Doesn't being part of such an epic.. um... epic make it more likely to get hammered if it isn't exactly what fans wanted?

There is a narrative out there that criticizes those who dislike TLJ as those who wanted to get something specific. Most of the people that I talk to just wanted a good Star Wars story. It wasn't about not having fan service, or nods, or callbacks. It was because we wanted a coherent story set in our favorite universe. No one is upset because of the subversion that Rian Johnson did. Except for the fact that it appears that that was primary motivation for making the movie instead of telling a good space magic movie.

And the people dissing TROS are the professional reviewers, not the much maligned fans of Star Wars.

True, good point. If the reviewers are massively disappointed, the fans are likely to be pretty pissed.

I wouldn't even call it lip service. they were just blah... but the last jedi - man - Mr Johnson just needs to find a hole to crawl into and never return to the SW universe - EVER! sadly I already know that crazy lady Kennedy has apparently invited him back for more stupidness.
