The movie is far from perfect and deserves more than a 5 overall rating from the users. The first half is kind of annoying with its tone and pacing but after thats out of the way the movie is very enjoyable.

Star Wars VIII was brilliant. I do not understand why other audiences are so disappointed. It was remarkable, the characters, the development, the story lines etc. It was magnificent. It kept me on the edge of my seat.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is unlike any Star Wars film before. It delivers fantastic performances, writing, cinematography, action, special effects, music, worlds, emotional moments and beyond that; something truly special. TheStar Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is unlike any Star Wars film before. It delivers fantastic performances, writing, cinematography, action, special effects, music, worlds, emotional moments and beyond that; something truly special. The acting in this movie is simply amazing. Everyone does a great job but some of the standouts for me were Rey, Kylo Ren, Luke, and Snoke. They arguably have some of the most integral scenes in the movie and flawlessly deliver believable and emotionally driven performances. The writing is also great; with more twists and turns then any Star Wars movie before. It will keep you guessing the entire movie, and continue to prove you wrong time and time again. The cinematography is very beautiful and unique to The Last Jedi as Rian Johnson's long time cinematographer Steve Yedlin worked on this movie. He framed certain shots in a way no Star Wars movie has ever done before, which is great as it gives this movie a really different feel. The action sequences are fantastic. The lightsaber choreography specifically blew me away as to how amazingly executed it was in this movie. The special effects are also top notch. Snoke specifically looks much better than he did in The Force Awakens. His appearance is a lot more life like and believable. There are not as many new musical themes in this movie as The Force Awakens, though the music is still memorable and balanced very well throughout the movie. I really liked the new locations in this movie. Of course it spends more time on Ahch-To, which is always a beautiful sight to see. Canto Bight is a gorgeous looking town with lots of light effects and things going on. And Crait looks gorgeous with the salt flats and bursting red colours. The movie is also filled with some really great emotional moments. I want to highlight on Leia specifically, as there are certain moments in this movie that pay tribute to her last appearance in the saga perfectly. All of what I have mentioned is great, but this movie does something else entirely that makes it so special. The movie has an underlying message/meaning, that separates it from the rest of the saga. I do not want to give away too much without spoiling it, but The Last Jedi makes you rethink about its heroes, and what it means to be a hero. The movie is not without its flaws, however certain people will be bothered by more things than others. Some of the humour in the beginning of the movie did not work for me, and some of the supporting characters could have had better conclusions. But the things it does not do well, are far out shined by the things it does tremendously well. I can see why this movie is getting a mixed reception, as it takes a lot of risks that some may not agree with. However for me, I think the risks it takes are incredibly powerful and payoff in the end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ante todo, quiero expresar que respeto cada una de las opiniones (aunque algunas no las comprenda).

The Last Jedi ha sido una de las pocas películas que me mantuvo al borde del asiento, haciendo que las más de dos horas se hicieran cortas, una entrega distinta con su propia estampa, la franquicia pedía esto luego de siete episodios, una precuela (Rogue One), y varias series de televisión. El lema es: "Cada generación tiene una historia" y en parte tiene razón, pero siempre bajo una misma línea, esta grandiosa leyenda necesitaba un refresco y eso lo entendió hasta el mismísimo George Lucas cuando decidió venderle los derechos a Disney porque comprendió que todo ciclo tiene su fin, es la ley de la vida, y el suyo terminó con las precuelas. No por esto hay que olvidar a George, siempre estaremos agradecidos de haber creado este fenómeno que se adueñó de los corazones de niños, adolescentes y adultos. Los críticos (público general) no les agradó de The Force Awakens argumentando que tomó demasiadas cosas del episodio IV, ahora los que están en contra de The Last Jedi apuntan que parece una película independiente, por alejarse de la línea de las originales (a mí no me parece tan así).

Ciertamente este episodio ocho va tomando va tomando un camino distinto del habitual, y como lo vengo diciendo es necesario luego de cuarenta años, o sino disney hubiese remasterizado la primera trilogía y listo. ¿Eso es lo que quieren? Yo no.

Lo que más me agradó de The Last Jedi es que no es otra película de Hollywood donde los buenos están bajo presión durante toda la película y en el tramo final de la nada consiguen revertir la situación, pues Rian Johnson no lo quiso así, acá no hay un claro dominio del "bien" o "mal", y nos enseña que todo objetivo requiere de mucho sacrificio y dolor para lograrlo.

