Truly, truly horrible movie that fails repeatedly in almost every way. It does its utmost best to make you hate the legends you grew up with. And it fails at that, too, thankfully. Utter garbage.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No I am not a bot, and no I am not some disgruntled Star Wars fan. Instead of the media investigating if bots are to blame for low audience ratings, the media should investigate how it was able to garner such high critical praise--strong-arming? bribery? Because TLJ is a very, very bad film. And not bad in a way that can be blamed on one person's tastes compared to another, but bad in ways that are otherwise undeniable in the eyes of critics: the writing is horrendous; the plot is all over the map but somehow ends with the main characters, as well as the the rebellion and empire, in exactly the same place as the beginning of the movie--i.e. in 2.5 hours of plot hole after plot hole, NOTHING HAPPENS other than setting up for another money-grabbing sequel; all of the major story turns are repeats of the original trilogy; the themes are sophomoric even for Star Wars, especially the whole "learn from your mistakes and let them go" bit that Luke, a supposedly enlightened Jedi supremely in touch with the interconnectivity of the universe has to learn from a second-coming of Yoda. Viewers can argue about the casting (horrible), the camp humor (bad), and Star Wars nerds can argue about the director taking the franchise in a different direction, but there is no way that critics can sincerely praise this film; something else is going on.… Expand

Among the military commanders waiting to lose 90% of the troops until the great idea comes (suicide teleport? better watch the ram into Scimitar from Star Trek:Nemesis), cute animals inserted into pointless space chase, and politically correct division (one girl, one African-American, one Asian, all-female ship commanders yelling "yo pitiful male" to the only military (Poe) able to do or at least try something, and two mandatory white evil guys - too bad the older characters are already whites, so nothing to do about this...), what else remains? (Sorry, I forgot about the casino gratuitous scene and the space cow milk - wat?).

If the future is based on a former storm trooper (wonderful idea to cast John Boyega into a Waffen-SS of the future role, perfect fit, that is) that looks high-school confused all the time, a mechanic turned navigateur and second-hero-in-command, grumpy old Jedi's and stupid villains, then no thanks. I'd rather watch Cylons battling real military humans in Battlestar: Galactica - at least there is sense, seriousness and logic (at least sometimes).

Is not even abysmal. It's Disney making a movie for kids and/or mentally challenged, not sure if is a some sort of Madagascar 3 in space or so. And the future of the francise is bleak. I don't see A New Hope.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is easily the worst of the entire Star Wars franchise. It takes the decent content from The Force Awakens (Rey’s Parents, Who is Snoke, Who are the Knights of Ren…) , and promptly douses it in gasoline whilst replacing those charred remains with poorly written characters and boring story arcs.
Luke Skywalker was handled worse than imaginable and is completely contrary of his character in the Original Trilogy. Leia meanwhile felt cheaply manipulated, and dumb (Especially in a certain Mary-Poppins scene) . With Carrie Fisher sadly passing away almost a year before the film was released, you’d think it would make more sense to let her die heroically and keep Luke for the final movie, but not for Rian Johnson or Kathleen Kennedy apparently.
Meanwhile, the new characters introduced such as Rose and Holdo felt completely out of place and useless to the story. Both of them feel unneeded, and crowbarred in to fill the diversity quota whilst being unbelievable and cringy (Rose) or tactically inept and unnecessary (Holdo). Similarly, all of the characters introduced in The Force Awakens are held back by the writers.
For example; General Hux is a tactical imbecile, acting as a punchbag for low rate jokes that make him feel more like a dumb Superhero baddie for children rather than the intelligent Grand Moff Tarkin, or the intimidating General Grievous. Similarly, Captain Phasma is poorly utilised (especially considering the acting skill of Gwendoline Christine) and should have had a far more meaningful role in the story.
Rey, Poe, Finn and Kylo all feel held back from their true potential. Rey feels unstoppable; as she is constantly shown to overcome every obstacle rather than have any meaningful struggle or show character development in any form. Poe and Finn seem to be used to quick audience laughs and to have their role stolen by other characters (namely weak characters). Kylo Ren feels too unrelatable and many intriguing ideas (What if Luke turned Kylo good, but Snoke turned Rey evil?) seem to have been thrown out because the writers feel like they don’t care.
This movie is pretty, which gets it the 1/10, but its sets lack the imagination of past Star Wars’. Ahch-To is boring and could have been so much more interesting and steeped in mystery; but all we got was a bunch of stone age huts and some milk giraffes. Other sets just feel jammed into the story for no reason (Canto-Bight) or ripped without thought from previous films. The plot is as perforated as a cheese grater, as well as feeling long and braindead. Disney are using this franchise as a cash cow and are milking it drier than the Atacama.
TL;DR: If you wanted to experience what a crap fan fiction sequel of Star Wars written by a bunch of people who’ve only watched it once and see far too much through the eyes of a crazed feminazi AND you also want it to be a weak Superhero gig then this is the film for you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, for me, it is the worst Star Wars movie and it is very difficult to explain why is so bad, as Star Wars movie as movie in general (I said this, because many people think that it is a good movie but a bad Star Wars movie).

