I think the real life time difference between ep7 and ep8 is what does it for most people. Ep4 and ep5 was an in story jump. There wasn't for 7 and 8. On top of nothing in ep7 have any back story setup etc with snoke, Ben and Luke. On top of that the first scene in TLJ the whole new public was basically nuked. But that's in the background because it was ep7. And it feels distant because of irl time but it like literally just happened in ep8. The whole way everyone goes into ep 8 I think changes their view. My first time seeing it was a 24 hours showing ep1 all the way through. I love discussing it. But I love it dearly haha