------- SPOILERS --------

¿Cuál es el verdadero enojo del público?

En lo personal, creo que la gente que salió disgustada fue porque no se cumplió la teoría que la mayoría esperaba sobre el linaje de Rey, decisión a la cual aplaudo. "Dinámica de lo impensado" esta frase no aplica solo para el fútbol, para tener éxito muchas veces hay que arriesgarse, aunque habrá gente que no les guste ese estilo, pero a muchos otros sí. No hay nada de malo que Rey sea hija de unos "don nadie" acaso que para que la fuerza se manifieste debes ser obligatoriamente de un linaje heroico? Como lo dejó claro Luke, la fuerza no es sólo levantar rocas o usar un sable de luz, la fuerza es todo lo que rodea a esa galaxia lejana que es el poderoso aliado de los desamparados, de aquellos que a pesar de su situación crítica prevalecen con esperanza (como es el caso de Rey que a pesar de los años, ella seguía esperando a su familia en Jakku). Ciertamente a Rey le faltó algo de entrenamiento, pero si nos vamos a ese punto, Luke no terminó su entrenamiento tampoco en el episodio V y pudo por lo menos combatir a Darth Vader. No entiendo como hay gente que compara esta película con los primeros tres episodios, esos episodios sí se alejaron totalmente de lo que en realidad es Star Wars llenando la pantalla de política, diálogos innecesarios y romance al estilo de Romeo y Julieta. Acá empieza un nuevo trayecto donde se pone fin a la política y al ámbito religioso, y comienza la esperanza. LO MEJOR DE LA PELÍCULA

- El desarrollo de los personajes; sobretodo Kylo Ren, Rey, Luke, Poe y Leia.

- Lo impredecible de la trama

- Efectos visuales

LO QUE NO ME GUSTO

- Desenlace de Snoke
- Falta de explicación de algunos tópicos.

En general, yo concuerdo con la crítica de los expertos, una maravillosa película.… Expand

I think that line is what a lot of the haters of this film didn't got. Stop trying to get back to the past and accept the future. This movie is diferent from anything we've seen from this franchise until now. Being the 9° film in a franchise and introducing new concepts is pretty bold. I admired that and i didn't have a problem with any of the new concepts so that helps.

Yep, i've gotta admit this movie is not perfect. Being Star Wars i can easily overlook some minor issues, like two or three lines that don't feel quite right, some underdeveloped characters or del Toro's stupid accent but it's a little difficult to overlook a whole sequence. The Canto Bight part felt kinda prequel-ish to me.

I belive i've never been as enthralled in film as when i first saw The Last Jedi. I don't recall feeling like this with any other film. I couldn't blink afraid to miss something. Every character interaction amazed me and when there was a big revelation i had butterflies in my stomach. This sent shivers down my spine countless times. I was dezzled- and actually, i still am.

On rewatch The Last Jedi is still amazing. Williams' score and Johnson's direction shine even more. This is Johnsson's expression, it's a piece of art. Some of what i felt the first time is lost, of course, that was something special and i hope i can feel that again with Episode XI or another film. Because that is why i watch movies. To feel. And this movie shook every bone in body and made feel through out every scene. This movie reminded me why i watch and love movies and my experience with it was really special.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is simply wonderful. Star Wars The Last Jedi is a great continuation for the franchise, it is an extremely captivating film, it has scenes nostalgic and that make the public get thrilled. All characters have their screen time, developing in an exceptional way the old characters and the new characters. The film is beautiful (especially the scenes of space battles), director Rian Johnson surprised me with his work and his way of filming the scenes. Star Wars The Last Jedi leaves the public waiting for the next movie and curious about what is to come.