At first i´m going to start with good aspects:

-Kylo Ren evolution, but this is thanks the Adam Driver actuation
-Glass dogs
-Actuation Marck Hamill, although his script is a s**t
-Some BB8 scenes. Ok the bad:

-Boring worlds
-Bad scripts and some bad actuations
-Plot with many holes
-The worst ships in all saga (The Resistance bombers concretaly)
-Too comedy
-Soundtrack repetitive
-Special effects are good, but inferior with the before movie.
-Any memorable scene (Some people said Yoda scene, but this doesn´t have sense)
-Destroy the Star Wars Universe (The force, the ships wars....)
-Copy many scenes episodes V and VI but worse
-The Casino is a s**t it is possible that i leave more, but i don´t remember more; is a alwful movie and i can´t understand the "critics" give it tens.… Expand

The characters are a series of unlikeable buffoons, that act in such a stilted, and unrealistic manner that even 6 year old who just learned to write think this is stupid, the only two exceptions to this being a metal ball and a hairy beast, both saved by the fact that they're not subtitled and you can just imagine them cursing at the other characters.
The same goes for the rest of the movie. Story, places, background events, jokes, you name it.
The one point I gave it is for ILM which should be freed from the tyranny it lives under right now, and set onto working on good movies. That said, the effects were good, not that there was any logic to what those effects portrayed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So let's get the good out of the way first. This movie is gorgeous. I really mean drop dead, omg, praise jeebus gorgeous. The sets are amazing, the effects are stellar, and the musical score really sets the mood.

It's a very shiny veneer to cover up the dog **** plot. Whoever wrote this needs to have his writing card revoked. Seriously. Most of the plot revolves around an 18 hour stand off by which two *space ships* are trying to catch the other. The rebels are trying to flee, the order is trying to catch. They can both see each other but neither can really do more than spout platitudes. Why is it like this? Why can't one ship simply burn a bit more fuel to catch up? Why can't they hyperspace one ship ahead and set up some kind of pincer attack on the rebels? **** you that's why. The rest of the plot is patently idiotic as well. Rey and Luke kumbayaing on some distant planet but never really accomplishing anything. Finn and some diversity hire going to a casino to *save the animals man* and wasting everyone's time. I had high hopes for Kylo Ren to. After the first movie I was one of the few that really liked Adam Driver and his portrayal of Ren as a tortured soul sort of juvenile sith/jedi. In this one they just decided to make him a whiny brat. I was even more disappointed in Rey. Gone is the optimist fun loving, bright eyed Rey from the first movie. Instead we get yet another mewling and crying Katniss character to act as the *strong female lead*. I'ma close with one last criticism. Leia flies in space. Yes, superman flying in space. That happens. They had myriad ways to let Carrie Fisher die a dignified death during this cluster**** of a movie, but instead they choose to have her fly around in space. Rian Johnson, please, for the love of god, go back to shooting indie films with your boy JGL and leave the big budget stuff to people who respect the canon.… Expand

Snoke can see into Kylo's mind enough to know he will not be converted to the light, but he is unable to perceive Kylo's cheap saber turning move WTF?!?

The only reason that this movie gets even a single point is that it is a visually pleasing movie to watch. Absolutely everything else about it, however, is some combination of terrible writing, eye-rolling scenes, or illogical situations.The only reason that this movie gets even a single point is that it is a visually pleasing movie to watch. Absolutely everything else about it, however, is some combination of terrible writing, eye-rolling scenes, or illogical situations.

Let's start with the characters. Significant things or developments happen to multiple significant characters throughout this movie without an explanation or logical assumption. Character growth is virtually non-existent, where everyone seems to move/act/talk simply to create dramatic moments. I stopped counting how many times characters did not act in normal or logical ways purely to add drama and pay some sort of service to an identity or tired character trope. And finally, previously introduced characters seem to only represent their original identity by name/actor alone (with some key characters, notably Luke, inexplicably ruined).

The story is as illogical and flawed as the character development. Scenes are either fabricated purely for dramatic effect or as filler to offer some characters a modicum of utility. I cannot think of a single scene in the entire film that stands on either logic or in congruence with what we've come to know or love about the franchise...save for the odd light saber duel. There is even a solid 20-30 minutes worth of the film that could be completely removed without affecting either the rest of the movie or franchise in any tangible way (casino venture).

Where Episode VII was an obvious trip down nostalgia lane (read also: retread of original trilogy, namely episode IV) adding little to the franchise other than fan service, this one seemed to aim at pushing the franchise into isolation territory. It is a metaphorical middle finger to Star Wars lore, and only works as a film if you forget all previous films/literature and eschew logic. This film was clearly made to push the trilogy forward for the sake of selling tickets, merchandise, and virtually nothing else.

This is easily the worst Star Wars movie ever made, and given the issues with episodes I-III and lack of originality/ingenuity of VII, that's really saying something!… Expand

Perhaps the biggest tragedy of a Star Wars film to ever grace the cinema, and that's really saying something considering Attack of the Clones is a thing. Where to even begin..

I'm not about to launch into a scene by scene tirade, as manyPerhaps the biggest tragedy of a Star Wars film to ever grace the cinema, and that's really saying something considering Attack of the Clones is a thing. Where to even begin..

