This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lets face it, a lot of high scores are due to nostalgia and the initial buzz of seeing a sequel to the much beloved original trilogy.

Just the title crawl and the music alone gave me goosebumps. I was constantly on the edge of my seat because I was so invested in this world and its characters that I grew up with, it had nothing to do with good story writing. I had the same feeling for the Force Awakens, when I first saw it I thought it was the most amazing film of all time, it was a sequel to a movie I had been waiting for more than a decade. But after the initial buzz wore off and I had time to reflect, i thought it was a pretty average movie. The excitement of seeing the OT characters, environments, and props masked the movie's weaknesses. The same goes for The Last Jedi, quite frankly it just didn't feel like an official Star Wars film, it felt like a fan fiction.

For all the die hard OT fans, imagine if a good sequel trilogy was released shortly after the OT, i just cant fathom it resembling anything like the sequel movies we got (not in terms of production, but in terms of the overall direction of the story). I understand why Mark Hamill said he "fundamentally disagreed with everything about Luke Skywalker's character" in the Last Jedi. The optimistic Jedi who wouldn't give up on Darth Vader contemplated killing his nephew who hadn't even turned to the dark side yet? In terms of the story and production, it didn't fit the setting and universe of Star Wars.

I think a lot of the high review scores are due to nostalgia, strong attachment to the characters and universe of Star Wars, and a burning need to have quality sequels to a great franchise. Take away the bias and wishful thinking and think carefully about this movie, you will realize how disappointing and average it really was.… Expand

Disney brutally murderes our most beloved childhood memories and has a laugh while doing so.
(1) Our favourite heroes act totally out-of-character. Watch Rotj (Epsiode 6) before and you will see what I mean. It is just terrible to see what Disney has done to the #1 hero of my childhood (Luke Skywalker). I know understand why Mark Hamill said he fundamentally disagrees with everything Rian Johnson (the director) has done to the character and I think it is an understatement.
(2) The movie is spammed by over commercialized stupid humor. What might work in Marvel movies (of which i like most) has no place in Star Wars.
(3) The story doesn't close any loose ends but creates even more.
(4) The movie often shocks for the sake of shoking instead of going along with the story.
(5) Star Wars was always conceived to be based on a steoretypical hero-saga and as a optimistic movie to teach moral ideals. This is simply not the case anymore it is littered with postmodern nihilism.
(6) The Soundtrack is still John Williams, but we certainly know better from the Maestro.
(7) The story is written in a way as to devalue and annihilate everything the protagonists of the first 6 movies have fought for. Like Disney would want to make people forget that there were even SW movies pre-Disney.
(8) Disney/Kathleen Kennedy/LucasFilm promised for the last 3years that the whole point of rebooting the Canon (except for the 6 movies) is to make them more coherent which is a blatant LIE after this movie.
(9)The acting was professional and the actors were really in their roles, too sad it was wasted on such a movie.
(10) The movie has a few bigger plotholes, atleast one of them big enough to change the outcome of the complete movie during the first 20 minutes (hard to describe without spoilers) - and a smaller one regarding the geopoltical situation for example

Episode 9 would have to put so many things right and retcon so much to leave me with even the slightest interest in the franchise that it is almost impossible.
I will take any future SW release with strongly reserved cautioness if at all.… Expand

Me giving a 1/10 for a Star Wars movie, a franchise that helped raise me, a franchise that I could basically forgive anything, and give my money to, how can a company be so disconnected from it's core base, and ruin the franchise. It would seem like it would be an impossible task, as so many people in the past has managed to create great content for the Universe, whether it be fan made movies, or video games. I'm just dumbstruck, the people who enjoy this movie must be bereft their common sense and somehow be on drugs to enjoy it.

George Lucas created star wars for 12 year olds, disney created star wars for social justice warriors and stoned hippies. Star Wars was a subject without political agendas, it was something anyone, anywhere no matter what your religion, your political standpoint, your race or your birthplace. Everyone could connect to star wars, and there was a unity, a bond between all humans in that.

This, this is not that! This breaks that bond! This makes it us vs you! Those of us with common sense who can see the **** we're being served, and those of you who think what you're being served is sweet chocolate.

Star Wars is dead, long ling the evil coorporation empire disney, who ruined a strong and bonding bond for all mankind.… Expand

Cheesy forced humor, Leia flying through space, Luke being emo and weak as hell (getting over-powered by Mary Sue Rey, being KO'd and buried by Kylo, whom he NEVER would have 'tried to kill' in the first place!), stupid, cringe-worthy Yoda ghost dialogue, wandering plot, Snoke killed way too easy, New Order not calling in other ships in front of Cruiser, etc etc etc.… Expand

REC1973Dec 17, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So this movie fails primarily in the writing and story departments. The acting is good, the budget is up on the screen, some jokes work.

Some don’t, and the plot is nonsensical. It’s too long and there’s easily 45mins of film you could cut that would make it better. It does a deconstruction of Luke Skywalker and teaches him a valuable lesson with a Disney quote. Nobody wants to see that.

The biggest flaws, besides the plot that makes little sense, is how it mistreats the heroes and villains. Luke and Rey are mishandled, Luke is given a hollow and contrived story. He tries teaching Rey but it’s worthless. He changes his mind cause he saw a video. He dies cause the movie is over. Rey is set up pretty good in the last movie and turns out to be a crazy liar in this movie. How that makes her a hero I don’t know, it just makes her insane.

Snoke is killed in a stupid way that makes him look weak. Kylo is ultimately reduced to his worst traits, a sniveling brat making horrible decisions. He gets tricked by something that shouldn’t have tricked him. He keeps the backstabbing red headed general alive for quite literally no reason, in fact he should have every reason to murder him and elevate the next guy.

Not speaking as a Star Wars fan, just as someone who cares about good writing, story, cohesive plots and solid filmmaking. This isn’t it. Consider the number of times the movie has BB8 outright murder people or save the heroes. Consider the number of times the movie does plot twists just for plot twist sake. Consider the number of times the movie dips directly into prequel territory with goofy, cartoony high-speed CGI “action sequences”.