The heroes introduced in force awakens didn't get as much screen time. The new resistance leader with the purple hair wasn't very interesting. It also has a slow start and the overall story about trying to escape from imperial ships was a bit pointless. Still, despite all of those criticisms I had a really great time watching it. There really are some fantastic moments and I appreciate the fact that this movie was clearly made for the fans. Ray and Kylo Ren in particular pulled me in. It didn't quite meet my expectations and struggled with pacing but overall it's a great movie and i'm excited to watch it again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I liked this movie, as I liked The Force Awakens. Now I must say that I'm not someone who is familiar with the full lore of Star Wars (I've only seen the 9 movies multiple times). I especially liked the visuals and some of the more poetic moments (Leia's flight but also the silence after the push to light-speed by Holdo), and the Luke part was all quite great as were the action sequences. As many others, I disliked the casino scenes and even in general, the new characters do not bring any value (Rose is irritating as is DJ's stuttering). I don't really understand the ongoing discussion about Snoke. Some people seem to think that Rian didn't like the character and so he killed him off. This is of course complete bs, do you really think Disney doesn't have a clear 3-movie arc for Snoke...? It has become quite impossible to make a Star Wars movie which pleases all due to the contradictive expectations. Looking forward to IX and the following trilogy (and the Han Solo spin off).… Expand

rust87Jan 4, 2018

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is a major step forward for the Star Wars Saga, and is a triumph for a number of reasons.

1) Characterisation. It's this - not plot - that is the key to any good story. Rian Johnson pushes these characters into new and fascinating places. Poe, simply a hot-shot pilot in TFA, is forced to realise that being a hot-shot isn't all that matters, and the way the film handles his and Leia's relationship is wonderful. Finn, still only interested in saving himself and Rey, realises that the struggles of the galaxy are bigger than him and commits himself to the Resistance. It goes without saying that Rey and Kylo have the most fascinating story - both characters more complex than the basic shades of light and dark this series is used to portraying.
2) Myth and Legacy. Luke Skywalker is a legend, both in the world of these movies and in fandom. This presents a challenge. You can't have the same character you said goodbye to 35 years ago - that would be dull and pointless. He has to evolve and have an arc. But we've seen from AotC that having a beloved older character have their badass moment in the spotlight doesn't work. TLJ does something far more poignant. Luke is broken; crippled by the burden of his own myth, disillusioned by the cyclical nature of the battle between light and dark and wracked with guilt over a single moment of weakness. But by the end of this movie Luke doesn't pull out his lightsaber and cut the First Order to pieces. Instead, he becomes a true Jedi, refusing to fight anyone and pulling off the greatest force trick in history to allow the rebels to escape. More importantly, however, he finally allows his myth to take over, and gives the galaxy the grand spectacle it needs to find hope. (The kids at the end even play out Luke's last stand on Crait with makeshift toys. His myth has taken hold.)
3. Subversion. What did you want? Rey to be a Skywalker? That isn't a story - Rey being a nobody who rises from nothing in a world where those with the real family legacy (Luke and Kylo) are crippled by it. Did you want Snoke to continue being mean and mysterious from the shadows until Kylo turned good and killed him in IX? That's been done - Kylo killing him and cementing his place as the series' villain is fresh and fascinating and leaves IX a blank slate. These broader points aside, TLJ contains some of the most stunning camerawork and acting ever seen in a Star Wars film (Hamill and Driver in particular are incredible). There are scenes here (the throne room, Luke and Leia, Luke's last stand) that are among the best in the series. Yes, it drags in places (Canto Bight in particular). Yes, it takes time and repeat viewings to fully digest. But Star Wars needed to be challenged if it was to grow as a franchise.

It is valid to be disappointed if this was not the movie you'd hoped for, but that doesn't negate its quality. To say that it is a terrible film is simply wrong. You can disagree with its choices but you cannot deny the quality of filmmaking on display here. I think if some fans were to let go of the stories the wrote in their heads and try to understand the beauty and complexity of this one, they might even start to enjoy the franchise they claim to love.… Expand

Beautiful thematic messages permeate the entire story (the role that failure plays in our lives, as well as the idea to "Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to"), and there is a LOT of story. The long run time is absolutely justified for me, and I honestly would have been fine with it being even longer. A joy for a Star Wars fan eager to see something new.… Expand

In factI think Disney finally realized a huge part of the star wars fanbase is over 9 years old, this movie leaves you with lot to think about and is definitely the best star wars movie I've ever seen and my sister, mom, and dad all agree. In fact this is one of the best movies I've ever seen, The only problem I had with it was the casino planet sequence. Also I believe all the 0-2 reviews left by fanboys are because Luke wasn't Yoda 2.0 and didn't do amazing flips and blow up spaceships with his mind smh... I feel sorry for anyone who didn't enjoy this movie but I have a hard time believing they honestly think this movie deserved a 0, 1 or 2 because they've obviously finished the movie and anything under a 3 isn't worth staying till the end for, another thought is this completely deviates from the original trilogy, you know the children's movie where a boy grows up and learns to swordfight with his pet robot and fuzzy animal friend. I can imagine in the 70s the original trilogy being considered a great kids movie but the last Jedi is a different beast entirely and will have you thinking on whole new levels as in not everything and everyone is completely good or evil. The conflict within Luke's mind is for lack of a better word realistic. I mean did some people expect this movie to be about Luke destroying armies with his mind and being some type of zen God? I mean think about what he has witnessed, maybe it would be better if the Jedi were dead? I hate it for the bad reviewers cause I wish that they saw what I did or at least enjoyed it in someway. All I can hope for is Disney listens to the less vocal majority of people who truly loved this film and I hope they stay the course… Expand