I'm not about to launch into a scene by scene tirade, as many fans before me have done the same in a much more eloquent fashion, but I will say this: The Last Jedi fails in EVERY aspect of good film-making. It is a beautiful looking, million dollar turd. The plot zig-zags back and forth meaninglessly, the characters, shallow, unrelatable or insane. The **** they do MAKES. NO. SENSE. NOTHING in-universe makes any sense any more. Logic is completely thrown out of the picture. TLJ embraces pure, stupid emotion resulting in:

- A laughing stock of the First Order, completely unintimidating and generally useless villains. Hux somehow hasn't been executed or at the very least relieved for his incompetence and Phasma has zero presence. She has no reason to exist other than to give Finn a shiny glorified punching bag.
- A purple haired lesbian (yes this is part of her character because reasons) admiral who spouts drivel about faith while apparently having no faith in any of her crew to tell them the plan to escape the bad guys, dooming literally all but a small handful of them to a merciless death. She utterly fails as a leader and yet the movie pretends she's the good guy all along by turning her into a kamikaze pilot in perhaps the prettiest yet dumbest scene in all of Star Wars.
- A deranged psychopath that claims fighting what you hate isn't how you win, despite earlier on her own sister doing the EXACT OPPOSITE AND WINNING, while simultaneously watching her hated enemy preparing to kill all her friends. Her enemies can do this as a DIRECT RESULT of her own actions. (How have the rebels not keeled over already with people like her and purple hair in it?! Oh, right. Incompetent villains unless when it's convenient.)
- A menacing, all-powerful antagonist who is actually neither powerful or menacing and dies in the most pathetic way possible while monologuing about how unbeatable he is
- The most uninteresting, aimless and actually all-powerful protagonist who by the word of Yoda has no need for training, trials or tribulations to succeed, she need only exist and her problems will solve themselves
- A broken, dejected cast of old, respected characters who are shown to have lost all hope and just want to die sad and alone after having turned into a complete joke of their former selves. Luke Skywalker, legendary sci-fi hero turned suicidal hermit is probably the worst offender of the bunch. Not even Mark Hamill has any interest in returning for his role after this crap.

The Last Jedi gets one point from me because there is only one thing I liked; Kylo Ren's throne room fight. Yes, the guy who has callously killed untold numbers and his own father is the only one I can root for..incredible. Unfortunately he's the only one who seems to have a pulse in this film. There is nothing else salvageable out of the nuclear crater TLJ left in its wake. In one movie Rian Johnson killed what made Star Wars. How is this possible? From the get-go, this is someone who has been quoted to say he would "be worried if everyone [thought]" the movie he made "was a good movie." He would prefer half the audience hate the movie and the other half love it and he finds this prospect "much more exciting." Despite this, Rian has deflected every piece of negative criticism on his creative 'vision' like he's the Van Gogh of Hollywood. He seriously believes The Last Jedi is excused from any critique...NONE of it is valid according to him. Is his egg-shaped head filled to the brim with that much hubris? He also apparently believes that if Empire Strikes Back came out when social media existed, it would've been roasted to hell and back because Luke Skywalker "..gets his ass handed to him." by Vader. (Only if you made it, Rian..Only if you made it.) Someone with this mindset was given "complete creative control" over the cultural juggernaut sensation that used to be Star Wars. I simply do not understand how Disney could screw up so hard. We fans are not impossible to please; Tickle our fancy right and we'd have dropped hundreds of thousands on you just like we did with George. Instead, Disney and its peons have opted to directly insult their own consumer-base for their failures, pushing for some 'toxic masculinity' or 'anti-feminist' nonsense. REAAAAALLY SMAAAART.

I no longer have hope or an interest for the future of this series. This is the last SW film I'll ever pay to see as long as Kathleen Kennedy is head of Lucasfilm. A colossal waste of talent and potential on all sides. The dream is dead, and it seems like Kylo was right all along. Time to let old things die, isn't it? Kill the past if you have to. (Ridiculous line..) I'll miss what Star Wars used to be but I've no regret over ditching this sad, soulless continuation.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved all the other movies very much and this is the worst movie of all by a million years! Here's why the 1 score;
-Luke milking an alien and drinking the green cum outta it; unecessary and disgusting, who thought of that!!?? fire him!! Its going to be the mark where the good Star Wars end!..like..''hey, you remember the **** Star Wars?...uhn the one with the alien milking scene!??'' WOWWWW that suck
-All the heroes are super weak, except Luke at this one moment. Dies in a boring way. Other heroes all fail miserably..why making a movie about it??
-This movie goes no where; nothing is explained from E7 plus you know you wont get any real or good answer later.
-Dark side isnt much dark at all and the bright side, not so good. I feel like Kylo and Ren should really work together, Kylo did save Ray!..no trust but whatever, confusing still. Bad dialogue.
-New annoying that shout and does nothing else. Jar Jar bink did have an army to fight at least and played a significant role. This is just for sale gimmik but its too much ''in your face cute so buy toys''
-Yoda set the fire to explain things to the old Jedi tree and say its stupid books...I mean is just that to learn the force!!?? They missed a huge opportunity to add depth to the Jedi training and origin...no explanation except old books. What a let down.
-Rebel star pilot dont do nothing and no mission, except Leia making him look stupid. Another let down on a hero.
-Casino scene...dont know what it brings to the movie.
-Kylo is stupid and weak and so Ray, but Snoke is the joke of the century...the 'not so great Snoke' ahhahaha

The more i thnink about it, the more it deserves a 0, but I'll give it a 1 because there is some badass effect, but Star Wars is over for me. I'll wait for better movie on Jedis and Darth whatever, but not part of this stupid story.… Expand

I tried to give Disney credit wherever it was due with my initial review (4/10), mostly due to some stellar cinematography and special effects... but I'm out now, I am completely out.

