It does some of the 'small story' well: portraying realistic characters and their motivations, and some accurate 'petty politics' (that don't add any real interest).

The writing is curiously unpredictable: with the usual Hollywood trash you know exactly what is going to happen, but this is unfamiliar trash (it reminds me of some Netflix stuff). So a point or so for that.

I actually like Rey and Kylo Ren, but everything else is bad.

And the rebellion is too England accent heavy.

I wonder what Star Wars episode 50 will be like... Disney paid $4 billion for Star Wars... Star Wars will be going forever like Batman, etc. lol

At the same time I would rather have more Star Wars than have it die with Lucas at the first 6. Maybe they'll get better at this eventually and we'll have a few gems a la 'The Dark Knight'.… Expand

Empty movie that don't deserve to be canon. After this film official SW universe is dead to me. "Legends" section is more canonic.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have loved every Star Wars movie so far, even with all their flaws. But this movie is the worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen and the biggest movie disappointment of the decade. Spoilers ahead.

This movie is just littered with plot holes, it feels like they scraped all their ideas from episode 7 and just came up with their own dumb ideas. The movie fails so early on when they pick up from where episode 7 ended. The introduction to Luke's character is insulting. How incredibly disrespectful to have Luke to throw his fathers lightsaber like that, just for extremely poor comedy. It is just terrible they made one of my favorite fictional heroes into an unlikable, cowardly idiot who apparently has not learned anything over the years. Sure he has learned some new powers, but apperantly he has forgotten everything from the Original Trilogy. He faced his own darkness and won, this internal struggle he goes through was so incredibly unnecessary because he has already faced his own darkness before. They pretty much just turned Luke into a worse version of Yoda. And the big set piece showcase at the end of the movie is so poorly handled that it comes across as a parody. And the worst part is that they also kill him off in the dumbest way possible... His motives also does not make any sense for his character. Such as he does not want anything to do with anyone, but then why did he leave the map for his location in episode 7? Why did he even travel specifically to the first Jedi temple for no real purpose? Why would a character that risked everything to save his friends and his father, somehow just abandon everyone? Even at one point he wanted to kill his own nephew and at the end he says Kylo is completely lost and can't be save anymore. Even Leia agrees with him, are you kidding me!? Luke who saved Vader, who was way more corrupted by the Dark Side than Kylo is, somehow just abandons Kylo Ren to the Dark Side... I never thought I would say this, but I really hate Luke in this movie, because I don't even recognize him as the same character. Mark Hamill is an amazing actor, but I did not feel like I was watching Luke at all... But enough about Luke, I got to move on.

The whole story arc with Finn, Rose and Poe is completely pointless. It leads to nothing, or actually it leads to the deaths of a lot of resistance members. Had they not done anything in the movie, then it would probably have turned out much better. So why would I like these character now when they are just characters who make terrible choices that leads to lots of deaths. And why did not that Holdo woman just tell them the plan, then none of that would have happened.

They also ruined the character of Rey as now she is just someone with no special lineage, but somehow she is beyond powerful even though she has had no training. I did not like that people called her a Mary Sue in TFA, because I always thought there had to be a reason for why she is so powerful. But no, she truly is a Mary Sue and completely one dimensional. I don't care anymore about her character anymore as she has not earned her powers or her place as a real heroine. It also cheapens the force as now it is trivial, anyone can somehow become more powerful than those who have been conceived by the force itself. Small kids can force pull brooms with no guidance or training at all. And who is Snoke? Why is he so powerful? Who knows, they kill him off and leaves another plot hole. And he is like this super powerful sith who can connect Kylo and Rey together from across the galaxy... But somehow can't notice Kylo Ren betraying him in the dumbest way possible. And why did not Kylo Ren use his force powers in the fight that followed?

The writing in this movie is just horrible. So many hamfisted plot points that makes no sense, pointless characters like Rose has way too much screen time for no real reason. One can say that the laws of nature and physics is important in fictionl works such as Star Wars. But when you break the rules in the same movie, then it is a problem. As we are shown that bombs fall inn space in the beginning, but we are shown that there is vacum in space when Leia gets blasted. So did the writers just forgo any form of logic here? There are some cool action sequences and visual scenes, the music and cinematography is amazing. But that is the only thing this movie has going for it and when the context that those aspects are supposed to enhance is complete garbage, it becomes irrelevant. This movie is far below average, I can't believe how bad this movie turned out. And it is baffling to me that such a stupid movie riddled with plot holes have critics praising it. These are supposed to be professional reviewers, how can they not see the glaring issues in this movie? Really shows that one should never trust them.