Now I can safely say that this movie is far better than Episode VII. Rian provided answers to most of what I wanted and some great twists to keep me engaged. I love Star Wars, but I only care about the episodes (the spin-offs just don't make the cut for me) so after waiting for two years for this movie I am happy to say it was worth the wait.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was great. Easily one of the best of the series. The fanboy negativity is mainly rooted in the movie not meeting their theory expectations or them putting too much weight into the importance of secondary characters. - For example, Snoke. Why does anyone give a crap about this Palpatine clone? He was one of the main issues of the original, IMO. Just a typical overpowered CGI "evil" baddie. No layers to him. We've seen this trope in essentially every Super hero movie of the past decade. I'm over it. His backstory is irrelevant. You nerds will no-doubt have the unnecessary blanks filled in with comicbooks.

- Got news for you - Kylo Ren is easily the most interesting/compelling movie villain we've had in a blockbuster since Ledger's Joker. Try thinking of one better. Closest you'll get is Loki. Adam Driver's performance is outstanding. If you look at what his side has accomplished in the past two movies - they are absolutely laying waste to the entire rebellion. His chemistry with Rey is undeniable. This series comes down to the lightside/darkside clash between these two conflicted characters. It's working.

- I love Luke. Those of you who have had expectations of Luke's post-movie career - no doubt rooted in endless hours spent reading since-uncanonized **** novels, countless extended universe comics, and several video games, did not appreciate how different this portrayal was. Step back. It makes sense with the story they are telling. His role worked to push Rey/Kylo further. It was faithful to his personality given what we know about Kylo's origin. It was a wonderful ending, and he no-doubt will return as a force ghost later on. There were incredible moments in this movie. There were aspects that were certainly rough (Laura Dern's character in particular), that I suspect had a large part to do with Carrie Fisher's death throwing production a curve-ball. The humor was on-point. The action was on-point. The emotional weight was on-point. Overall, this was a phenomenally entertaining movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved every moment of The Last Jedi. As a long time SW fan, I was hoping to be shocked by the unexpected, and I truly was. The plot is relatively simply: The remnants of the Resistance are seeking to escape The New Order and Rey is searching to be trained as a Jedi. Both have conflict, with TNO being able to track the resistance, who are running low on fuel, and Luke Skywalker being a broken shell of the hero we once loved. All characters, both friend and foe go through transformations. It was especially fun to not be able to guess what was going to happen from one scene to the next.… Expand

It's borderline too much for kids, unlike other the other entries, so be prepared for that.

For all of those with a positive review, definitely agree. Star Wars has never been particularly heavy on plot, rather effects and character driven with wonderful world-building so not saying that's a bad thing. This was heavy on the plot though, analytically it's the first to go into personal motive that isn't just "let's destroy the empire", we're talking about characters with their own personal backstory and ideals that drive them. It was the first to even ask the question "which person is right here?"(aside from not knowing if Anakin should be a Jedi Master or not, which was forced drama)- so take that as you will, it's just another testament to the fact that the originals were never particularly deep.