It needed a rewrite and reshoot, and cut nearly 1 hour. 2/10 might be too generous.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this movie, but I went in prepared for the worst. Somehow, they managed to exceed my expectations. This movie is horrible. I honestly can't think of a single good thing about it other than that the music (almost all of which is from earlier Star Wars films) and that it isn't a remake of The Empire Strikers Back. Besides that, there's almost nothing good about it. The pacing is terrible, and it jumps between scenes with completely different emotional tones and, despite being the longest running Star Wars movie ever, speeds through practically every scene. Extremely important story moments are covered in only a few minutes, while unimportant scenes seem to stretch on as long as possible. Most people I talked to had little idea what the plot even was, aside from the information provided by The Force Awakens. The plot makes no sense either, and would be avoided if the characters weren't complete idiots who make mind-numbly stupid decisions, such as hiring shady criminals in a dark alley to help them, or wanting to escape on ships that they know don't have weapons. There's also no explanation as to the current political situation, and it's unclear what's even happening in the Galaxy at large. It's not even clear who's funding the inexplicably recreated Empire, and it's not even clear if the New Republic still exists. Worst of all, everything was reset and everything that ever happened in the original movies means absolutely nothing now. Every victory every won by the Rebellion, every superweapon destroyed, every system liberated - are all meaningless. Han Solo returned to being a smuggler and divorced Leia and was murdered by his son in the most obvious trap imaginable, Luke Skywalker became a failure and ran away to pout on a deserted island and also ultimately died, and the New Republic the rebels fought and died to create was destroyed by in five minutes of screen time by a new Empire which is inexplicably strong enough to build a planet-sized superweapon which is now left to be opposed by a new Rebellion which itself will ultimately be destroyed when they inevitably make another trilogy. The writing is insulting. There's one scene where Leia is sucked into the vacuum of space and somehow survives floating through it for several minutes and pulls herself with the Force to her ship. The dialogue is filled with "jokes" which are always as out-of-place as possible. For example, there's one scene where the entire Resistance is evacuating where Leia says to C-3PO to "wipe that nervous look off your face", or something to that effect. Rey is still a flawless Mary Sue who, according to Yoda's force ghost, already knows everything contained in the entirety of Jedi scripture, while Luke Skywalker's character was completely ruined, and he went from leading the Rebellion to victory against the Empire and being set to recreate the Jedi Order to a failure who attempted murdering one of his students and burning down the original Jedi Temple. Yoda's ghost later shows up to burn down the temple for him through the Force, which begs the question of why force ghosts have never interacted with the physical world in such a way before, and so why Yoda doesn't just go kill Snoke himself, who wouldn't be able to fight back as Yoda is already a force ghost. Also, while Yoda is destroying the original Jedi scripture by doing this, he mocks it and says that Rey already knows everything contained in them, as noted above. The cinematography and directing are also terrible. Even though the sets and environments are beautiful, the camera seems to have no idea what it's supposed to be doing. It will randomly cut away from the characters for two seconds to the top of a mountain or something else nearby and cut immediately back to them as if nothing happened, and other times will cut between different characters, forward in time, or even to dreams or hallucinations without giving any indication that it switched to something else. The film also seems to have an obsession with randomly making things slow motion and silent during action scenes, which feels out of place in a Star Wars movie, extremely overused given its inclusion in seemingly every action scene, and also takes you out of a scene that would otherwise be engaging. Thank you for reading my review.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I waited 30 years to see my boyhood hero wield his light saber and all I got was a pathetic, depressed old man milking disgusting alien teets. This is the first Star Wars movie that I left feeling sad; not because beloved characters died, but I came to realize the franchise has no interest in connecting the old with the new. Seriously, Luke deserved better. I had no emotional response to his death scene, just a bad taste in my mouth. In terms of Snoke, Star Wars 7 did a fantastic job developing a shroud of mystery around him. I feel the writer gave a giant middle finger to all the background theories out there by purposely killing him off with an amateur jedi trick without revealing one shred of a background story. It seems like writer Riam Johnson is like Kylo Ren and wants nothing to do with nostalgic ideas of the past. Kill them all with no explanation and lets move on.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Embarrassing. Pure ego service for the director. Rian Johnson took 7 films of story, and broke that story in a single film. Most of the tropes from the 7 movies - broken. Strong story elements from Abrams revitalisation of Star Wars - broken. Johnson came into this film like a spoiled child breaking other people’s toys. In the process of “making it his own” Johnson dismissed much of what is good in Star Wars. Furthermore, the story as a one-off was incredibly weak. A “chase scene” that took the WHOLE film. Introduction of a mediocre new character at the expense of character development for established characters. Bringing an immensely self-pitying Luke back in order to turn him into a force ghost. Flying Leia. Snoke as a non-entity. And is Finn an interesting character anymore? From the perspective of story it’s incredibly weak. In terms of spectacle it’s strong - reminding me of...prequels. I hope Disney takes note of the fan response. It will take a number of books and comics to make Johnson’s “story” work for Abrams to build on. Abrams is a miracle worker in terms of bringing back beaten, broken stories - but I’m not sure even he can salvage this. May the force be with him. I really hope Disney reconsiders Johnson for a trilogy...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was all for this movie until the ending. You do NOT screw over Luke like that. There was all-around bad writing in this flick, and most characters became more boring, somehow being undeveloped as the film went on. The acting was phenomenal, but the writing and directing was terrible. I get that Luke needs to pass on the baton, but have him do it in a better way, with valor and bravery, not wasting away on an island. This was just subpar in almost every way. I can't fathom what would make anyone enjoy this film. Rian Johnson's attempts to "getcha" and pull the rug out from under you by being subversive in his plot points only succeeded in making an awful movie with no real development or satisfying world building.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If someone told me that I would have signed metacritics just to express my opinion on a single movie, I would have laughed out loud. Instead... here I am.
Welcome to Star Wars **** Leftist All-Minorities-Included Edition.
I have read in the news that some angry Star Wars fan published an edited version of The Last Jedi without all the unnecessary feminazi, social justice warrior, vegan, diversity-at-all-costs nonsense... and all that remains are 40 minutes of nothing.
I also had the same instinct to try to save the movie by editing out the nonsense. This guy saved me time and effort. Neither of them is worth the trying. We have to admit that this movie is **** beyond any repair.
The leftist turn had already been slapped in our face through the red-dominated posters, which by themselves were a complete digression from the look and feel of the Star Wars franchise. The movie confirmed that it was at no point the intention of Rian Johnson to make a good Star Wars Movie. His intention was, and he may admit it publicly sooner or later, to shove in our throats tons and tons of barely concealed anti-male, female-supremacy, anti-western-civilization, pro-diversity-at-all-costs, leftist, anti-capitalist, animalist, vegan propaganda.
Let me be clear about it. I am a 51 years old leftist, feminist, vegetarian, animalist man, but God this movie stinks!
One may think that Rian Johnson spent 99% of his time trying to conceive a way to shove all this propaganda up our asses and only 1% of the time trying to write a decent script.
The result is a movie which has been correctly described as a catastrophe, a travesty, a piece of the worst kind of agit-prop propaganda.
Beyond that, on a strict cinematographic plane, it is full of plot holes, bad jokes thrown in our faces for the sake of themselves, unrealistic twists and subplots that add nothing to the story.
And it does not a good service to the causes he so desperately wanted to push: the actions of the two women, admiral Hey-I-Am-Lesbian and poor-fat-ugly-stupid-self-appointed-minority-social-animal-rights-warrior Rose were so misconceived that they put at serious risk the lives of the rebels (Rose stopping Finn from destroying the cannon, thus giving the First Order the possibility to wipe off the rebels) or worse they caused thousands of deaths (admiral Holdo not telling anyone her plans and subsequently hesitating way too much before finally warp-ramming Snoke's starship).
Freeing the animals (and not freeing the slave children!) only to have them most probably recaptured the day after by the rich-and-therefore-bad people of Canto Bight is not only useless. It is plainly stupid and puts in bad light the animal-rights movement.
Is Rian Johnson a double agent of the worst right-wing white-male-supremacists? If so, good job Rian!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It completely dumps on all of the established lore from Episodes 1-6 on how one becomes powerful with the Force.In the original trilogy it is established that even though he is the heir to one of the most powerful Force wielders to have ever existed, a being that was literally created by the Force, that Luke must undergo rigorous training to wield the Force. In Disney Wars all of this is jettisoned out the airlock. Rey has been repeatedly referred to as a "Mary Sue". To be fair this is a slightly misogynistic and not entirely accurately description. She could have very well been a male character and her arc still would have been completely unbelievable. The problem is that despite the fact that she has grown up on a backwater planet with no training she is somehow all powerful. She instantly knows how to weild a light saber, Force influence people, and leviatate objects with no guidance. All of this despite the fact that it has already been established that even Anakin the most powerful Force user to ever come along had many years of training in the Jedi Order to develop his skills. Yet she can pilot the Millennium Falcon better than Han Solo, she can wield the Force better than Kylo Ren or even Luke for that matter. She ultimately has no character arc or character development of any kind because she is already complete when we first see her in TFA. Her character is the very definition of static and boring.
The villains in Disney Wars are completely inept and bumbling and not at all menacing. Crying Ren is an angsty emo teen who looks like Napoleon Dynamite with a cape.(he should have just left the helmet on). He goes on and on about how his parents didn't love him enough and has comical temper tantrums that even cause his subordinates to not take him seriously. When Vader raged he would literally choke the life out of one of his bridge officers. They paid the ultimate price for their failures. Like I said before-- MENACING! General Sux is a punching bag who exists soley as a whipping boy for Snoke and Kylo Ren. Brienne of Tarth I mean Captain Phasma is a character that gets utterly owned by the heroes in TFA. She gives up the Starkiller Base codes with nary a struggle. She is then somehow welcomed back into the First Order and shows up in TLJ only to be completely owned again this time by Finn. She literally has about 3 minutes of screen time I think. What was the point in having her as a character? Snoke is a complete copy and paste of Palpatine and has no backstory. He is ultimately just a place holder in these movies. A guy who was waiting to be killed so that Napoleon Dynamite could take over the First Order. When your villains are not menacing and scary it kills any sense of suspense.
The plot is basically non-sensical dues ex machina crap. The fleet is being chased by The First Order and is running out of fuel? Since when has that ever been an issue in these movies? So they spend the majority of the film on an extended chase scene that ended up being completely boring. Finn and Rose go to a Casino world where they are supposed to meet up with some code breaker that will get them on board the First Order's Dreadnought but then meet some random guy (Benecio Del Toro) and actually TRUST him! How stupid can they be?! Of course he ends up betraying them ultimately.
This movie portrays Luke as a complete coward defying all characterizations of him established in previous episodes.. We are supposed to believe that Luke, a guy who immediately went to save his friends on Cloud City after having a Force premonition in ESB is now content to sit in a hut on an island while his friends and family are decimated by the First Order? Also we are supposed to believe that Luke, a guy who attempted to save his father from the dark side in ROTJ to the point that he laid down his arms and was prepared to self sacifice himself for the cause was going to murder his nephew because he felt the dark side dwelling in him? WTF? lt was a lousy and badly contrived characterization of Luke.
Near the end of the film Admiral Purple Haired Wig saves the day by flying a cruiser into the First Order's Dreadnought in hyperspace which COMPLETELY OBLITERATES IT and most of their fleet. Guess that the Resistance should have just done that from the get go instead of stupidly letting their ships get picked off one by one. Oh and why the hell didn't they let Admiral Ackbar a known and beloved SW character make the sacrifice instead? At least then the scene would have had some emotional resonance.
At the end Luke becomes One with the Force but why? How did he die at the end? Did he have a Force-related aneurysm? This is never explained. He just disappears into his robes ala Obi Won/Yoda style after doing astral Force projection across the galaxy. Lazy writing and plot holes you could pilot a Star Destroyer through. The Force is weak with this one. One point for good production values.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Warning, this is long and I want to get it off of my chest. Massive spoiler’s are to be found below.