Plot holes galore, ham fisted liberal agenda moments, terrible writing and acting, the complete character assassination of Luke Skywalker, and lore-breaking scenes are just some of the topics that can be explored with no end to tear this abomination down.

Critical Fan Backlash:

The main reason I have come back to make sure this review is harshly critical, is simply because Disney has gone out of their way to blame fans for the poor reception. Rian Johnson, JJ Abrams, & Kathleen Kennedy have all come out publicly and attacked a fanbase that has absolutely loved and adored this series for years. I will not be watching Episode 9 because of this. Disney needs to face the facts, you hired a director with zero competence related to the Star Wars universe, who then pushed out a narrative that destroyed every subpar plot-line the previous instalment set up, whilst simultaneously destroying one of the most beloved movie characters of all time, and awkwardly inserting political agenda topics into a world where they do not belong or are not necessary. All this, and in turn, you attack the fans for the backlash of this movie and the failure of Solo???

I'm sorry but Disney has killed this franchise... If you are one of the people criticizing passionate fans for "crying" out, then you really have no idea how much a franchise could mean to someone. If they do not voice their displeasure with the series direction, then they are doing a disservice to themselves. I absolutely loved the original trilogy, enjoyed the prequels to an extent, and loved the older star wars video games, so it does kind of bother me to see it wind up like this... But, I can only imagine the disappointment of the more hardcore fans...

Characters:

"Out with the old, in with the new" is not supposed to be done like this... The new characters are absolutely awful and robotic, Rey is a mary sue perfectionist for no reason, she has not earned any of the traits she currently possesses and automatically excels at everything she does, Kylo is a gigantic man child and has no evil appeal to him anymore seeing as he lost to Rey in Episode 7 who has no training whatsoever, Fin had opportunities to develop but it went nowhere, Admiral Gender Wars served no purpose other than to emasculate Poe and conjure up the worst escape plan of all time, and Rose Tico contributed nothing to the story and had a sub plot take up a large chunk of the run time, and that also contributed nothing to the plot.

Old and beloved characters... Luke is the complete opposite of what made him one of the most beloved film characters of all time, instead of instilling hope and overcoming the darkness, he wants the jedi to end and be left to die after contemplating the murder of his own nephew?!? What?!?! Leia, also a beloved character from the original, is a shell of herself and floated out into the vacuum of space without dying and force-flew (breaking narratives) back into the ship?!? Again, What?!?! Carrie Fisher, tragically passed away during the filming of the movie, and you could not even send her out with an ending she deserved... Rest in peace Carrie. Chewbacca, just eats the toys Disney wants you to buy... Admiral Ackbar just goes away, hard to remember his role in the movie because it was non-existent. Leave puppet Yoda alone please.

Story:

Rian Johnson singled handedly destroyed any potential plot points that JJ Abrams set up in the first movie and created several lore breaking moments within this movie, bravo. Hyper speed suicide bombing, WW2 style bomb droppings in the gravity of space, force flying back into a ship through a broken airlock without compromising pressure whatsoever... Just a few errors, many in depth reviews on YouTube go more into depth than I ever could. In short, the story is awful, good luck with Episode 9 JJ, you have nothing to work with...

Overall:

Attacking the passionate fans that support your series to the death was the final straw for me, I do not even consider myself a hardcore fan, but seeing them get attacked by the directors/producers for voicing their opinions is absolutely immature and is appalling to see. The best thing that could happen to Star Wars is to remove everyone on the project and rebooting for 10, 11, 12, if it is not too late already. Kathleen Kennedy needs to go, and while I will acknowledge that here are "passionate fans" saying horrible things to Disney, they should know best about vocal minorities, there is simply no excuse for this behaviour. This movie is now a 1 out of 10 for me because the cinematographers and graphic designers did a phenomenal job. Rest in peace Star Wars & Luke Skywalker...… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not really a Star Wars film. There are no heroes here, or well developed villains, no cool light saber fights or amazing star battles. Even in in terms of being a regular sci-fi film there are so many questions. There are so many distracting and head scratching moments in this film - I cant believe these ideas got past storybording given the budget of this film. The director of this film shows no regard for the past of SW and no care for its future. Avoid this film if you want to keep thinking of Luke as hero rather than a coward, and Leia as a brave leader rather than a bystander. Sadly, Porgs are probably the best thing about the film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honest review: This movie is utter trash. It completely takes the concepts and plot points originally set up in the first movie and just chucks them over their shoulder. Seriously, the result of Rey holding out the light saber to Luke ends in him just chucking it away. Where to start with this steaming pile of shiet. First, Rey is apparently nobody special. Her parents were junkers who traded her for credits then drank themselves to death and are buried on Jakku in a poppers grave. Snoke is nobody special as he is easily killed by Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren. These are two things that are set up to be major plot points in the first movie that are just chucked out the window in this new movie. The whole point of the movie is killing the past and letting go of your heroes so that "new ones" can rise. **** garbage. This is just an excuse for lazy writing and a very clear "progressive" agenda. There's the scene on the Resistance capital ship where the new admiral doesn't tell Poe her plan which results in him mutinying and setting up a plan of his own that fails because Fin and his new love interest Rose (who is beautiful by feminist standards), are completely inept. Why didn't the femnazi purple haired admiral just tell Poe her plan? I mean if you are planning to stealthily abandon ship and flee to an old uncharted Rebellion base, maybe that's the kind of thing you would want to tell the crew? So that, you know, they can prepare to abandon ship? Anyway, Fin and Rose go to the casino world, complain about capitalism, get arrested, break out, free some animals but not the slave children (Like WTF! you free the freaking animals but not the SLAVE KIDS!!!), partner up with a criminal they met in prison who later betrays them (big freaking surprise). . . Absolute trash. Next up is Fin trying to nobly sacrifice his life to save the resistance only to have his life saved by the ugly chick who wants his D. What could have been a great moment about sacrifice and real heroes ends with a horrible progressive sjw bullshiet speech about how heroes are bullshiet (WTAF). Next is Rey. OMG every scene with her and Luke was cringy AF! Luke drinks green udder milk that he squeezes fresh from some kind of ugly sea cow and complains constantly. We also finally find out what happened to the new jedi order Luke tried to establish. Apparently Luke felt a darkness growing in Ben, and decided to sneak into his room late at night to try and KILL HIS NEPHEW because he was afraid that Ben would turn dark. Surprise surprise, Ben didn't react well to that, bringing the building down on them, knocking Luke unconscious, and then Ben proceeds to turn to the dark side and kill or turn the new jedi order. I mean, Luke, the guy who was willing sacrificed himself to the emperors force lightening because he had so much faith in the sliver of light in his father, Darth Vader, the most evil bad guy ever, suddenly decides to lose all faith and try to KILL HIS NEPHEW at the slightest sign of darkness? WTF! Then there was a chance for the movie to be redeemed. After Kylo kills Snoke and he and Rey kill the Red Guard together, he reaches out to Rey asking her to join him and rule beside him and she says. . . no. Of course she says no, because this is **** Disney and good guys can never be bad. . . This movie would have instantly been better if Rey had turned dark, ruled beside Kylo, and the third movie was about everyone else dealing with the fall out of that with a Rey redemption arch. Or hell, it would have been more interesting if Rey attacked Kylo for the throne, beat him and it had been Kylo/Ben who turned back to the light, joined the resistance and then had to fight to try and bring Rey back to the light. But no. Instead Kylo stays evil, Rey stays good, and the movie is all the worse off for it. Finally, that light speed crash used to destroy the first orders capital ship was freaking lore braking as all hell. I mean, if all you had to do was light speed crash a capital ship into another one to destroy it, then why didn't the rebellion do that against both death stars? I could go on and on. This movie did have potential coming off the first one, and it literally just flushed it down the toilet. There will be those who will say that this movie is the most philosophical and intellectually deep of any SW movie, and they will be full of shiet. This movie was lazily written and directed. It's clear that they decided to go in a completely different direction from what J.J. Abrams set up and did so in the most disrespectful way. This movie is literally the worst Star Wars movie of all time. No joke. The prequels were better than this, because they at least had a consistent and coherent arch. SWTLJ, has no core story, message, or purpose to even exist in the SW universe at all. It's just characters doing **** that looks cool to set up a new trilogy free from the past and it's fans. I for one am a fan who will never watch another Disney SW movie again.… Expand

The new characters are abominations. I can only presume that Disney/Lucasfilm only employ cowards or Yes Men nowadays, because that's the only explanation as to why no-one behind the scenes spoke up and pointed out to the senior people at Disney/Lucasfilm what an absolute atrocity they were creating.

They are fundamentally very similar. Both science fiction fantasies suffer from static characters meandering through uninteresting storylines encumbered by numerous plot holes that are surpassed only by the sheer amount of absolutely stunning visuals that the producers were hoping would be enough to supersede the complete lack of cinematic substance. One of these films will be remembered for all time. The other would be forgotten weeks after its release. One of these films made profitable gains after one week. The other was a financial disaster. One of them is preceded in its title by Star Wars. And that’s the only real difference.… 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

The potential of old and new characters, all to waste.. No epic Jedi training, No epic High Master Jedi Luke action (oh right we saw him milking a space cow,also we see a terrible astral projection "fight" with Kylo that brings him to death...JESUS) , terrible villain character progress(Kylo ren,no one feels scared,threatened or feared at all).. Failed attempts of humor and the usuall recycled motives and space scenes. A lot of scenes like Fin's where boring and others where totally out of star wars tone. So the result is: 1)The epic old characters are gone without grace and also without even been "used" propperly 2) The new ones are boring and hollow, some of them are gone as well allready, like Supreme leader Snoke (what a joke) 3)Forget the Jedi/Sith theme 4)There are new creatures like Porgs, so Disney can become even richer from toys to keep paying the critics and butchering every epic/historic franchise along the way.. The script was clear: Destroy star wars, any way possible..… Expand

Certain mysteries established in Force Awakens will be left permanently unsolved, while others have an anticlimactic resolution that would've been better left untouched. Excessive use of humor during serious moments fall flat and eliminate the drama of what could otherwise have been powerful scenes. Every new character doesn't contribute to the plot AT ALL, and just seem to be there to be there. Multiple plot holes are glaringly obvious, and causes a major subplot to be completely unnecessary and only seems to be an excuse to give new characters screen time. Overall, this movie feels rushed, and only released to sell toys for the holidays, and add new maps and characters to Battlefront 2.