It explored human themes like abandonment, loss, failure, and death without giving up the Star Wars charm that we're used to. Again, it easily had the most plot, lore, and most thorough execution of any Star Wars to date- plenty of well-placed fanservice, and overall was like Star Wars if they ever decided to add a heavier, darker plot, more lore, and wanted to increase the characterization to something that wasn't just comedy banter and cheesy smiles. Again, not saying that's a bad thing. It explored the full extent of the universe. Star Wars has always been legendary level, but this took it to the next level and is the standard for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy genre to come: 10/10.… Expand

It's time to grow up and that isn't comfortable. The movie explores themes that directly put a mirror up the audience and asks questions about the nature of idolization, wish fulfillment, nostalgia, expectations & labels, authority, blind respect, communication, nature of war, looking at things in black & white, over reactions & rash decisions, ego, failure & how to deal with it, trauma and holding onto the past in ways that aren't healthy, moving forward in ways which aren't healthy, symbols vs real people, fame, responsibility, identity, aging, younger generations relationship to older ones, and in particular coming to terms with the fact that the older generation may not be perfect or even right and the responsibility the current generation now faces knowing there isn't a clear answer to these big problems or someone to turn to answer them. These are all things that are uncomfortable to face initially but they are universal themes that should be taught, much like the themes that we hold so deal to our heart that the original trilogy gave us. Give the movie another viewing, with an open mind and a level head. It is messy, and very flawed in a lot of aspects, but let's not let those things blind us so we can see the forest beyond the trees. There are very mature, nuanced things that the movie explores, new things, perhaps unpleasant things and we can agree it didn't get there in the best manner. It played with subversion in some dramatic areas it shouldn't have and perhaps was a bit cynical, goofy or shortsighted in others, but I'll take those flaws in order to get the concepts it brought to light. Upon a 2nd viewing most of the negative things weren't all that bad either. The pacing felt better (particularly the casino scene), things didn't feel as awkward and off, and the overall the annoying aspects just weren't as glaring or distracting and I could actually enjoy what was the film was doing as opposed to being irritated or on guard with what would come next. I even think if you view it through a meta perspective you can possibly have some campy fun in some of the weaker moments too. Overall it's a flawed film and there are things that it lacks no matter what, but if you're patient and can look past your differences with the film, it offers some really amazing insights & ideas for not just a Star Wars film, but a blockbuster film. Asking us a very mature, adult question; to move past our fantasies & gut reactions and to take a breath & move forward with perspective in all aspects of life. That's something I'm thrilled that it did and it makes me proud to continue calling myself a lifelong Star Wars fan. 1st Viewing: 6.5 out of 10
2nd Viewing: 8.5 out of 10 (10 was to balance out the irrational 0's & 1's)… Expand

This is overall a fantastic film!!! Great characters and world-building, however, it struggles with pacing and struggling to find anything for some side characters to do.

I stopped going to major releases a time ago because I've always found myself disappointed. All of them seemed to be boring and predictable, milking the same old stories: good guys beat bad guys, the young reckless kid is right, etc.

So II stopped going to major releases a time ago because I've always found myself disappointed. All of them seemed to be boring and predictable, milking the same old stories: good guys beat bad guys, the young reckless kid is right, etc.

So I went to this movie fully expecting this kind of crap. Fortunately (and surprisingly), I was completely blown away by this movie. Every minute kept me on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what is going to happen next. I have not felt this kind of suspense while watching a movie for years.

Outside this, the movie has some amazing scenes. I was constantly getting goosebumps, and I'm considering going to see it again only to watch one of such scenes.

I would say that this movie is a masterpiece, the best Star Wars movie since "The Empire Strikes Back". By far. I cannot recommend enough that you go watch it. 10/10… Expand

The movie is great. I would give 9 because the first act is slow. But when it goes to the second act the movie grows and it's so great and beutifull. Very recommended.

Rian Johnson showed us what he imagined of the Star Wars universe and it was the best usage of its different creatures, society and the Force, opening a vast range of new posibilities and stories.
Keep in mind that this is a movie, not a book. Its focus is on what is most important, so it won't answer all the questions, naturally. The movie give us everything we could ask for: amazing batles and fights (physical and emotional), interesting characters, great villian, mounting tension and unexpected plot events. Plus it is a lot of fun to watch as well, but not trying hard to be funny.
Well done!… Expand

First of all it's my first review and I don't want to make furious anyone. For my opinion if we divide Episode VII and VIII we can totally find differences in all aspects. I think it based on work of director(J. J. Abrams was changed by RianFirst of all it's my first review and I don't want to make furious anyone. For my opinion if we divide Episode VII and VIII we can totally find differences in all aspects. I think it based on work of director(J. J. Abrams was changed by Rian Johnson). And for me this change gives great result in common. And now step by step:
1. I'll recommend you watch Star Wars: Episode VIII in IMAX cinemas because for my opinion it's the best way how feel and be imbued with this film. Audio and picture are in directly high level. IMAX will help you find it.
2. When I had watched previous episode I definitely understood that this film will be some kind introduction to the new trilogy and in the next one we'll see something great. And it was right think. The plot is testing your nerves throughout the film and you never know what will be next, maybe In this aspect I thought about II and III episodes because plots of them were absolutely amazing. In my childhood, when I watched them, I was very worried about what would happen next. My body was shaking but my mind wanted more. Yesterday I felt same feeling so for me it's great success.
3. Cast. The new picture will continue to introduce new characters like Finn, Rey, Po, etc.(And actors coped with this task) But like a previous part of the saga it will also satisfy the appetite of old-school Star Wars fans and me actually too ( =) )