Major plot points built up in The Force Awakens are just thrown out without any regard for delivering a satisfying reveal to the audience. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars to take a large family to two movies and spent over four hours of my life watching their movies. This is poor story telling.

The story telling sells out the importance of the previous six movies in a similar manner! The Jedi order is meaningless, and their legacy is not worth passing on. The previous battle against empire was all for nothing, and none of their sacrifices matter! This is bad story telling. Admiral Akbar had no reason to be in the film. Like everything else they name dropped him and he was there only to be killed off. Why even put him in the film at all?
Snoke was useless and a buffoon. He was just a cartoon villain that cackled until he was effortlessly defeated by a brat. The character looked terrible in this movie too. Just a waste of time and money. Captain Phasma was completely wasted as a character. The character served a purpose yes, but the purpose would have been much better had Phasma been used to any effect at all. I feel bad for Daisy Ridley. I have no idea if she can act or not. Her character hasn’t had any development as she is going to succeed at everything that she tries. Rey has the depth of a wooden fence post. This is a problem with the story itself. Luke failed for two movies in a row before he got it right. Rey hasn’t really needed to learn anything. And she didn’t learn anything in this film either. Well she did learn one thing. She is an unimportant nobody and that’s it. Kylo Ren is something like taking the worst parts of episodes 2 and 3, then telling the actor to ignore anything else. Again, this is a story telling problem. I haven’t got a clue whether Adam Driver can act based on these Star Wars movies any more so than with his counterpart. They bring back Yoda. And they have him say that the old Jedi order was not worth worrying about, but to follow your heart. You know who else said that? Palpatine… Now based on the merits of this movie alone it’s one of my favorite scenes in this film. But that doesn’t mean that it’s objectively good! Compared to couch lint cat food smells more edible.
This movie is just about tarnishing Luke’s legacy. They have taken the previous hero of three movies, one that completed his hero journey, and then Disney beats him like a piñata hoping for cash to fall out. Why bring the old guard back if you just want to ruin their character’s and kill them off? Luke got off easy in this, only Luke and one other character got to be real heroes. Finn is nothing more than a loser and to top it off he is denied his chance to prove he has metal. Yeah he kills Phasma, but that’s not much harder than killing any old storm trooper. And those are cheaper by the dozen.

This movie was not a good Star Wars movie. The main issue for most of the movie is a situation that is handled very poorly due to questionable writing. The sub plots that come about because of this situation are silly and suffer from questionable writing as well. They commit the worst sin of any form of entertainment. They are so boring that only the main plot with Rey and Luke made me stay in the theater seat at all. But this plot didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth either. I’ve seen better science fiction from late night TV in the 90s. Whatever they pay these writers, they should go and buy some rights to fan fiction and save the money. It’ll pay for another few frames of CGI I’m sure. There is such a thing as suspension of disbelief. They couldn’t maintain mine during a Star Wars movie. That’s a bad sign of things to come. They have completely closed themselves off without any real setup for the next and final movie in this trilogy. I don’t care about Rey and Kylo fighting. Rey has already beaten him in The Force Awakens. She seems like she wants to redeem him, but that leaves me disinterested. There isn’t any other plot that was left to setup the next film. This is not good story telling. They didn’t do anything to make me want to go to the theater for the last movie in this trilogy. Everyone that I was rooting for is either dead, made a fool of, been shown to be jerks, or I know that they are in no way a threat and will surely win against any odds. There is one more thing. In fact, it may be the most important thing of all for any movie that claims to be in the Star Wars franchise. Two light sabers never clashed in combat. That’s right, a Star Wars movie without a light saber duel. Many here will claim this is wrong, however they are calling a scene a duel when it is clearly something else. Even the Phantom Menace had a duel!… Expand

It tries to destroy tradition and mythology in a very cynical way and thats why I think many people feel trolled by this movie. Aside from that it also completely seems to ignore the logic of war, politics, science and leadership. I can go on and on, but this movie is weird and bad.

The initial space battle is good, the final battle - even though calling it a battle is an overstatement - is beautiflly shot, and we have 2 good supporting characters - the rest are completely wasted.

The movie completed the butchering of the great Lucas saga that started with TFA. We have a great Skywalker story, a good spin-off (Rogue One), great TV animated series - but we do not need more of this junk.… Expand

I'm saying what needs keep being said loudly about The Last Jedi which is that it is an all round terrible movie. I'm taking the time to do this so that eventually Disney learn the only way they care - financially - that we Star Wars fansI'm saying what needs keep being said loudly about The Last Jedi which is that it is an all round terrible movie. I'm taking the time to do this so that eventually Disney learn the only way they care - financially - that we Star Wars fans will not continue to blindly pay up for rubbish like this. I didn't go to see this multiple times at the cinema or buy it on blu-ray, unlike The Force Awakens. That's them down already about £40 on last time from me. Ensuring we real users give this movie its correct score on Metacritic is very important so everybody should continue posting reviews - we're not paid up professional 'critics' who conveniently score massive commercial films like this ridiculously highly regardless of the reality.

Numerous other reviews point to the glaring plot holes all over this so I don't need to, but they are absurd to the point the film can't be taken seriously enough to review. I was a fan of The Force Awakens, I gave it a 7/10. Sure, it was far too plot derivative and obvious and didn't make nearly enough of some key characters, but is introduced a whole new beginning and some potentially interesting characters and storylines that had Star Wars fans discussing and buzzing with excitement for two years while we waited. It did the job, it got us off and started with something potentially great.

