The sequel trilogy is, from start to finish, an utter trainwreck without any logic or plan in place. Editing one movie into something good is an enormous task but doing so for a whole trilogy is nearly impossible.
Wakeupkeo did a fairly admirable job distilling the wreckage into something more cohesive and (thank god) shorter to consume rather than sitting through 3 long and meandering movies. It still has some logical inconsistencies, but that's not entirely the fan editor's fault. The Canto Bight sequence is something that should have been excised, and other edits have done that (as well as cutting out Benicio Del Toro's character) well enough, speeding up the Last Jedi section and removing the awfulness of that entire time waster.
Overall, if you like the sequel trilogy you'll like this more. If you hate it (as I do) you'll hate it a little less. I wouldn't recommend the edit to someone who dislikes this trilogy but for sure would to a full fledged or on the fence fan.