I do have to congratulate Disney, you ruined the saga for a life time fan. I really have no more interest in this story anymore.… Expand

Even if it wasn't a Star Wars movie, it would still be a terrible one. But when you consider this as "canon" and expansion of original sextalogy... It's lightyears worse.

This movie is an absolute disgrace at almost every level. Things that I liked - the visuals are stunning, with only a few minor cgi issues.

Things that I liked - the visuals are stunning, with only a few minor cgi issues. Cinematography, lighting, set design, costumes, all of it was incredible. The music is a step up from The Force Awakens, and I enjoyed it. There is some good acting, mostly from the older cast. Now for the negatives. The story and plot, from start to finish and without a single exception, is horrid. Logical inconsistencies are everywhere, from stupid reasoning and decision making by main characters to a complete inability to explain obvious questions, ie. why the First Order doesn't simply send a couple ships a light speed ahead of where the fleeing "resistance" is heading and cut them off. Then there is the tone, which is all over the place. Forced, horrible humor cut in the middle of life and death situations. Levity from characters like a dejected, defeated Luke that goes completely against what we are told his character has become. COMPLETELY useless subplots that render certain characters pointless. Finn, Rose, and to a large extent Leia might as well not even be in this movie. Also, Rose is worse than Jar Jar. I would rather watch an entire Jar Jar solo film than endure even another minute of Rose's horribly overacted, useless character. Also, they destroyed Luke. Completely, utterly destroyed him. He is a shell of his former self, making stupid jokes, not caring about anything, SHOWING A WILLINGNESS TO KILL HIS OWN NEPHEW JUST BECAUSE A LITTLE BIT OF DARKNESS WAS GROWING IN HIM. Oh I'm sorry, he had an entire trilogy about forgiveness and seeing the good in even the darkest figures in the galaxy, i.e. Darth Vader, yet the boy he grew up with, the son of his sister and best friend, shows he has darkness in him and Luke, in some pathetic showing of weakness, considers ending his life. Pathetic writing. Pathetic story telling. I would give this movie less than a zero if I could. All of this is without mentioning Leia's superman/mary poppins act out in space, where she should have been burned, hit with debris, has the liquid freeze in her body, and have been deprived of oxygen for what looked like several minutes, despite having shown zero inclination of how to use the force at all previously besides little feelings here and there. Oh, and Rey is just as much of an all powerful Jedi god again despite no training. She can do no wrong. She is an angel. There are zero stakes at play for her, because she is perfect. Oh, and then there's the bomber run at the beginning, where gravity apparently exists in space, and someone can be exposed to the vacuum of space and still breath. There's Luke milking an elephant cow thing and drinking it's blue milk...just what in the actual f.... There's the forced political crap, like the Admiral's purple hair, the animal cruelty messages, the obvious diversity just to check boxes. I am a liberal, but don't you dare infect star wars with political statements. There's the Admiral herself, who is set up like a villain for LITERALLY NO REASON OTHER THAN THEY WANTED TO MAKE POE LOOK LIKE A FOOL. Seriously, I challenge literally any fan of this movie to explain why the film did everything it could to portray her as a villain when in actuality she is self sacrificing and heroic, a close friend of Leia's. Why she wouldn't give her plan to the only commander she has left. If you can't trust the military leader of your remaining...what, 250 people?...then who CAN you trust? So dumb. Then there's Luke projecting himself across the galaxy - fine, you want to introduce new aspects of the force, I'm ok with that - only to have him DIE ANYWAYS?!?! WHAT WAS THE POINT OF HAVING HIM PROJECT THEN?!?! Just have him go there if you're going to kill him. Have him fight, go out like a hero, take out a bunch of the First Order with him! Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted to have him die while echoing the twin sun shot from A New Hope. So you twist the plot around to make that happen, when the logic makes zero sense and it's just a "gotcha" moment for the audience. So dumb. Then there's Rey lifting the entire mountain of rocks when Luke couldn't lift the X-Wing after a bunch of training. Wait, what about Rey's backstory being entirely pointless? Even though YOU THE FRANCHISE built it up as some great secret? In the same vein, how about building up who Snoke could possibly be, building up his all powerful command of the dark side, only for him to monologue like every other villain and for some reason not sense Kylo betraying him then dying without a shred of backstory or importance? This movie did so many things wrong, spat in so many faces, that I refuse to see it as cannon. It is a fanfic, a piece of imaginating from a politically motivated teenager. It is pathetic in every way, insulting, ridiculous, funny for all the wrong reasons, and a disgrace to fans.… Expand