It's fair to say that Rhian Johnson, the director, has NO idea about character development, or crafting a coherent, well thought through storyline that is cohesive to the laws of the Star Wars universe.. doing so would have ensured there are no really glaring, stupid plot holes. The Last Jedi has so many it can only have been put together by a fool who thinks that "not being obvious" is always the right approach.

Questioning Rey's heritage? That's actually quite a good 'surprise' to not play up to fan theories, but to make it not necessarily some huge deal (without going into the plot). But what about the capability of characters to survive absolute zero in space and fly around and come back from the dead? Or Luke's appalling treatment after no role in the first movie as some bad tempered old hermit who has an evil side and shows no traits whatsoever of the wisdom of a Jedi Master - which he is. Not to mention the end of movie decision.. "let the past die" or whatever BS phrase they used. That for me was unforgiveable and why it gets a 1 not even a 2 or 3.

It's not clever, it didn't make for a good movie. It made it a really, really bad. Good movies have payback for time invested and give the audience what they want (in whatever capacity that might be) eventually - example being seeing Luke as the final unfold at the end of The Force Awakens. All fans wanted Luke to have a central role in this movie - it wasn't 'clever' or 'bold' not doing so, it would be like a band going on and playing a couple of their minor hits then indulging themselves playing new songs to the audience all night who have come to hear their greatest hits. That would piss off any audience, that's what Rhian did here. How about the poor, new characters crafted by JJ Abrams? They also got scant development in this movie. Rey's character development stopped as she continued her apparent ability to use the most advanced Force powers with zero training in almost no time whatsoever (remember this movie followed straight on from the last).

Poe? Pointless, mutinous and comes across as "the aggressive little hot headed man" rather than the all action hero he was of the first movie. Then there's a whole raft of really bad side plots and characters. It's a shame to say that Finn now seems completely pointless too as a character.

In short, whereas I left The Force Awakens really curious for more and wanting to see what happened with all these characters. Now I'm just like Mark Hamill - I don't care anymore beyond writing this. While Star Wars is in the hands of those pursuing making current socio-political statements within a sci-fi world, these aren't movies I will be going to see anymore. Starting with Solo - I'll check it out on blu-ray perhaps, if somebody else I know picks up a copy. I won't be giving Disney a dime or introducing my kids to anything but the originals until they get the message and fire Kennedy and remove this horrific idea of Johnson doing an entire trilogy more of Star Wars films.

Hit them where it matters fans - at the box office with the future movies. Help us fans, you're our only hope.… Expand

All your favourite characters and their images are ruined and instea filled with social justice propoganda. You shouldn't even watch this movie even for free, as the hours you will waste watching it, not only will have you grasping for those hours of your lives back, you'll be forever traumatised knowing that Disney came and ruined your childhood memories.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Here's what stuck out to me:
- The First Order is worse than the routine stormtroopers-can't-shoot gags in the older films, the director is establishing that the First Order is so ridiculously bad at their jobs that it makes the Resistance look terrible for ever having lost any lives to them.
- Next, Poe takes out ALL of the cannons on a dreadnought (I think it was called) with a single x-wing and without any help.
- During the first half hour or so, there are a *lot* of characters introduced without reason. It feels like everyone's OC (original character) got screentime.
- Chewbacca just kind of disappears from the plot randomly.
- When Rey reaches the island Luke is living on, there's this sea monster thing you see briefly in the water behind Rey. It wasn't particularly offensive but I remember thinking "was that necessary?" and from then on there was a constant barrage of CGI aliens and creatures that was like the prequels on steroids.
- Soon after Luke milks an alien species. The camera zooms in on its nipples. It seems put there entirely to make kids go "eww!" and is roughly on the same level as fart jokes.
- Maz shows up and says there's a master code breaker and that they need to recruit him. Finn and, for some reason, Rose go to a gambling planet. The whole place is.. really far from Star Wars aesthetic. It's this kind of super high fashion Lady Gaga music video.
- The code breaker is introduced and is a character for like 10 seconds but then doesn't even matter, why is he even there? Why are so many of these characters even there?
- Around this point they randomly establish that the Resistance gets its fighters and weapons from a slave labor planet then just kind of ignore it later..? What?
- There's a whole blatant allegorical element to the gambling planet and, listen, I hate oligarchies too, but it's really childish. There's pauper children and a whole side plot with these animals which are kind of like race horses and it doesn't really go anywhere.
- There's a weird furry hole that is the source of dark energy on the island and Rey falls into it but it's actually not that bad, there's just some water and a trippy mirror that she sees a bunch of copies of herself in, then she's out of the hole later and it never really seems to matter.
- Luke is involved in this line of thinking that the Jedi and Sith are basically the same. He does a terrible job at explaining it, basically saying that the Jedi are vain and the Sith are genocidal. Are vanity and genocide really on the same level?
- Leia is suddenly a Jedi god. Not a master, a god. She can fly around in space and knock down doors with her damned mind. At the end of Return of the Jedi it was established that like Luke, she was force sensitive. This is fine. Her suddenly expressing more power than Yoda is not.
- Snoke's death is weird. He's apparently super powerful and can sense all your thoughts but can't sense Kylo sneaking a lightsaber next to him and igniting it into his gut.
- Laura Dern shows up with purple Hunger Games hair and is a REALLY uncomfortable character. The actress has a history of roles in films as realistic modern day people (and she really is a magnificent actress), and she comes across like that here. It feels as awkward as casting Reese Witherspoon or Julia Roberts would have been.
- Poe stages a weird coup against Laura Dern and then is pretty much instantly foiled, seriously the plot does a sharp, tight loop here for no reason and everyone forgives him while he's still unconscious. Like, everyone could have died? Why are people acting like it was cute?
- Okay, if even BB droids can operate assault vehicles alone and take down a hallway full of guards, why don't they? Why even have troops?
- During the escape from the Resistance flagship, they claim that the First Order won't track small vessels. Why? In A New Hope a star destroyer tracks even tiny escape pods, why has technology gotten worse?
- They go to Crait (no, not krayt like the dragon) and Rose reveals that she's in love with Finn. We seriously don't even know her and they've had absolutely zero chemistry up until this point and the scene is really uncomfortable.
- There's a fight scene with Kylo and Luke. Okay, we established that Leia is a force god, right? Well Luke is now a Super Saiyan ultra mega god who can project himself across the galaxy and physically interact with people and he goes Obi-Wan Kenobi style and he's like "if you kill me I'll just get stronger" but then he's like "Sike that's the wrong number!" and pulls out all the way across the god damned galaxy.
- The pauper children were straight out of Oliver Twist and kind of uncomfortable and the film ends with some kid who I can only assume has a terrible cockney accent and is like, a chimney sweep or something, using a broom as a lightsaber.

Anyway, at least the prequels are watchable now.… Expand

I’ll sum it all up like this. Sitting here right now, I wouldI am absolutely baffled at what the mainstream critics see in this film that led them to give such high praise. It’s so perplexing that I dare say it almost feels conspiratorial. I’ll sum it all up like this. Sitting here right now, I would rather watch any of the prequels again, any of them, before I sat through this film for a second viewing. The prequels, despite the painful slapstick humor and boring dialogue, at least felt like Star Wars. This film was barely recognizable as a Star Wars installment, took zero risks, and will be the first Star Wars film released in my lifetime that I will not see more than once in theaters. And no, making a jumbled, disjointed, unrecognizable mess that stupidly kills off important characters is not “taking risks”. It’s bad filmmaking. Almost nothing of consequence is addressed in this film. None of this makes me happy to say, I wish badly that it wasn’t true, but alas, it is. At least for me, and for other fans as well as I see the negative reviews pour in.