For conclusion I want add that we don't know about next part but I feel if they continue working in this direction(RIGHT DIRECTION) we will see absolutely amazing IX part of Star Wars saga.
My score - 10/10… Expand

SNoke is snoke, a powerful force user that controls the First Order and Kylo Ren, that's it. Just like Palpatine even in ROTJ was the emperor that had force powers and controled Vader and the empire, that's it. But Snoke is dispatched without ceremony and the "Vader" of this generation gets to be the "emperor". The Sith are not "explained" in the OT none of it is, The Knights of Ren neither.

In ANH Luke was a nobody that was the son of a powerful user, Rey is someone that everybody thinks it's linked to that but it isn't, or is Kylo lying? In ESB half of the audience didn't believe Darth Vader why should Kylo be telling the truth?.

Obi Wan was a jedi knight that did nothing except confront vader and become all powerfull, Luke just did the same and in a cooler way.

In Ahn there's no reference to what controls what, nobody knows the extension of the empire, where the throne world is, nothing , neither on ESB.

ETC ETC ETC

Man , this movie is everything a Star Wars fan would want. Almost nothing got explained in the OT, just that luke was vaders and leias sister in the second and third movie.

I'm really happy they didn't explain a damn thing. This isn't grey's anatomy, this is STAR WARS.

The fanbase is spoiled if they want exposition. The emperor never nedeed exposition to be powerful.

I may be in the minority but this IS the way SW should be.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a fantastic edition to the Star Wars universe. It is as fun and exciting as any Star Wars movie. It brings a new sense of wonder and mystery to the Force. And yet, at the same time, it wisely dares to explore new themes and to subvert genre tropes.

The haters giving 0 reviews often complain that TLJ is "Disneyfied" and a "kiddie" movie. The major themes of this movie must have flown over their head. This is an uncompromising story about the disappointment and bitterness that encroaches on all of us as we age, mature, and reflect on our youth. Luke's conflict relation to the Jedi is all too familiar to any of us who have attached ourselves to noble but imperfect causes. I don't know too many kids who can relate to that.

It's also the rare adventure movie that allows for the fact that heroics can be misguided. In TFA, Han chooses to go to lightspeed from within a hangar. ("Isn't that impossible?" Rey asks. Han replies: "I ask that after I've done it.") Surprise, surprise: Han's risk works. In contrast, in TLJ, hastily conceived plots don't work out the way our heroes hope. People have pointed out that Finn and Rose's side quest could be removed and the plot would end up in the same place. Perhaps that is the point--although more accurately, Finn, Rose and Poe actually make things worse by compromising Holdo's solid and unflashy plan! As Leia tells them, Holdo cares about the cause, not about acclaim for her heroics.

These thematic elements breath new life into the expanding Star Wars universe. TFA felt like a warm familiar embrace, and I was happy for it. TLJ builds off of that goodwill, but then enters into dialogue with many of our assumptions about the world, themes, and morality of Star Wars. But in doing so, TLJ doesn't cheapen what came before: it deepens our appreciation of it.… Expand

Even among those that did not enjoy the movie, many still agree that it is exciting and well acted. Most who didn't like it tend to take issue with its near disregard for the sanctity of the series. It is a challenging movie, a movie that exists in a moral grey area when Star Wars largely up till this point has dealt in absolutes, blacks and whites. But to me that is invigorating. The prequels were criticized for their poor special effects, poor plotting and dialogue, poor acting, and overall not "feeling" like Star Wars movies, with the exception of Episode III which began to approach the feeling of the original trilogy. We want a movie that feels like the original trilogy, many fans said. Then came along The Force Awakens, with great actors, great dialogue, great practical effects and sets, and which returned the series to the kind of story and plotting fans had been asking for. But then came the criticisms that it was too derivative, played things safe, and didn't try anything new. Now with The Last Jedi, we have a movie with the fine acting, spectacular action, practical sets, shot on film, which takes risks, moves the series in new directions, and broadens our understanding of the force, the light and the dark side, and what it means to be a hero. Yet there are criticisms - how dare they change this, how dare they make this character act in this way, how dare they challenge what I thought I knew...it hardly seems fair to me.