The plot holes are laughable. Sure star wars movies aren't rock solid in the plot department, but this one just throws that rule book out the window. If this movies critical reviews aren't a sure sign that reviews are bought and paid for by disney then I don't know what is. This is NOT the star wars movie you are looking for.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some nice things in this movie, but also a lot of bad with that. The Rose/Finn side-story was kind of annoying and didn't really fit into the movie. Too much time was spent on their little trip. Every character just seemed to be off in their own-subplot for most of the film, and a great lack of character development didn't help. I never got emotionally invested in any of the characters. Luke Skywalker was poorly written, and very contradictory to his strength in the original trilogy. Kylo Ren continued to be a poor character, which is a shame as Adam Driver is a very good actor. He is very conflicted between light and dark, and comes across as very weak, and changing his allegiance numerous times during the movie. The scene with killing Snoke was also ridiculous, and Snoke didn't realize his anger was directed at him? Too many themes were just rehashed from the original trilogy, and I was hoping that after The Force Awakens was a nostalgia trip they would have written this movie to be more of it's own, but still too much just copies the themes of the original trilogy. It also went a little overboard with the kid-friendly nature, which begun with the prequels when Disney bought the rights. The balance with humor and seriousness was much better in the original trilogy.

Overall, it was enjoyable, but die-hard Star Wars fans will be disappointed seeing their favorite characters so poorly written.… Expand

The acting is good, and some of the action pieces are exciting and fun. Some of the jokes work. With that said, I'm really conflicted about the story; In an objective view, it is well done and written, but as a fan of the original expanded universe I really hate some of the choices and decisions they made. So how to rate it? As a lifelong fan, I would give it a mediocre or bad score, but I recognize that if I didn't know anything about the other story, I would probably love it. So trying to be as objective as I can, as a movie only it is well made, and is a fun time. That being said, I can see why is so polarizing to the fandom. Final verdict: 7.6… Expand

However the story is a mix of uninspired and boring. Neither of which are even remotely good.
Narrative-
The narrative of this movie is the same as episode 5. Just as how episode 7 was like episode 4. A new Jedi goes to another planet to learn from a master to become stronger with the force, then they leave to go help their friends. That is the narrative of episode 5 and 8. If you spend a while looking into it you will only find more parallels. In fact the only significant change to narrative is the casino storyline, (which I won't spoil) which sucks. It tries to make you care about characters you just really don't and it amounts to nothing. This could be a normal length, not original but enjoyable still movie, however the casino just seems like they had to do something with John Boyega to remind you his character still existed. It is bad on that front. Visuals-
This movie has my favourite visual aesthetics of a Star Wars movie to date. The planet, Crait, at the end is just awesome. Its like a huge salt flat with red dust under the surface, making a stunning visual filled with contrast of colours. Also the casino is very interesting looking, despite being useless.
Audio-
Its Star Wars audio. Its pretty cool.

To finish this review, I have to disclose that I'm not the biggest fan of the series. I have no investment into this series particularly like so many others do so thats why I can excuse some of the things like how they use Luke Skywalker as a character. However the story is just not good for a movie that should be this epic. In fact the only way I could tell that this movie was epic was from its visuals which were spectacular. However I still wouldn't go to see it again, or recommend it to non-fans of the series. It has positives but it is still a below average film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, so some people claim, that "Star Wars" fans are outraged because they had too high expectations. No. NO! Please show this movie to anyone who never cared about Star Wars, never watched it, and trust me. they gonna say the same. Let's look at it as "a movie", not Star Wars. First..the plotline is just a mess. The whole "find the codebreaker" is a filler. They didn't need to leave, they didn't need to come back, none of that was necessary, they accomplished nothing. Second, it's boring. They recycle a lot of monologues and just a lot of meaningless and shallow conversations. There are lots of cool special effects, but none of them stands out to be any better than all the sci-fi movies in the past 10 years already done. 3Rd. Shallow and make people feel empty. The movie has so many missed opportunities and lacking any character development. Example: Who is Snokes? Where did he come from, how come he is so powerful? He basically exists as a filler to have someone more evil than Kylo Ren, but have no other role. The girl Jedi- if you can call it a jedi, has no training, and all she does is lifts some stones, talks to Kylo Ren via telepathy and she almost gets killed by some guards while fighting with a lightsaber. There is no demonstration of the force in this movie. Kylo Ren character is more like a misguided teen seeking stupid revenge, but doesn't feel like some powerful villain. There is nothing scary about that guy and he looks like he's gonna cry any minute, every time the camera is on him. So , in a nutshell, I was disappointed and felt empty at the end. That's it? The whole movie felt like a family feud and with all the starships and characters, it's like 40 vs 40 people, but the galaxy is fine, nobody cares, let them duke it out, but essentially they are insignificant. There is no galaxy-wide problem with this, as I said, a family feud.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "The Last Jedi" was an unpretentiously subversive, bold, hilarious, auteur-driven, beautifully presented, humanist, and emotionally powerful film with some of the most wonderful action, acting, writing, themes, and characters in all of "Star Wars." It is about as polished as a film in this franchise could get, stands as well on it's own as V and VI, and it is the least “corporately-driven” installment since "The Empire Strikes Back."

