To start this film looks beautiful, and the actors tried they're best, But does not save this film. - Luke skywakers character has been dumb down to an old man, who say get off my lawn

- canto bright scene really has no point it is filler -
To start this film looks beautiful, and the actors tried they're best, But does not save this film. - Luke skywakers character has been dumb down to an old man, who say get off my lawn

- canto bright scene really has no point it is filler

- Lots of SJW stuff shoved down and it makes no sense in Star Wars

-The story set up in Ep.7 has really gone no where, -lots of plot holes bigger than a crater - it turns a lot of characters(Heroes) into horrible people

Just to name a few things. This movie has destroyed Star wars and its fan base. I hope they can save star wars after this film.

This is the worst movie ever made for the starwars franchise. Every one involved in that movie except Mark Hamill should be ashamed of themselves, they literally are ruining the fabrics of society with their absurd sjw pushed agenda.

It's as if they are seeking to have humans hate each other and put them in a state of civil animosity. This movie is pure garbage that destroy and humiliates beloved/established characters by replacing them with unlikable characters that have no story to back anything in what they can acheive.

Kathleen Kennedy is the worst of the worst and she placed the worst trolls of all time to direct this movie by obviously spitting on George Lucas hard work.

This is outrageous. Anyone who likes this movie is absolutely nuts and should do an immediate introspection.

Action scenes are unbelievably bad and nonsensical (look for characters throwing away their weapons). The whole clown fiesta is topped off by more plot holes than I have ever seen in a movie before. This is without a doubt the worst SW movie ever made, and if the world was a fair place, Rian Johnson would never be hired to direct another movie ever again. If you haven't seen this yet, don't waste your time. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was awful but not for the general reasons involving wokeness and current year patriarchy bashing nonsense. This movie was bad because of the leadership both in the production and in the characters in the movie. Everyone involved in the writing process is out shopping. it is painfully obvious nobody in this generation was involved in any actual real world military. If we reduce the space opera to a World War Two Admiralty scenario, we can use the following parallel: Imagine you are a Navy Admiral in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack. In stead of regrouping and reforming for a plan, you gather all the allied forces and retreat. Your Wing Commander wants to make a retaliatory strike, but instead of sending the proper tools for the job, you send the wrong aircraft and smaller boats and sacrifice all of them. You have a plan but you never inform your upper echelon and higher command structure. You continue to deuce out. You just run. Japan’s fleet is chasing after you and the remainder of you forces. Japan’s fleet is picking off your ships one at a time. Your Wing commander on the largest carrier comes to you and states he and the Air Wing can hold off and even destroy Japan’s ships with high altitude low risk bombing runs. If they cannot do this, they could at least kamikaze themselves and buy some time or at least cripple the enemy. YOU as the Admiral say “nah”. No explanation of why, because there could be spies around. YOU as the Admiral ignore the situation and just want everyone to stand in awe of your military tactical prowess by NOT telling your upper echelon and ENTIRE LEADERSHIP the plan and course of retaliation other than to high tail it to Sacramento or San Francisco. YOU as the Admiral share another plan to just stay the course and basically escort Japan’s fleet to mainland United States. You as the Admiral do absolutely nothing and take offense when someone takes initiative. You, as the Admiral, have your Fleet Wing Commander charged with mutiny when he decides to do his duty and his job by fighting the enemy. You do not fight, you do not attack, you do not bargain or surrender, you just stay the course. Then, 3 miles off the coast of California, you alone jump in a submarine and torpedo the enemy vessel. The attack was successful and the dreadnought was crippled, but now the enemy fleet is close enough to land. Japan makes a beachhead and commit to an invasion of California. Now the fleet is without leadership and the war was pulled to mainland US. Good job. You could have done this the whole time, or even remote controlled it into a guided weapon while both fleets were still in Southeast Asia or at the very least, torpedoed the ever loving crap out of the pursuing ships. Instead your incompetence and poor leadership led Japan to invade San Diego and take Temecula and Escondido. The remnants of the American fleet continue to retreat along with the rest of American forces back to the Rocky Mountains waiting for reinforcements from Kansas and Oklahoma. You have lost the war. Half of this movie has a side story where a whinny PFC begs General Patton to lead and then returns alone to Mary Sue leadership of the American Fleet. Two other equally whinny but hubris filled sailors attempt to find General MacArthur but their attempt fails too. Instead they found Bing Crosby and they return empty handed. Nothing they did had any impact on the outcome of the war. They wasted time and resources and everyone’s patience. The movie ends with reinforcements graduating boot camp as a Three Star General. This movie sucks. There was no point to any of this lazy writing and it is indicative of a generation and culture who has seen war on TV but never been to a war or had the threat of war in their neighborhood. Thank you for ruining Star Wars, Pumpkin-head and Hubris Medusa. Expand