I really wish Lucas was still in control. The man created Jar Jar Binks and forced us to sit through his painful dialogue and potty humor and I’m still saying that after watching Episode 8. There were moments in this film that were so patently absurd I would have laughed out loud if I hadn’t been too stunned to respond. Instead, I sat there in quiet disbelief. Some of the stuff that happened not only looked ridiculous but was completely unnecessary to move the story forward.You are left wondering "What in the ever living hell was that?" Certain decisions made for characters were so radically out of place it left the viewer with no chance of being invested in the remaining story. This was not brave or surprising. It rang as fundamentally untrue and felt like shock and awe simply for the sake of it. And the totally overboard self-deprecating humor was just too much. This is fine situationally, but when you poke too much fun at The Force and the Jedi, it’s hard to take them seriously when you need to rely on them to drive the story. Star Wars humor has always been about the tension between characters or whimsical bits for the kids. It never poked fun at its near-sacred foundations of the Force and the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith. These are serious topics for the characters, the fans and the saga as a whole. Lucas always treated them as such.

I’ve never felt so indifferent to Star Wars in my life after watching The Last Jedi. I think a big part of that is because I’m not confident at all in Disney's ability to do this thing right going forward. Additionally, even with JJ Abrams’ best effort, I currently see no way that he can salvage the mess that Rian Johnson created. It’s just too damaging. It’s almost as if Rian Johnson disagreed with Abrams’ direction for Episode 7 and sought to make a point by slashing away everything set in motion in The Force Awakens. I wish Episode 8 could be redone entirely. I now have no interest in Episode 9 whatsoever. I cannot believe I just wrote that! But I must admit it is true. This felt like a Disney cash grab, a rip off cloaked in Star Wars garb. Disney thought all they needed were space battles, lightsabers, and furry creatures and we would eat it all up. Anyone who appreciates decent filmmaking or has any love for the Star Wars saga is at risk of being terrifyingly disappointed.This is NOT Star Wars. Disney FIX THIS NOW.… Expand

And the central conflict is an incoherently plotted rehash of the Rebels-vs-Empire dynamic. Also, while I was initially excited by the return of the original films' aesthetics, the "traditional" Star Wars vibe has come to feel like a sad, bland recycling since it's in the service of bad storytelling. Star Wars has become a hollowed out shell and, based on the Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes scores, people are starting to notice.

To me, this new Star Wars was a rap*e of the spirit of the films. I have never been so angry during a film, or walking out afterwards. Star Wars was not just a movie, it was a sub-psychological spiritual doctrine for the western countries, it was beautiful, inspiring, romantic and wonderful. Don't let this molestation enter your memory of it. There are about 15 moments you will literally wonder if they were trying to destroy the franchise for good.. and you thought Jar-jar was bad!… Expand

Rian, Kathleen and crew set out and destroyed the legacy characters. I normally watch Star Wars movies multiple times but this movie killed that. Is remarkable what one movie can do to damage a brand.Congratulations on your investment Disney. At least I can save some money by cancelling the trip next year to see Star Wars land at Disney World.… Expand

They are trying to shoveThis is a Disney movie, this is not a Star Wars movie. It is apparent that Disney want to take the essence of the Skywalker Saga and end it and they are not even ensuring that these beloved characters get their due. They are trying to shove all these new characters down our throat, but are refusing to even give us 5 reasons to care for these new 'heroes', who have so much screen time in sub-plots that have zero impact on the actual narrative. If the Expanded Universe was wiped out to give us this crap, I think genuine Star Wars fans have a right to be very very angry. Big Corporations cannot just take over a mega franchise like Star Wars, wipe out every single expanded universe story and then replace it with run of the mill garbage that has been made just so that it ticks a few corporate checkboxes.
Fans need to reclaim Star Wars, before this Disney Behemoth turns it into another Marvel franchise. I actually feel hurt and let down as someone who grew up with Star Wars. There is not one scene or location in this movie that can even compare to Jabba's Palace. Not one character that has the complexity of Jabba. Honestly, the Phantom Menace was better than this movie and it is unfortunate that critics have been paid off by Disney to certify this movie as authentic Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is almost like a parody of Star Wars. I was lead to believe that this was supposed to be dark, serious, emotional; yet it turned out to be half sci-fi half comedy. (SPOILERS AHEAD)

- Luke's character is completely wasted, there was so much potential for him to have a grand entrance, change the lore, further the plot, and have a meaningful conclusion. Yet they chose to make his opening scene start out with comedy, and kill him of exhaustion, or whatever..?

- Leia officially has developed her force powers to the point where she can sustain herself in the cold void of space, and force pull herself through that space like superman. Vader could not live without his mask, despite being one of the most powerful force users ever, even after being turned into more machine than man. - Rey still does not get any official jedi training other than audio lessons about the force and the hypocrisy of the Jedi, yet takes out multiple praetorian guards at the same time, and lifts thousands of pounds of rocks. Luke could not lift the X-Wing after training with Yoda, who has been teaching Jedi for centuries. So, Mary Sue much?

- WAAAAAAYYYY too much comedy in this movie. It's not that the comedy wasn't funny, it's that it felt like almost every other scene of this film was a comedy bit. The opening dialogue of the film is comedic. Also, Yoda is comic relief. Sigh.

- The film is very inconsequential as a whole. It doesn't really world build much at all or further the general story, other than the rebellion being in the same boat it's almost always been in, which is losing some and winning some. It does not expand upon the lore very much, other than the new abilities like force skype, and force astral projection(which apparently kills you, no matter how powerful of a force user you are). - Characters Finn, Poe, and Rose did not actually progress anywhere. Finn and Rose's sole purpose was to be filler in this film, then fight phasma, and kiss (come on?! seriously with the cliche?!). Poe is there to be annoyed with the stand in for Leia, a good pilot to win against any odds, and say, "we're the spark that will light the fire to the rebellion" in a cool way to play on the audiences emotions and provide exposition as to the point of the film.

- Speaking on that ^.. What is the point of this film? Is it so that we can watch a 2 1/2 hour lock in between the rebels and the first order? Could you really not come up with a better story than that? Like idk, using the last of the fuel reserves to land on a planet(take us to another world with interesting dynamics perhaps?), defend the fortifications long enough to refuel the ship so that you can light speed through the ships (which was cool by the way, thank you) whilst being in an interesting place other than a cruiser? - ^ That's just the rebellion side of the story too. The mysticism side of the story, or the lore of the jedi, sith, and the force went pretty much nowhere. We found out that Luke knows of the Jedi's failures and hypocrisy, that Snoke is still just a random villain with no other motive than to simply kill the rebels, Rey is incredibly powerful with almost no effort. Again, could we not have used Luke's masterful force potential for something more cool? - The film mainly doesn't set well with me because I was led to believe that this was going to be a seriously dark toned story, (the trailers, the red and white drab colors on the marketing, "it's time for the jedi to end", the dark, menacing music and tone of the trailers) and then we got a film that dumps on the lore, spits on Luke, is stationary throughout half the runtime, drags on, uses every opportunity to get a laugh(Thanks Disney), and disrespects all of the fans who expected the star wars movie that you lead them to believe was to be. It doesn't matter to me if every fan theory was wrong, it doesn't matter if i didnt get what *I* wanted, what I do care about is you giving me what you lead me this film was going to be.… Expand

Reviewer1138Dec 18, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are many reasons this movie deserves a low score, but I will only focus on two: it failed to evoke a sense of wonder and it was offensive.

Star Wars movies have found success despite their many flaws. They have never been Oscar quality films, yet they are wildly successful. I, as a fan, am willing to gloss over and reason away many of the flaws because the movies evoke a sense of wonder that is hard to find in other films. I have always felt like I was in a galaxy far, far away. Luke's journey through that galaxy has always made me feel like there is a greater purpose than this mundane life. Those feelings were expunged with poor comedy that serves as a public announcement, "Hey folks, don't forget, this is a silly fantasy movie and none of this is real." If the characters don't believe they are in a galaxy far, far away, how am I supposed to? Also, when you create a universe, you have to create a set of rules that the characters are bound by. Rian broke existing rules of the universe and introduced farfetched ones like little kids do during games they play with each other.