It supplants practically every single convenience, trope, and expectation associated with the series (romances are unrequited loves, legendary heroes are flawed and tragic icons, what seem like great coincidences result in dismal failures, etc.) and in turn succeeds in giving it palpable growth and stakes while presenting simple, but powerful/all-encompassing themes that should be taken to heart.

"But Luke's development was an inexcusable betrayal to his character!"

Luke's characterization was entirely appropriate for a western monomyth hero. Just look at Arthurian Legend and its central figure's not so happy story, which has always served as one of the blueprints for Luke's writing. It's especially appropriate given the implications that the impulsive nature and rage he displayed in both V and VI make about him. There's even a meta-narrative argument to be made concerning George Lucas's background and ideology while he was writing the original trilogy in the aftermath of the Vietnam War era, and this makes Luke's disillusioned veteran portrayal even more apropos. After all, this new trilogy is already meta to begin with in how it treats the legacy of "Star Wars" with characters like Rey and Kylo Ren, both of whom are technically "Star Wars" fans.

Luke endured an awful conflict for much of his life. It took away friends, family, and scarred him for life. After it's over, he finally knows peace, only to find out years later that Ben will reignite those horrors. In what way, shape, or form is it not logical or faithful to his character to have him experience murderous intent in this scenario, only for it to "pass like a fleeting shadow," not unlike what happened in the aftermath of Luke and Vader's final duel? He saw light in his father, but he saw darkness in his nephew.

But sure, all of this is somehow way less interesting and respectful towards Luke Skywalker as a character than how the Expanded Universe had him cowardly betraying all of his friends and become the resurrected Emperor Palpatine's apprentice. Let's just completely disregard this universally, socially relevant story of a historical figure being intensely deified in the face of serious faults.

“That milking scene was disgusting and pointless.”

If the whole point of that sequence was to disgust, then it wasn't really pointless. The audience is not supposed to be looking at Luke in a positive light, at least not in the beginning of the movie. Personally, I thought Finn drinking the dirty water in VII was much worse, and it baffles me that I even hear this complaint enough that it bears mention.

"Why did Luke just decide to become one with the Force in the end?"

Luke didn't willfully disappear. The strain of projecting himself across the galaxy killed him, which is something that was foreshadowed by Kylo Ren when he was telling Rey how the effort of bridging their minds together would kill her. The film shows that Luke has no way of getting off the island. I’m almost certain that Luke will come back as a force ghost in IX since we were never told Rey's third lesson.

"Mark Hamill has numerous interviews talking down the direction Rian Johnson took the character."

Rian Johnson and Mark Hamill had initial creative differences (something that happens extremely often in this business), ones that Mark clarified were inconsequential to the quality of the finished product, which even George Lucas (who was explicitly hostile towards Disney and vocal about his indifference to "The Force Awakens's" direction) thought was a great movie.

Besides, even if this assertion that he hated the movie was true, why is Mark's opinion the only one that "matters"? What about the other original cast members and creators? It just seems like detractors are going out of their way to reach under the barrel here.

"Why would Luke leave a map behind if he didn't want to be found?"

The films never said that Luke himself left that map for people to find him. That map just revealed the location of Ahch-To, which as Kylo stated in VII was hidden from the Empire's archives. People only assumed that Luke was there because that's where the first Jedi temple was created, and they happened to be right.

"Rey is too good at things, so she is a Mary Sue."

Let's ignore the fact that the operational definition of this term is universally misunderstood in this context...so her getting frozen, captured, and then force slammed against a tree to the point of unconsciousness by Kylo Ren, having trouble taking down a… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you're a fan of the originals, you'll probably be disappointed. Horrible dialogue, no real plot line, still no background to the characters (unless you believe Kylo Ren, in which case it's a waste of a storyline), pointless filler, pointless action (crashing a ship into another to save Finn who miraculously has not a scratch on him), Leia is now Superman? I personally will not be seeing the third installment. This is clearly a case of getting you hooked in the first one, but not revealing much in the second so now you have to see the third one for closure. Only I bet there won't be any closure except in the 100's of offshoots they make as they milk the franchise for all its worth. I've only ever liked one thing that JJ Abrams has ever touched, and director Rian Johnson has shown himself to be a real jerk when interacting with fans via twitter.

