I agree 100 percent. If Hayden Christensen had shown up as a force ghost (fans would want Vader proper, of course, but it wouldn't make sense) and told Kylo about the road he's going down, it would have worked so much better.
Such poor writing in this movie.
Despite all the theories ("SJW pandering!" "TLJ backlash!" and so on), I think the main reason Solo failed is that no one on the fucking planet cared about the idea of a young Han Solo movie, or even just a Han Solo movie in general without Harrison Ford. No one gives a shit how Han won the Falcon or met Chewie.