I found this movie offensive on many levels. I only want to point out one scene though. When Rey hands Luke his old lightsaber, Luke looks at it for a few seconds before chucking it behind him without a thought about where it was going to land. Let me remind you, that this scene was preceded with Rey ascending up a long flight of stairs to find Luke atop this island, implying that Luke is still this hero that others have to ascend to in order to meet eye-to-eye. When she finally handed him his old lightsaber, he behaved as though the lightsaber had no significance to him. I get it, Rian wanted to take the movie in a direction nobody expected. Fine. He didn’t have to do it with both middle fingers extended though. If you don’t understand why this moment is offensive, let me explain. That lightsaber has a lot of history. It was Anakin’s lightsaber that was used as he turned to the dark side. He eventually lost it in a fight with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan held onto that lightsaber for years while he watched over Luke. Luke, like Rey, has always yearned to know who his father is. Obi-Wan shatters Luke’s understanding of who is father was by telling him Anakin was a Jedi Knight, someone of profound significance. He offers the lightsaber to Luke as proof. This is the first tangible object that we know of that belonged to Luke’s father and is now in Luke’s possession. Luke goes on to fight Darth Vader at Cloud City. He loses his hand and that lightsaber moments before learning that his father is actually the evil man looking right at him. He probably thought he would never see that lightsaber again. After thinking about this history, to say that Luke is not flooded with memories and emotions when he sees that lightsaber is offensive. Him seeing that lightsaber, in contrast to his robotic hand that only exists because his father cut off the real one, should have been a serious and thought-provoking moment for Luke. Making that moment thoughtless trashes all the history that comes with that lightsaber and it trashes everything Luke struggled to become in the previous films. This is why it is offensive. Rian could have easily pivoted the storyline in this scene without being offensive though. For example, he could have had Luke look at the lightsaber for a moment and then look at Rey and something along the lines of, “I cannot take this. I am not this person anymore.” He could give it back to Rey and then walk away. This would at least acknowledge that the lightsaber has significance to Luke and I would be left wondering, “What happened to him? Why has he changed?” which seems to be what Rian was trying to convey anyway.

I gave a score of 1 because there are a few, isolated scenes that I enjoy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first review. I´m an all time Star Wars fan since I saw The Return of the Jedi on the movies back in the 80´s. Each and every movie has been a wonderful experience for me, and for my kids, who became fans themselves with the prequels. Say what you want about them, but they were entertaining and captivating for kids. But enough of the backstory. THIS MOVIE WAS A DISASTER. I mean, it was beautifully made, the cinematography was gorgeous, but the story and the storytelling was pure and absolute CRAP. Rian Johnson and whoever wrote the script managed to tear apart everything we grew up admiring about Star Wars, turning Luke Skywalker, the same Luke Skywalker who abandoned his training to save his friends in Cloud City, the same Skywalker who turned the most badass villain in the whole universe into the light side, the same Skywalker, well you get my point, they manage to turn him into a bitter wimp who won´t get his hands dirty even for his twin sister. They fail to reveal the source of all mighty powerful Rey´s powers, they fail to explain Patricide Kylo Ren motives, heck, they even fail to explain who the hell is Snoke, who at time feels more powerful than every Sith before him. The movie is a mess, and only screws us by taking our greatest heroes in the galaxy and turning them to nothing. I´m beyond words to explain what a mess this movie created. BTW, kudos to JJ Abrams, who managed to create the least likeable and reedemable villain in Kylo Ren. I mean, Anakin/Vader´s story was great, because he was as great a hero as he was a villain, he saved as many lives as he killed, but he NEVER did anything to the point we could think was unredeemable. (not even killing younglings). He really became Vader when he tought he had killed Padme and his child by mistake, but we knew different. He saved Luke when he was about to die. But Kylo is a freaking patricide who killed his father in cold blood and saw his mother blow into space and did nothing. JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson only needed to make him a paedophile priest to make him the most unredeemable person EVER. So, it´s not as we are waiting for him to turn to the light, we COULDN´T CARE LESS if he was hanged by the balls by all eternity. Way to go screenwriters !!… Expand

But seriously, Luke trying to kill his only nephew?
Leia flying in space like Superman?
A whole fleet of star destroyers chase and cannot shoot down one small ship for 3/4 of the movie?
Super powerful villain Snoke ended like that? Also, Kylo was turned by Snoke although he was studying with Luke? How and when?
BB8 - a droid - controlling walkers? Why not make it fly the Falcon next?

kid_cloudwalaDec 17, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi, unfortunately, is a mess, though a technically brilliant mess but a mess nonetheless. I’ll tackle the issues one by one. It’s literally death by a thousand cuts for this film. It doesn’t do things catastrophically wrong, but it screws up with many small but pivotal things at once. 1a) THE PLOT - or rather the lack of it. Characters don’t move forward in any meaningful way. The plot too is pretty much non-existent. All it does it tie up some thread plots but there is a serious lack of forward momentum. Whereas, The Empire Strikes Back (the BEST Star Wars, period) ended with “I AM YOUR FATHER” moment, resulting in one of those 2nd in a trilogy film, which have a brilliant climax and yet sets the next one. The Last Jedi, however, does not have an end aim. The climax is non-existent, and the stakes just don’t feel high enough. What exactly is the end-game? 1b) THE THREAD INVOLVING FINN AND ROSE – So there is a full 30-35-minute thread dedicated to these two where they are tasked with infiltrating the Orders’ Main Ship and to disable it’s tracking device. So far so good. They go to this planet, in order to find a hacker, have an elongated chase sequence, get the wrong guy, board the main ship, get caught and basically do nothing! So, you have 35+ minutes of screen time which literally adds nothing to the core story or fits in the larger schema of things. 2) LACK OF DRAMA – The film lacks a gut-punching scene or any scene which evokes some kind of an emotion. How does Rey realize her potential? The Empire Strikes Back had a whole sequence dedicated to Luke being stranded and figuring out how to master the force so that he can escape the planet and join the battle. His motivations are set, and his actions have agency, Luke goes through the struggle before becoming a master. Rey just does it, goes through no hardship, she just gets it. In this movie, however, everyone sans Luke lacks personality in their characters. They are just harbingers of actions with no purpose and nothing else in between. It’s all too generic, the plot, the motivations, the set-pieces. 3) LACK OF HEROISM – The film deviates from its ‘western’ roots to something which is well, universal as well as generic. You do get a feeling that this is more of a feminine film (female commanders/fighters all of a sudden), which is fine. But then, fleeing instead of leading the charge and not doing something of consequence is not exactly I say ‘dramatic’. Where is the dramatic sacrifice (apart from one scene)? Where is the heroism? And the most heroic guy (Poe) gets reprimanded for it! Where is the risk-taking? And where is the audacity? There is a massive undertone of feminism and equal representation which is fine as long as it is not at odds with the well-being of the film. Give everyone a chance but not at the expense of the plot. It almost feels like a quota system with equal representation at work. Ok, so let’s give our female lead a scene, follow it up with a scene of the black guy and mix him with a South-East Asian. Now, get the female queen and then the legendary Luke……rinse/repeat and everyone go out happy. As a result, what suffers are the characters. No one is given enough time to cook, no plot thread is taken to its logical conclusion. It’s corporate flattening at its worst. This flattening strips the film with any kind of personality it could have possessed Even Luke dies in a supremely uneventful way. Like C’mon. Luke is Sci-Fi action hero incarnate. The destroyer of Death Star and Vader and you kill him like this? His death should have been bombastic, instead, it’s a whimper. All he does is brood and milk aliens :/ You just don’t screw with the character of Luke Skywalker like this.... case closed. For Rey, what’s her heroism? She can lift Rocks!! Great! She thinks she can change a bad boy in her own image, even better! 4) KYLO REN – Seriously, this character is THE WEAKEST LINK in the film. Vader inspired dread, Skywalker inspired Heroism, this guy just inspires pity! All he does is sulk and cry and behave like a baby. How can this character be taken seriously let alone villainous? 5) UNPLACED HUMOR – Star Wars usually have had its share of humour. The banter between C3PO and R2Ds, Han Solo’s one-liners. But they were treated in an almost Shakespearean way, i.e. there were scenes set aside for comic relief. Here, unfortunately, jokes come at the most inopportune dramatic moment. Villains lose their power when their action ends in humour, or Luke his heroism when (spoiler) after being attacked from multiple Tie-Fighters and AT-Ts shrugs dust from his shoulders. The film is generic, too generic in fact. Like Luke’s X Wings in Empire Strikes Back, this film is stuck in a swamp. Hope the force is strong with the next instalment and I dare say with it possessing a bit more heroism and pathos. P.S. – The owl creatures are cute, but c’mon, they gotta serve a purpose!… Expand