The movie gave some great character depth to Kylo Ren and Rey, which I enjoyed. Now, one thing I hated is that they ruined the character of Luke Skywalker. I understand he's a changed man because of the events that are explained in this movie, but his actions are not like him at all. The Leia force reveal was both cool and laughably cheesy at the same time, so I don't know how I feel about that. The death of Snoke absurdly disappointing. Rey's parental reveal was a huge slap in the face to the audience and fans. The ENTIRE Finn and Rose plot should've been removed. It did nothing to further the story in any way whatsoever. If you took it out completely, not only would the plot remain unaffected, but the movie would actually be better.… Expand

One of the worst Star Wars I have ever seen. Somehow even worse than the infamous holiday special. This is a film made by a cameraman, it has cool shots and artsy camerawork. And that concludes the list of good things in this film.One of the worst Star Wars I have ever seen. Somehow even worse than the infamous holiday special. This is a film made by a cameraman, it has cool shots and artsy camerawork. And that concludes the list of good things in this film.

Fan-favourite characters are not at all themselves, Luke is like an entirely different person altogether, undermining all of the character development of the original trilogy. How does one go from "I refuse to kill my father, I am a jedi" to "Uh oh, my nephew has dark thoughts, better sneak into his hut while he's sleeping and stab him with a lightsaber."? The answer is, one does not. This movie is garbage, and the people who made it most likely haven't even watched a single star wars movie before. Every intense moment is interrupted by a bad joke, just like the intense moment of everyone who expected this film were experiencing was interrupted by the bad joke that is this film. The film features numerous plotholes, while plotlines from the previous film are thrown completely out the window. The hyped-up villain turns out to be no trouble at all. There's an entire plotline that literally ends with main characters going "welp, I guess this was all pointless, let's go back." Previously established lore is freely broken in several places, which results in the previous films all also being subjected to question on those areas. All the male characters suddenly have IQ's of 90 or below, because identity politics were more important to the filmmakers than the characters that everyone loved. And the capable characters, aka all the women involved are also completely and utterly boring mary sues, who come out of nowhere and there are no emotional ties established between them and the audience, because there is nothing relatable about any of them. People relate to characters who struggle, make mistakes and rise above themselves, not to characters that are good at everything by default. In fact everyone dislikes characters like that, because the natural reaction to someone being perfect at everything is envy. If it weren't for some nice camera shots, I would rate this movie a 0 out of 10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Terrible. The color scheme should've been darker, the dialogue was too campy, and due to those factors the movie never found its identity. This movie felt like it belonged next to the Jarjar binks disaster. I'm not sure why the little birds were included at all, Chewy was cut in for nostalgic purposes and had zero effect on the plot. Or why Leia was able to fly through space??? Are you kidding me? Or how about when Luke told Rey at the end of the first lesson that he couldn't teach her anymore and she didn't resist the dark...and then literally 2 minutes later and with no dialogue in between or forward plot movement he goes "Lesson 2...". Felt like I was taking crazy pills. The movie bounced in between terrible cheap jokes. The lone bright spot in the movie were the scenes of Rey and Rylo connecting, the suspense and tension were at their highest during those scenes. Also, why did the flying go karts need to drag an antenna on the mining planet at the end, why would that help them fly better??? So there could be more useless distracting color added to the screen? The entire scene looked like it was manaufactured for an instagram photo shoot.… Expand

rocknroll232Dec 15, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I still can't believe that the movie ended up being like this. This is just a disgrace to the Star Wars series.

Regarding main characters:

Rey is just a rehash of previously shown jedi, she has no development whatsoever. It was even worse than in Episode 7 with her force and jedi combat skills appearing out of nowhere, she is able to stay on par with Kylo Ren in his normal state after 3 (!!!) days of training.

Luke was turned into a complete moron and weakling, the plot was so badly written that they had to bring up Yoda out of nowhere to add some motivation for Luke's actions.

Snoke turned out to be...a plot device, nothing more.

Kylo Ren was exactly the same as in the 7th movie, nothing new.

Finn and Rose Fantastic Beasts-style adventure was a cringefest, it added absolutely NOTHING to the story. Trying to make drama out of Rose’ retarded actions at the end of the film was absolutely disgusting, the same can be said about classic self-sacrificial attempt out of nowhere by Finn (motivation problems?).

On top of that, half of the cast was turned into clowns with classic Disney humor. Seemed like they tried to apply MCU formula to SW universe.

Regarding everything else:

From the beginning to the end, the movie is a complete mess. Too many coincidences, too many illogical actions by the characters, abnormally high amount of explosions and cringey moments, which are supposed to be funny. None of the answers from the part 7 were answered, they were just outright ignored. The only lightsaber combat scene is devoid of any emotions or even decent choreography and looks like an overhyped stage performance. They could’ve done so much with all the material they had, but they’ve decided not to.

Part 8 shares nothing in common with either the original trilogy or even the prequels. Aspects of the universe, in which these movies exceled, are absent here altogether. However, there is nothing to compensate for that. The movie is a massive letdown, a generic blockbuster. This is by no means a Star Wars movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In basic summation- a horrible waste of potential that not only has 0 pay off from the last film+ the two year wait, but fails at actually progressing a story. Sure stuff happened in between but nothing was answered and the situation at the very start is the same as at the end. The longest film to date literally has the smallest amount of story progression and character development.
The fact that all the good parts from TFA including its mysteries and unanswered questions (snoke and rey, knights of ren? ) are thrown away after 2 minutes of screen time is disgraceful

This film has far too much time wasted on scenes with no use, the whole finn and rose storyline is shocking and it is clear there was no plan for the finn character other than to hide the fact rey was the jedi in TFA.