To those who say that the originals were just as goofy, etc., yes I agree. However, kids who watched the originals back in the day are adults now, and if they wanted to do something different, they could have gone down a path to make it more "adult". An example would be Christopher Nolan's Batman vs the garbage from the late-80s & 90s. I understand Disney bought the franchise, Disney makes kids movies, yada yada, but they could have expanded their business model and broadened their portfolio.… Expand

(1) They were paid; or (2) they spend their free time fellating Rian Johnson (maybe both). This movie sucked. Plain and simple. With so many plot holes and pointless scenes and story lines, the max score should have been a 35 and that's being very generous. The can't even get the synopsis right - "Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker" - WRONG. Luke spends the entire movie **** about the Jedi and doesn't train Rey at all. Yet she inexplicably becomes stronger. What a joke. And this is accompanied by a slow speed chase through space where the First Order simply waits for the Rebel ships to run out of gas. Yeah you read that right. Forget sending 1 or 2 of many ships ahead because the movie would have been over in 45 mins. Worst movie of 2017 and I'd be willing to bet it will be considered one of worst from this decade.… Expand

Without the Star Wars name this movie would have been trashed by critics. The whole movie is a bunch of cliches strung together to create a plot with entirely too many holes. The characters were flat and dull. The actors performances were a mess which I will attribute to either the director or editor. Oscar Issac is a phenomenal actor, but his performance in this reminded me of a high school student making a demo reel. There is absolutely no point of Rey's character in this movie. The movie supposedly takes place over the course of 6 hours, but so much happens in those six hours that it completely broke the immersion for me. Due to spoilers I won't describe it, but something similar would be a person from Boston travelling to Miami hanging and making acquaintances than coming back to Boston for dinner the same day. There were no true villains in this movie and the one could-be villain has his back-story and motivations completely rendered useless because of lazy writing. Rogue One was quite possibly the best Star Wars movie ever made and they follow it up with this extra long garbage. The Force Awakens was another bad movie, but not as bad as this. Star Wars went from a "see on opening night" to "see later in its run" due to Force Awakens, but now after The Last Jedi Star Wars went from "see later in its run" to "pirate after DVD release". Everyone should be ashamed of making this movie and everyone should be ashamed they rated it high due to nostalgia alone. Utterly useless movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star wars: The last Jedi is an interesting film. It has managed to create a divide between those who love it and consider it to be one of the best star wars films to date, others claimed it ruined the Star wars lore, like the Prequels and their midochlorians. It's actually quite impressive if you think about it. I'm closer to the negative side, while acknowledging that the movie has its upsides

Let's start with the positives:
I love the way the new Star Wars movies look. The space battles look phenominal, the lightsaber fights are pleasing to look at, and each of the sets are diverse and distinct from each other in a good way. If Star Wars Episode 4 and 5 had the visuals that 7 and 8 had, it would make the original movies feel more mystical and epic than it already is.
My favorite scenes of the movie are the ones that contained Kylo Ren, or Luke Skywalker. Kylo Ren gave an amazing performance to the point where I felt more connected to Kylo than Rey, and was rooting for him to win. Also, Mark Hamil gave an incredible performance, despite not seeing eye to eye with the character vision of Luke Skywalker.
Finally, the suspense that the movie provides with the relationship between Kylo and Rey was well executed (even though it did have that cringey shirtless moment).

Now for the negatives:
It felt like both sides of the war are ineffective, which is frustrating. Every single action that the resistance tries to accomplish fails in some way, and yet the First Order cannot wipe them out. The Vice Admiral was a horrible replacement for Leia and was not suited for leadership, even though she had fought (and supposedly won) a famous war for the republic. Finn and Rose go on a useless sidequest that takes away from the potential time developing Luke and Rey, and Poe, (the only sensible leader left fighting) was berated multiple times, even though he made tactically advantageous decisions that saved the resistance countless times. Rey is also OP in this movie, same as the last, and that most likely won't change in the 9th movie

The scenes with the resistance fighting (excluding the first one) felt pointless, since it seems that no matter what, the resistance will always end up on top. It is evident that the resistance will end up on top, making seeing the 9th movie pointless.

However, Kylo Ren is the only saving grace we have left. He has potential to give us a deep character arc, exploring what it's like to truly struggle between making good and bad decisions for what he sees as the greater purpose. Rey and the resistance can be used as an outlet for Kylo to truly express himself. If the movie were to primarily focus on him, and actually let him accomplish his goals, I truly believe that this series can be saved from its current boring path.