These three kids dressed as jedi and Rey were really upset about the movie. It was ridiculous how gloomy it felt when people were walking out.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is literally one of the worst films ever made.

The most visible problems are threefold:
- Writing
- Directing
- Acting

Writing has, in fact, quite a few types of problems:
- Absolute hatred for the original lore of the universe itself. Old rules are broken, mysteries remain unexplained and become even more puzzling while the new additions are confusing, arbitrary and short-sighted.
- Absolute hatred for the original story. Old characters are turned upside down. Killed outright for no reason, made dumb and impotent for no reason. Or made divine when they weren't. Why is Ackbar an irrelevant character in the background next to a Vice-Admiral? And killed without even having a close-up shot?
- Insulting and condescending demagogy made to obfuscate the aforementioned. Yoda says the Force is... whatever. It doesn't matter. Luke is here to show that - whatever. The original saga and the prequels were crap. Said by the most beloved and most crucial character of the entire saga.
- The lowest form of sucking up to the boss of the production: Kathleen Kennedy. A super-officer aristocrat lady is there to serve as Kennedy's ego trip, and a First Order officer is even called Kennedy. Since when do Star Wars characters have Earth names? Since now. Because "sucking up to the boss" day.
- Complete disregard for the norms of writing Star Wars. Star Wars characters do not mention the concept of "soul", nor do they say "Godspeed". This changes things. It changes the philosophy of it.
- The humor is criminally bad. Star Wars epic isn't an episode of "College Humor".
- There's a persistent string of completely ridiculous decisions and behavior on all sides. This is like watching the "Incompetent wars". It's even worse than "Battlestar Gallactica" that started its trend.
- NONE of the mysteries of the story are answered. They're not even cleared up a bit. There's a point at witch teasing becomes mocking. This is it.

As for acting.... this is more of a director's mistake than that of actors themselves.
But really - it's just as bad as TFA. Even worse, at times.
Hell - the First Order officers at least looked like military officers in TFA. Now they're caricatures of some weird misbegotten creatures in uniforms.

I expected disaster from the start.
This is even worse than I expected.… Expand

There were some great visuals, but they did not make up for what is a truly uninspiring movie that lacked heart frankly...… Expand

Que mierda acabo de ver? Innova para mal. Decepcionante y giros inesperados mal encaminados, Mark Hamill lo predijo y Esta entrega de Rian Johnson despierta interés para los nuevos fans pero destruyó a los viejos fans.

It´s very bad B-movie, nothing there remains from real Star wars, except some licensed elements/characters. Story is so poor, even for a Star Trek)))
Marketing junk, made to sell millions of toys in Christmas.

I watched 39 minutes of it and exited the theater. Do yourself a favor and either watch "The Room" or "Highlander : The Source". At least you will be entertained by something that's not politicized to a core. There is a constant premise of Female superiority in the movie which ultimately does nothing for the women. The SJW is strong with this one, too! Main characters are like puppets on a string. Nothing relatable. Nothing intellectual. Nothing deep. No suspense. Not a single moment felt realistically StarWars-like. This movie is a raging pile of crap and everyone working on it should feel ashamed for being a part of it. You blew your chance to make Star Wars great again. You bunch of hypocrites and ignorant who care nothing for the consistency, lore and fans. And this is the reason why it will be negative, since you are the cancer of the Star Wars. You are it's Dark Side and there will be time when the Balance will be made anew. Maybe not now. But you will be forgottn, Disney's trilogy of travesty and despair.… Expand

On the whole, however, the characters are unlikable caricatures with sloppy dialog. The story itself is a convoluted, meandering mess with nearly a third of the screen-time being utterly pointless. All the loose ends of the previous movie are either ignored or bluntly stated to be pointless. "Mary Sue" Rei Mary Sue's her way through everything as she did in episode 7, leaving no tension or attachment to her boring, vacant character. Add a dash of clumsy political ideological allegory and you end up with two and half hours of my life I wish that I could have back. I will not bother with episode 9.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do not understand the critical acclaim for this movie. As far as actual storytelling goes, and filmmaking, this is not a good movie. Not only was I bored throughout large portions of this film, there was little development in the way of characters, and little to no reason to be emotionally invested in the plot, the characters, or the galaxy as a whole.

Where do I begin.

First off, I loved the Original Trilogy, I had my misgivings about the Prequels, I did not like The Force Awakens, and I adored Rogue One. In fact, I saw Rogue One four times in theaters. While Rogue One was not perfect, I was emotionally invested, and the scene of Vader in the hallway was worth the price of admission alone.

There are no such moments in The Last Jedi. There are few memorable scenes. The dialogue is weak. There are whole subplots that are hamfisted and unnecessary. Characters are introduced with little to no reason, zero complexity, only to check the boxes of diversity.

Luke has been ruined as a character. He has regressed. Some of the critical reviews raved about a lightsaber fight -- sorry, there is not lightsaber fight in this movie. If you think there is, you will be sorely disappointed. Walkers apparently do not make noise anymore when they walk. General Hux is a laughing stock. Can you imagine Gold Leader calling the Death Star and dropping a 'yo momma' joke on Grand Moff Tarkin? Sadly, this movie has turned our beloved Star Wars into "Marvel-in-Space." The few moments were we could have actually cared about a character's sacrifice (such as Finn), we are blocked from it, and forced to drink a contrived 'romance' instead, if you can even call anything that goes on in this film romance.

I heard about the 'stunning' visual shots that Rian employed. Sorry, which ones? This movie paled in comparison to the shots in Rogue One.

Next, the Galaxy is so small, it's been reduced to about 200 people. We have zero context for this war, and what's going on in this galaxy far, far away. It feels small, tiny, irrelevant. Stakes? What stakes?

All is not lost. Adam Driver's performance as Kylo Ren is commendable. Ren is, perhaps, the most complex character now (but it's not saying much, I'm sorry to say). Admiral Ackbar dies in a bit of dialogue. What a waste.

Snoke dies in an anti-climatic fashion. Another waste.

Rey's performance has improved. The casino scene could has been skipped. 30 minutes of waste there.

All-in-all, this movie was unnecessary. I believe that if you enjoyed The Force Awakens, you will probably enjoy this. If you enjoyed Rogue One, you will not like this. I left the theater feeling empty. The one scene that got me, and I mean the ONE scene, was Luke saying goodbye to Leia. I shed a tear here, but not because the movie earned it from me, but because I knew that Carrie was dead in real life, and her send off was going to be wantonly wasted in this movie that should never have been a movie.

I'm devastated.

I will never watch this again.… Expand

Kennedy at Lucas films has to go and RJ needs to have his trilogy deal revoked I won't be watching it if he or Kennedy are involved. beyond that, it's still poorly written and throws the continuity of star wars out the window.

