fascist themes, and there are examples of various kinds of class struggle), it isn't a movie that I watch for intellectual purposes (even if it can be analyzed as such), like I would say, The Matrix - which has very obvious and strong anti-capitalist themes. I watch such films for the characters, plot, action/effects and entertainment.
I enjoyed TLJ overall. Has a very "Empire Strikes Back" feel to it, and it was much superior to The Force Awakens IMO. The scene where Rey and Kylo Ren kill Snoke, I honestly thought maybe, just MAYBE, he was going to come over to the light.....a similar scene to Luke/Vader's fight in ROTJ, but with a crazier plot twist.
Although not the best Star Wars movie, it is far from being the worst. It's way better than any Episodes 1-3, easily. The Force Awakens is as well, though it doesnt touch Episodes 4-6 or TLJ.