Overall, I would give this movie a 6/10. The visuals and the tension brought out by amazing performaces by Kylo and Luke were undercut by the boring, tedious plotline of the resistance running away for 2 hours of my time. Kylo's potential throughout the trilogy is the only saving grace that this trilogy has left, and if he dies, the Last of my intrest, will end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is boring, ridiculous, and cringeworthy. The characters are flat and totally undeveloped. Beloved characters from the old movies are destroyed (literally and/or figuratively). As a matter of fact, the whole beloved saga is being destroyed before our eyes. This movie has a political and social agenda that has nothing to do with Star Wars. If somebody wants to push some particular point of view, they can either make it extremely subtle (so as not to destroy the story), or make a documentary, or at least make a separate movie dedicated to those things. Star Wars should not be turned into a platform for that. I'm all for equality, tolerance, kindness, and so on, but there are other ways to express those views. They should focus on storytelling and character-building, and should hire some professional writers. For example, I wouldn't mind at all if they hire Timothy Zahn to write the scripts.… Expand

That critics gave this film aThe screenplay was dysfunctional as a dramatic narrative. That is not an opinion but a statement of fact since I am myself (among other things) a screenwriter with a great deal of education in dramaturgy.

That critics gave this film a glowing review does not bade well for those critics' credibility frankly. From now on I will not rely on the mainstream media for reviews since all the well known reviewers are either uneducated in the art of storytelling (so why should I listen to them?) or have other motives for providing misleading information to the public.

What they did to the once great character of Luke Skywalker is unforgivable. Mark Hamill more or less created that role, beating out Lucas's terrible dialogue and imbuing him with great spirit and conviction. He was a character I looked up to as a child, my ultimate hero, and they treated him with such disdain, subverting his character entirely without a word of explanation.

And then, in what looked like a last minute addition since it included a shot of twin suns that had not been earlier established in the film - as though to imply gravity to the scene - they had him puff out of existence in a shot that looks like it was CGId in at the last minute also.

Personally I suspect Mark Hamill didn't know they killed Luke off before he first saw the film, but is alas constrained by a gagging order from speaking out. Quite aside from disrespect for the character this showed a total respect for an extremely talented man like Mark Hamill.

I'll be skipping episode IX. Still not decided on Solo, but honestly, the prospects don't look good. The Star Wars saga may well have ended disappointingly for me on December 14th 2017. Ruin Johnson destroyed something I'd been following for 35 years, since the age of 5 and he still won't shut up with his pathetic excuses for the choices he made.

The man has no writing talent whatsoever. I'd love to have a write-off with this guy, a contest to see who can write the most engaging story. The Last Jedi was NOT A STORY. Stories require consistent and fulfilled character arcs of which this film had none. The fact that the writer/director of this film seems unaware of that point just illustrates my point that he has no business whatsoever calling himself a 'writer'.