InsteadThere is one word that sums up The Last Jedi. DISAPPOINTMENT. This film is a bloated mess Rian Johnson completely fails to realise that Ep8 is the middle part of a three part sequel trilogy that should continue the previous narrative. Instead all the story threads laid out by Ep7 and the original movies are completely discarded and replaced with toilet humour and not so subtle political speeches about animal welfare, child labor and the evils of the super rich.

Gone are the real world sets and practical effects of EP7 and we are returned to the lifeless CGI worlds that echo the very worst from the prequel era.

The story does nothing for the existing characters and introduces more utterly irrelevant new ones that the audience cares nothing for.

There might be an ok-ish movie buried here somewhere that a more subjective editor could've found by cutting down the running time to around 90minutes and disposing of the terrible subplots like the horrendous casino planet sequence that Rian Johnson introduces. Ultimately this movie is a huge misstep by Disney. If this movie has come through their scrutiny without reshoots then God knows how bad Rian Johnsons new trilogy will be.

At the end of the day You're going to see this movie. You're going to see the Solo movie in May 2018 and you're going to see Ep9. That doesnt mean any of these will be good movies as the whole thing is clearly now just part of the Disney money making machine.

RIP Star Wars. Mark Hamill...You were right to fundamentally disagree with everything done to your character.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Everything about this movie is wrong.From its duration to its bad choises.The whole casino adventure was a disaster it served nothing more than a cameo for Del Toro.Phasma's apperience was once again useless and they insisted on giving more screentime to Fin rescuing captured animals that the actual war.The Lore about the Force is destroyed as there is no reference to midi-chlorians nore the Dark Side which is portryed as a dark hole in the ground that doesnt affect Rey at all.Also Rey appers to be more powerfull than a full trained jedi without resiving any actual training from a master, her Force powers are only matched by Snoke who is the master of Kylo Ren!Snoke dies a meaningless death without any background of his life after he is betrayed by Kylo.Luke is seen trying to murder Kylo when he was his apprentince in his sleep but couldnt do it and that led Kylo to join Snoke althought in the Force Awakens we saw Kylo with the Knights of Ren destroying Luke's temple.Lea used the Force better than a Jedi and became Superwoman.This movie was a total let down… Expand

So we're supposed to believe that Luke, the earnest, selfless hero of RotJ both 1) tried to kill a kid while he was sleeping, after refusing to kill DARTH VADER HIMSELF, 2) ran and hid on an island, abandoning his friends when they needed him most, and 3) wants to destroy all the knowledge of the Jedi, in a fit of old man pique? I'm sorry, this completely ruins this new trilogy for me. All I wanted was awesome Force scenes from Grandmaster Luke, instead he just makes an Escape From LA hologram of himself?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ***Spoilers***

In short this movie, albeit directed by Rian Johnson, was another Jar Jar Abrams style unoriginal hack job copy paste from its predecessors; jam packed with special effects, prospective toy animals and story ideas of people who I presume, think that they are clever and/or special, but to their own detriment are not.

What Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy & Co. did in the Last Jedi is berserk tabula rasa butchery of not only the original trilogy but their own work TFA as well, in terms of consistency and story.
Sure they have to sell new books and create newer cooler characters, and when they can’t they just make the old ones uncool to make the new ones look cool, if that makes any sense.

Let’s go deeper.
First of all, as far as Star Wars goes, I like the original trilogy a lot and respect it, I really disliked the Force Awakens because of its mock-Emperor and Darth Vader wanna be villains, its Mary Sue protagonist and the script which was copy pasted from “A New Hope”. But if I was to develop a sequel to TFA I would have to respect it even if I do not like it and keep it consistent.

But this film though, I hate it. Yep very strong words I know but unlike the film my feelings are sincere. I feel like Disney thinks that they can get away with any chance they take with the franchise because fans will flock to the theaters no matter what and throw away their money.

I did not like the “Lost” style building up of intrigue and mystery Jar Jar tried to pull off regarding Snoke and Rey’s origins and reasons for Luke’s reclusion in the Force Awakens, and it is evident in this movie that they did not think it through in TFA to have any developed story or ideas about them then. Abrams, Kasdan & Arndt were just winging it. And evidently when Kathleen Kennedy and Co. & Rian Johnson decided they cannot wing it in this movie, heck they just kill the people / ideas off without explanation. For instance:

- Quickly they make Ren smash his mask. Yay no longer a Vader copy, he’s a real boy now.

- Again quickly, snoke is killed by Whino Ren, while bragging how supreme he is (and we still did not learn who the bleep this guy was in the first place).

- Lastly and in 10 seconds we learn that Rey’s childhood is a byproduct of bad parentage by insignificant no name junk collectors.

But the worst for me is the guy we love for being able to overcome the dark side and refused to kill his fallen father which in turn led to the Emperor’s undoing, Luke Skywalker, according to this movie freaked out upon sensing the dark side in Ben Solo and tried to kill him in his sleep, just for a moment. The guy who stood for optimism and was literally “the New Hope” who redeemed the unredeemable bad guy Vader, reduced to a hermit that turned his back on his loved ones, and killed off Obi Wan style, with the most ridiculous new force power of projecting interstellar holograms. Dude please.

Another major issue I have with this movie is that Disney, Rian Johnson or whomever is ridiculously desperate to be perceived as politically correct, diverse and inclusive; but in the end they come out as insincere since they just shove down an unnecessary parallel and nonsensical story arc of Finn and Rose with a little social commentary on capitalism, which is rich coming from Disney. As you know Disney has a rich history of depicting minorities (!).

Suffice it to say I will not be paying Disney for anything from now on. I probably won’t watch a Rian Johnson movie either.

Anyhow if you’re still reading lest make a soft exit by listing minor but nevertheless still very annoying stuff about the film:
- If you really wanted a Lando type character, here’s an idea why didn’t you just put Lando in the movie. Mr. Williams is alive and well last I checked.

- You call that jedi training?

- Luke milking an alien and drinking it caveman style?

- I didn’t see a point in the character Vice Admiral Holdo.

- I still don’t see the point of the character Maz Kanata.

- Force skyping of Whino Ren and Rey, I’m no millennial nope, not for me.

- Forced Marvel style humor every 2 minutes, I don’t even like it in Marvel movies either.

- 1 ewok type cg animal to be sold as toys is unbearable, 3 is just repugnant.

- Damned Disney killed of Admiral Akbar.
And on and on and on…… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was by far the worst Star Wars movies of all time. The only thing remotely good about this movie was Mark Hamill's performance as Luke. Even then, there were moments that were not Luke Skywalker at all, but that is not Hamill's fault.

Slight SPOILERS -

What I watched was not Star Wars. It was some Star Wars characters in a world with misplaced comedy (if I can even call it comedy…), a bastardized idea of the Force where any Cindy Lu can instantly gain in-depth knowledge and control of it, and so many subplots I forgot about the main plot—which was… Well it was about the… Um. What was this movie about?

Daisy Ridley’s acting ruins a character that could have some serious depth. It is as if the ability to fake cry and look intensely in any random direction shows us who Rey really is. I think I am actually depressed that she will get other roles from these movies.

Adam Driver plays Kylo fairly well. It’s unfortunate they debased his character into a whinny, beefcake with daddy issues. I say beefcake because SPOILER shirtless scene SPOILER.

Snoke. What a waste. What an absolute waste and that is all.

The Force Awakens wasn’t the greatest movie ever, in my opinion, but it was the best attempt anyone could have done in bringing back a franchise. What it needed was a great sequel. Something to do some explaining, character development, and maybe some epic fight scenes. What they gave us was movie with a brand slapped on the back.
I don't think I ever would have imagined wanting Lucas back at the story telling. We need Lucas. End of story. I won’t go further because it’s just too sad. It’s too sad to see something with so much potential settle on a trash compacter as their new home.… Expand