Other than the absolutely terrible story aspects the parts of the film meant to be entertaining were ruined by the *terrible* humour that was cringeworthy and far too frequent. It sounds like im saying this for the sake of it- but this was literally an MCU movie. guardians of the galaxy set in the star wars universe. The fact that audiences love this **** makes me quite annoyed. There are 0 stakes for the characters and in this no attachment to the characters. They are so poorly developed anyway but imagine you cared for some of them--> any time they are in danger or in harms way they just make a joke and slip away. audiences love it? its ****

There is literally more time devoted to the token asian girl saving horses than there is rey training with luke or snoke

i had this movie rated a two but have reduced it to a one thinking of the heinous leia scene.

rose is literally worse than jar jar binks.

I wanted to love this movie and i told off my friend for saying it was **** before i saw it. Wow I was wrong, rian johnson and all the critics raving about it cause it was "fun" hang your head in shame.… Expand

Really good fight scene with Rey and Kylo against the elite force (red guys) in Snokes chamber afterwards. The movie had some good parts but overall it was a train wreck of different stories jerking you back and forth. The ending was Leia escaping with Chewy and a small group of the rebels and her calling for a new beginning of the Rebels effectively ending the original star wars story, and creating a new one for children with fuzzy animals that can be sold at retailers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Obviously, I was going to watch this movie expecting the worst. It exceeded my expectations in that regard, of course. A formulaic, boring, insulting - those are the words that come to mind. In this world of heroes, or, as movie puts it, 'legends', none of the characters of the episodes 6 and 7 feel like they earned their place, power or recognition. This is now the world of Mary Sues and fan fiction level of writing.

The movie is all over the place - from cast, in which I can only remember Mark Hamill for his outstanding work (as ever), to character development, to forced jokes almost every five minutes and petty attempts at pathos, to story delivery, which, I must note, feels disjointed, weak and sometimes not fit for a feature-length movie. Speaking of which, it was obvious for me and my friend sitting beside me from very early on that the story, with the ammount of characters and sub-plots going on, would look far better if it was series - it was that hard to follow all these characters and their irrelevant struggles, which, by the way, weren't able to convience me to empathise with them.

I said above that this is now the world of Mary Sues. Nothing characters achieve is earned. It is all given to them by the all-powerful will of writers that seem onlyto be bothered by pleasing the lowest possible common denominator, which, of course, will repay their, ahem, hard work a thousand times over. The only meaningful sacrifice in the whole movie, and fatal at that, was made by, you guessed it, Luke. Of course, as with the rest of the movie and it's contrived plot twists, this sacrifice wasn't without a 'that was not expected, in a bad way' moment. But to understand what I mean by that, you'll have to watch the movie, which I absolutely can not recomend if you have any respect to the universe of Star Wars. I can hardly find a few good words to say about this movie, but there some to be said. Except I won't - so bitter is the aftertaste. Okay, okay, the effects were nice, however, that's all I can say about them - there were a plenty of hiccups. But is it enough to give this movie more than, say, 5 (as it is the average user rating at the moment of writing this)?

To sum it up, it's not a movie for a Star Wars fan, as you might have guessed already. It's a cash grab, and I regret every penny I paid for a ticket. Sadly, these was no refund.… Expand

Lifelong Star Wars fan here. Another reviewer said that watching this made her long for the prequels, and I was amazed to find that I totally agree; (extremely) flawed though those films may have been, at least Lucas had a grand vision. Here there are only fleeting glimpses of the old Star Wars magic, drowned in a stupefying story whose central crisis makes little sense and which sends the interesting characters from Force Awakens off in bizarre and pointless directions or doesn't meaningfully send them in any new direction at all. Questions raised in Force Awakens are blithely cut up and laughed at in this movie. And god, don't get me started on the downright insultingly lowbrow Marvel-esque attempts at humor. The most difficult thing to see was what was done with Luke. In an interview, Mark Hamill said his first response on reading the script was that he "fundamentally disagreed with every single choice Rian Johnson made as to Luke Skywalker." On seeing this film fans of the original trilogy will sadly learn that that wasn't just Mark making fun chit chat with the interviewer.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Have you ever wanted to watch a SJW's wet dream? Look not further! Watch... as an Asian woman smashes the glass ceiling while completing the task her male counterpart could not, pushing a giant red button on a remote keypad. Not BIG enough SJW propaganda for you? Watch... as the Asian woman's sister goes from pipe fixer to an expert in the metaphysics of hyper-space travel. But that's not all, watch said sister suddenly become an expert rider of wild animals, point out social injustice on a planet that revolves around gambling and weapon sales, and save her dopey emasculated male at the last moment from certain death because he lacks the proper genitalia to preform a heroic act.

If that isn't groundbreaking enough, how about spending sometime aboard the rebel fleet. Where Admiral Ackabar plays the male privilege card and pays the ultimate price... death. But fear not friends, there is a strong woman waiting in the wings, ready to lead and curtail alpha male Poe, whose male brain is only capable of recklessness without strong female leadership. Watch... as Poe leads the film down a pointless side story only to be emasculated from afar while watching a strong woman, who is flying a giant rebel ship completely by herself btw, teach alpha male Poe how self sacrifice and accountability really works.