Anyhow, rant over. Film was awful basically and it kind of hurt me internally, 35 years of emotional commitment was thrown against the wall. I can't even watch The Force Awakens anymore because this film also destroys that film since the questions posed in the first film were inadequately answered in this one.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is so bad, both me and my father who are lifelong fans are insulted. We both have seen every star wars in the theater since 1977, and we can honestly say that when Lucas sold it to Disney it was over because clearly the same man no longer has his fingerprints anywhere on the movies. Even Mark Hamill in recent interviews slammed this movie. "Its not how I would have handled the situation as Luke Skywalker." Lets go over some points why this movie was terrible: 1. The first three movies, 1977 1980 1982 were basically a space soap opera. You became emotionally invested in the main 7-10 characters. The movie plot was built around these characters with action but it was always about these characters which became family.
2. The new movies. Never build up characters up the same way. Who cares about that new pilot? Who really cares about Ren like you cared about Princess Leia? These people never grew or were introduced like a family as in the first movies. The were just individuals wandering around the plot points on separate paths. This did not allow you to become emotionally invested with them.
3. The plot is haphazard, like pieces of a puzzle scattered all about a table from a 1000 piece puzzle. There were many points where you were saying to yourself, why is this part here? For example, why am I watching an alien horse breakout for 15 minutes?
4. Weak bad guy. The first three star wars movies there was a strong bad guy. Darth Vader. This new bad guy? Unsure of himself. Weak. Self doubting. That is really poor for a movie. You want strong opposite polar characters. The bad and the good. Darth Vader and Princess Leia. 5. You can no longer vibe with the old characters they brought back. Its like going to prison for 30 years then coming back home and realizing you dont really know these people anymore. Leia is some old lady no longer with the fiery personality she once had. She doesnt look or act the same. No longer know or recognize her. Luke is now a quitter. Doesnt act like Luke Skywalker. Even tried to murder his apprentice in his sleep. Dies at the end for no reason, almost like he just gave up. Not the Luke I know. And Han just came back for a cameo last movie before he got dispatched. All of them never got back like a family, they were all on their own separate paths. And don't forget the awkward hug between Han and Leia. No romantic long drawn out kiss between them now that they are old, right?
6. Same old (general) storyline, poorly rehashed. Hey, didnt the republic win at then end of Star wars 6 in 1983? Once again its the empire or some version of it chasing down a small band of rebels. Already been there, done that.
So to recap, this was a jigsaw scattered movie with a weak plot with characters you cant emotionally invest in containing cameos of characters you formerly loved but cannot reconnect with basically redoing a movie plot that was already handed in the first three Star Wars movies. It is quite clear the that man who did the first 6 movies handed it off to someone else and these 2 recent movies are somewhat soulless in comparison, being cranked out by a corporate entity who bought the intellectual property with the motive of profit. Yes, of this writing, the movie made close to 800 million dollars. Which means the bottom line says they are going to make more. However as people clue in that these are not the same movies they used to be, profits will fall.
In my personal library I have on DVD on a shelf Star Wars (1977) The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and the Return of the Jedi (1983) along with the next 3 prequels from the early to mid 2000s (Star wars I-III). And as far as I am concerned, that is it. Series completed. These last two movies were like poor fan movies. Yes, this movie blew. I am going to have to cleanse the palate by watching the original Star Wars and forgot I ever saw this.… Expand

I did not like force awakens much but only because I thought it was a rehash and reboot rather than a continuation. They could have taken a risk and done something new and fresh. I have watched it again but only for the Millenium Falcon and Hans!

Last Jedi is a different beast. It's bad. VERY VERY BAD and for all the reasons others here have posted and then some. I will never ever watch it again. never ever buy any merchandise it generates. did I say never?

Some would like to think that these negative audience reviews are fake or bot driven but it just ain't so. Last Jedi is so bad that it motivated me to sign up and have a say here and also on Rotten Tomatoes. I rarely do reviews.

that's the real reason for the backlash. not bots. just motivated real people. and if we, the audience, actually loved it, the gross takings would have been much more than $591m. because I would likely have seen it more than once.

like most others this franchise is dead to me. I will never re-watch it. never buy it for home. never buy merchandise. did I say never? I will also NOT go to the theater for the next one. I'll just watch it free on Netflix if its any good.

Dear Disney may I kindly suggest you listen to your audience rather than these few twit PC critics and PC journalists who choose tickle your ear. Or, better yet, listen to me.