I believe there exist fans who did not like the prequels, who thought The Force Awakens was too derivative, and now are up in arms about The Last Jedi. To any fan that finds themselves in that position, I ask: what do you want? I do not mean that flippantly, but genuinely. What is this Star Wars movie you have in mind that you have yet to see? Because if only the original trilogy is worthwhile in your estimate, than perhaps you do not like the movies as movies as much as you like the fandom that comes along with them. The original trilogy is not perfect, and a lot of criticisms that have been directed towards the prequels and the sequels should, and have been directed at the originals. They are intentionally derivative of older works, much of the special effects do not hold up, the acting is often suspect, and on and on. But they are fun, and they are cherished, and they mean something to many.

I think the problem with Star Wars is that its such a huge universe full of so many possibilities, that sometimes when something in the universe doesnt conform in the way an individual imagined it should, it makes them very upset. But if you asked 100 different fans what should happen with a certain character, or which direction a certain plot should go in, you might very well receive 100 different answers, so how do you begin to please everyone. You can't so you have to make the movie you would want to see, and hope that its a movie that resonates with the fans. In this case, I think Johnson made the movie he would like to see, which is one that does not play it safe and which challenges its audience to think, consider, and discuss.

If you have not yet seen the movie, I would suggest going in with an open mind, and trying to enjoy where the movie takes you, not dwell on how closely the movie confirms to where you hoped it would take you.

And if you dont like it, and you didnt like TFA, and you didnt like the prequels, then I guess you'll just have to write your own Star Wars script and try to get it made.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a life long fan who was appalled at the prequels. I had very low expectations for Episode 7 and it was good, but I felt it was lacking. Rogue One was my favorite movie since the originals, and now Disney has delivered a work I believe deserves a place in my top three. This is the first movie that I feel actually scores on par with the original three movies. Do not listen to the naysayers. Frankly, I've read the bad user reviews and I cannot find any coherency in the outrage, nor do I share any of their opinions.

This movie does something that Star Wars has been lacking since the original 3 movies. It stands alone, yet is part of a greater story.

SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:

I have heard people complain about the casino planet. I found it refreshing that Star Wars would take on something as cerebral as arms manufacturers and point out that wars are always armed by the same people who are just exploiting division.

I have heard people complain that Snoke was wasted....... Snoke was never necessary in the first place. We didn't need another emperor. They could have just brought back clones of the true emperor. There was so much emotion in the scene with Snokes death. It was the perfect end.

I've heard people complain about Luke, but these people have obviously never explored any of the written works that were once cannon and are not now. Luke was always going to be tempted by the dark side and haunted by it well for he removed all the instruments of the dark from the universe (except for Snoke, whom I believe was a terrible character to begin with and one of my pet peeves from Episode 7. However, we could have used a little more back story, but I digress). There must be balance, and without balance Luke starts seeing the dark in Kylo Ren. He almost strikes Kylo down in anger. Brilliant. Luke was never perfect. I wanted to see his flaws, and this installment did not disappoint.

I've heard people complain that Luke didn't show off his power. What do you call him appearing from across the galaxy as he meditates on the ocean world of Ahch-To. I mean come on, not even Yoda pulled off a stunt like that. I'm glad they didn't have him bouncing around like a buffoon the way they did with Yoda in the prequels. I love the fact that they refocused the Force as a religion, and that Luke becomes a proponent of the death of the old religion. There has to be balance. The Jedi were not balance. The Jedi lead to the Sith. There answer is somewhere in between, and I hope that Episode 9 expands upon this.

All in all, Episode 8 is now top 3 Star Wars movies of all time.… Expand

Rian Johnson had the vision, tenacity, and resolve to take this Saga where it needed to go, into the uncomfortable tragedies, and the unknown futures of characters, new and old. His vision is a mix of black, white and the color of red blood sand (with salt) palette, of death and destruction. A Rebellion, still clinging to "Hope", pursued by the ultimate evil.
