Oh hey, my favorite Star Wars movie! I absolutely love how this is all about Leia's legacy and how Leia trained Rey. Words cannot describe how well that pushed my buttons. I was a bit annoyed at how Poe got to do so much Resistance stuff (I always considered him a bit extraneous) that should've been Leia's speech to give, but, well, RL happened. And the way Rey spared and healed Kylo because that was her Jedi Master's son while Kylo immediately stopped killing Rey because his Mom reached out to him and Rey was his Mom's student as excellent.
Palpatine was also great ("Master Luke Skywalker was saved by his father. The only family you have here is me.") and I absolutely loved his and Rey's final battle, cheesy though it might have been. Also the fact that, after the Resistance didn't get any help in TLJ, the entire galaxy rallied under the banner of Fuck Palpatine In Particular was hilarious. Poe's speech at the end was great, too.
If I got to change anything... Well, a) Rey Organa, not Rey Skywalker, and b) Rey gets a saberstaff! Also, as pointed out by someone else somewhere, c) Finn should hold a speech to the stormtroopers so that at least some of them defect.
(This movie also has the dubious distinction of making much more sense if you've played through KOTOR and SWTOR. All of the Final Order ships were obviously made by the Star Forge, and Palpatine's plan with Rey was originally [spoilers for KotFE & KotET]!)
Oh, and Zorii Bliss was cool. I think she got a crush on Rey for beating her ass.