thanks.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only an awful movie in it’s own right, but an absolutely Terrible Star Wars film. If you are a true Star Wars aficionado you will hate this movie with a passion that can only be matched by the Phantom Menace. Established canon is ignored and Luke Skywalker's character is butchered beyond recognition by Johnson. I spent the entire movie waiting to see "Jedi Master" Luke kick dark side butt and although Hamill gives a great performance even he can't lift the absolutely terrible story Johnson has written for him. I very much agree with Hamill that I fundamentally disagree with every choice he made for Luke's character. For gods sake Rian, didn't you think it might be a good idea to listen to a man who pretty much IS Star Wars? For a movie with so much potential you are left feeling that Rian Johnson made a list of the top 100 ways to infuriate the fans and included every single one into this absolute pile of dross. Sure its funny in parts and the Porgs are cute as a button, but despite a good performance by Ridley, Rey's character is yawn worthy and appears to suddenly be gifted the powers of a Jedi Master without any kind of training. Given that the Skywalker family are more or less born of the force and none of them could magically attain their powers this seems like utter crap and will leave you frustrated and despondent. I was so looking forward to Luke "passing on what he has learned" but Johnson somehow didn't seem to think that this was necessary either! The casino scene is utterly pointless and reeks of the over the top CGI nonsense of the Prequels. Rose is also an irritating and unnecessary character who does as much to ruin the film as Young Anakin did in Episode I. I actually wanted to slap her after the line "Now it’s worth it" As if those creatures are actually going to go free. The bad guys have speeders and starships you stupid girl! Johnson didn't seem to know what to do with Finn's character and seems to have written in a totally arbitrary side story just to give him a part, which is a shame as I loved the chemistry between him and Rey in Force Awakens and there was so much opportunity to develop it further in this movie. In fact on reflection I agree with many other fans that this movie is as bad a Star Wars movie, if not worse, than the prequels (maybe not episode I) and really sticks its fingers up to the established canon of the original trilogy and the expanded universe as a whole, which in my view is absolutely unforgivable. Since when could blue glowies interact with normal matter! And are you really suggesting that a Jedi Master as powerful as Luke Skywalker supposedly is could magically die just because he was projecting himself using the force... Utter utter **** No expanded universe author would get away with doing this so how has Rian Johnson been allowed. When are Disney going to learn not to fix what ain't broke! Snoke is killed off far too easily and its frustrating beyond belief that we don't learn his identity (I think all the fans were hoping for Darth Plagus which would have tied in beautifully with the prequels and explained how there was suddenly this ultra powerful Sith Lord floating about) The chase between the First Order and the rebel fleet is ridiculous beyond belief, ignores the laws of Physics and leaves so many plot holes that you will find yourself bored and frustrated, since when were Mon Calamari cruisers supposed to be so fast? and why is it that Medical Frigates and other support ships seem to also be magically gifted this power just by virtue of being associated with them? Whilst its truly great to have more strong female characters and I would have loved to have seen more of "Jedi" Leia, Vice Admiral Holdo is arrogant and incompetent and you are left feeling that she is a "stupid woman" rather than the strong female leader they should have given us. Mon Mothma would never have been so arrogant or idiotic! The whole escape could have gone much more simply had she just revealed her plan from the get-go instead of pointlessly frustrating Poe. How dare Rian Johnson call himself a Fan! Please Disney don't let him anywhere near the Star Wars universe ever again. The critic that claimed that this movie was just as good as Empire should be taken outside and shot for getting our hopes up. Comparing Irvin Kershner's masterpiece to this utter nonsense is nothing short of blasphemy.… Expand

People absolutely adore it for it's everything, the acting, the effects and the writing like in The Force Awakens and they can't wait for another film to comeOut of all the Star Wars films that are made this one is directed by Rian Johnson. People absolutely adore it for it's everything, the acting, the effects and the writing like in The Force Awakens and they can't wait for another film to come out which is called Episode IX. So after Star Wars: The Force Awakens, people absolutely loved everything about it. Much like the original trilogy, they love all the memorable stuff in these. They love the music like I do, it's so memorable. Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Harrison Ford as Han Solo. The side characters are alot of fun too but with those in the original trilogy, I'll get to that later in the original Star Wars reviews in the meantime. Now for this Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi or Star Wars: The Last Jedi, whatever you wanna call it, is continued previously after Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now I'm sure alot of you might be thinking: I've been watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi with my friends. Now this is not the first time I've been to the cinema with my friends. No, no, no, no, no. The first time I've been to the cinema with my friends is where we've been watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Yeah, bet you didn't you, did you? The film resembles around four new characters from Episode VII - The Force Awakens, Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn and Oscar Issac as Poe Dameron. Geez, they have new actors and actresses put into this which is why they're from The Force Awakens. And I think the film has new characters in this by Laura Dern and Benicio de Toro. Yeah, maybe that's all I can about The Last Jedi and also before I end it, I just gotta say, the visuals in the end battle are gorgeous. Whoever did the red crystals makes the visuals of the crystals and the floor made of red crystals really makes it so beautiful and fantastic to look at. So yeah, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a fantastic film and I sure gotta get around to watching the other Star Wars films. Even though I did notice before leaving the cinema is a tribute to Carrie Fisher who died last year of a heart attack after my favourite singer George Michael on Christmas Day. So that is Star Wars: the Last Jedi and people and I can't wait for the last and final film of the Star Wars films in 2019. Stay Tuned. May the force be with you.… Expand

Why all the space fight before? Bombardment in 0 gravity? Hmm.... Turning one of the most positive character to a bitter negative old man without proper backing, who dies of exhaustion? The director is very weak in respect of character building. Ray is a master technician can repair everything, self taught jedi whos power rivals the baddie who had years of training. An all powerful flawless character is ridiculous. 10 year old kids can come up with such hero. Leia flies in 0 gravity and survives (missing jedi training again). Every baddie is neurotic. Where are the serious cool thinkers, who people can believe that they can build a serious war machine? And who is Snoke? Where was he during the original episodes and how does he ground the First Order? He is killed as an idiot nobody! How is that a couple of red guards are almost a match for 2 force users? These are all serious flows in the movie and that the director still does not comprehend what fans are talking about is the worst thing of all. This is more like Space Balls 3 than Star Wars 8.… Expand

Simply the worst star wars movie ever made :(