After climaxing on the SJW propaganda, be sure to get your fill of corny jokes, Luke Skywalker drinking green tit juice, Luke's Marvel comic character debut with a shoulder dust off, Kylo failing miserably like every other male character in the film, and BB-8 deus machina the entire plot line that seems to have been written by a team of people who believe sexual orientation is a social construct.

I am giving it one point, because the oppressed black man actually does kill his white slave oppressor captain Phasma who happens to be female. Although this is conflicting, as it really is another SJW race card reference about Whitey keeping the black man down. Given that the character is female, I feel as though I need to give that a nod, as it could have been a straight white male.… Expand

The movie commits two of the greatest sins of Star Wars, 1. It is boring 2. It is stupid. The effects are great, the acting is solid, the plot is just slow and above else, stupid.

The effects are great, the acting is solid, the plot is just slow and above else, stupid. For example (I'll be vague to avoid spoilers) if you can blow up half of the enemy ships by doing a certain act, why don't you do it at the start of the event? This happens over and over again. The saddest part of this is that it will make a ton of money, and they will do a sequel. The worst part about it is that the director was green lit for 3 other Star Wars movies. He needs to stop. Now. All the good will from Rouge 1 is gone.… Expand

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

This felt like 15 movies crammed in one with absolutely no substance to it or purpose. Pros: the pokemons Cons: Cheesy as hell, and well pretty much the whole movie.

The wonderful spirit of star wars was thrown away, the magic of star wars was sacrificed for an absolute ridiculous, unworthy, bizarre, grotesque, embarassing and stupid plot. That was no courage to steer star wars into a new direction, it was an act that showed an absolute lack of respect for true star wars fans. You will fail!… Expand

Worst Star Wars movie I have ever seen! I just cannot get past how bad this movie was for the Star Wars franchise. I have watched them all and own them too and this is the first time I have ever thought about giving up on Star Wars. The onlyWorst Star Wars movie I have ever seen! I just cannot get past how bad this movie was for the Star Wars franchise. I have watched them all and own them too and this is the first time I have ever thought about giving up on Star Wars. The only positive I can come up with is that there are some stunning beautiful scenes as far as visuals, but the rest of the movie is really bad. I just do not unspderstand these positive reviews. If you are a Star Wars fan and know anything about the characters and universe I don't see how you would like or enjoy this movie. What they have done to Luke and his character is a travesty!… Expand

This movie is a joke. A complete insult to newcomers and especially to long time fans. The lore is officially dead. Luke's character is an embarrassment to the original trilogy, Disney should be ashamed.

What has started really promising with TFA has been crushed completely within 152 min. Not just TFA was thrown into the garbage bin, but also the entire Star Wars legacy... What really makes me angry is that despite of the prequels, which weren't surely a highlight, it seems Rian Johnson did this with full intention. When George Lucas did the prequels he didn't knew better, but he tried as best a possible. Sure he failed in the end, but I cannot blame someone that really gave his best. Rian and surely Disney instead pissed on everything that has been created before. Just remember this magic moment at the end of TFA, when Ray meets Luke for the first time. If you have seen TLJ already you know what Mr. Johnson did with this wonderful scene ... Absolutely no respect for the work J.J. did with TFA. Also Rian continues to hype the question about Ray's parents in one scene of TLJ to the max. just to give the most unsatisfying answer later on. I could continue how Rian treated the Character of Luke, but I think it's all been said. For me personally the worst and disrespectful Star Wars ever made and the worst Movie experience so far. A complete letdown ... Please help us Mr. Abrams you are our only hope !!!… Expand

The best that can be said of Episode VIII, Star Wars The Plot-hole Awakens, is that Red Letter Media will definitely have fodder for another Mr Plinkett review.

This film will have you leaving the cinema saying...huh? ... what?The best that can be said of Episode VIII, Star Wars The Plot-hole Awakens, is that Red Letter Media will definitely have fodder for another Mr Plinkett review.

Congratulations Dinsey, you've committed the slowest, longest, most boring chase sequence to film. What an achievement!

There are no satisfying conclusions to anything. Every question you had is swept aside. Who's Snoke? Who cares say Disney. Who are Rey's parents? Who cares What happened to Phasma after giving up the death star codes to Finn, resulting in its destruction? Who cares. How did Kylo escape the death star? Who cares.

The chase sequence is mind-bendingly dim. You're told a bunch of nonsense 'we must do... because..." lines by characters to wedge something totally nonsensical into something representing a plausible situation.

Spoiler of the most major plot hole below

So they're running out of fuel and about to get blatted by Snoke's star destroyer. In order to escape they decide to hack the star destroyer. In order to do this Finn travels to a casino on a distant planet to find a hacker. Wait? Doesn't that mean they have a way of escaping? AAAAAGGGHHH! Why is it all so stupid! Hardly anything makes sense under even the most minimal of scrutiny. Did you think we wouldn't notice the idiocy Disney?

The nail in the coffin for this film was turning our beloved Luke into a doosh. All that magic and hope at the end of ROTJ. Dead.

We keep being told about a story about Luke and the Knights of Ren - A much more interesting story than the one we're watching. How about making that film? At least it might make me believe Luke could become such a spanner. Luke's ending was sad, and not in a good way. It felt pointless. This could have been made a million times better with a few very simple changes.

The more I think about The Plot-hole Awakens, the worse it gets. Oh, and no, it's not funny despite thinking it is.… Expand