As the second installment in a trilogy tasked with moving pieces into place for an epic finale, TLJ fails. As a direct sequel to The Force Awakens, tasked with continuing the character, plot, and development threads, TLJ fails. The dialogueAs the second installment in a trilogy tasked with moving pieces into place for an epic finale, TLJ fails. As a direct sequel to The Force Awakens, tasked with continuing the character, plot, and development threads, TLJ fails. The dialogue needs work, but what Star Wars movie can't claim that? The color palette is lacking. The characters feel flat and forced into place for whatever scene the writer decided he wanted to have in his big epic movie. Character choices and motivations make no sense. Tonally dissonant from one moment to the next. Fight scenes poorly shot and choreographed (the throne room scene is a particularly blatant example. if you need to have a full weapon digitally edited out of someone's hand, otherwise they would have murdered your heroine, then it's not well-done). The characters you enjoyed from TFA feel off-brand. The movie seems to go out of its way to tell you and the in-universe characters that you were stupid for expecting Star Wars to feel like Star Wars-- in how things work, in slim chances succeeding. Except, of course, when they do happen the way you expected half a film ago, true to formula, ultimately leaving your heroes in an even worse position than when they ended the last movie. The moral lessons make no sense and are all over the place. Characters and talented cast are wasted. It's lackluster and frankly mediocre in most ways. Finn is selfish and a coward for not wanting to jump all-in for a cause for another army (after being raised abused by another army that didn't even let him have a name and wanted him to be willing cannon fodder), except then the person who berated him for that decides that he's wrong for trying to sacrifice himself for the cause later on. Poe is wrong for the mutiny and being upset with Holdo, but Holdo didn't tell anybody in the entire Resistance they even had a real plan with a chance of succeeding, ultimately leading to the failure of the plan she had. Rey trusting Kylo Ren and confiding in him comes with no realistic buildup whatsoever. I still can't wrap my head around it. You care about Snoke and his origin/motivations? Want to learn really anything interesting or new about the First Order? Too bad. Expectations subverted. "Free the racing animals, but not the slave children." - The Last Jedi's inherent problem in a nutshell.

The pacing drags. Most of the deleted scenes would have been better off in the actual product. But I guess they really needed that milk scene and shirtless Kylo Ren scene? At the very base level when I go into a Star Wars film, I expect to have fun. This movie is not fun. I have not rewatched it but once since it came out, and if my sister hadn't asked, I wouldn't have watched the second time at all. I cannot enjoy this movie. And god help me, I tried to.

There are one or two interesting concepts, which were poorly executed. And one very breathtaking shot at the climax of the film (which takes place 40 minutes before the film even ends, so consider that). The actors are all clearly doing the best they can with what they're given, and they are ALL talented. Kelly Marie Tran is a welcome addition to this franchise! I hope the next movie has her character make sense and stay true to what all the additional canon information told us about her.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh boy what a terrible movie. The whole part about the rebellion trying to escape makes no sense because it goes over 3 days. The shields would bever had lasted that long. Oh but ofc, the novelisation says it's a new prototype because the somehow have to fix their mess, right? Now they just have a shield that last 30 times longer. Way to many new, unlikeable, boring characters, no continuity about rey as character, snoke is really wack and it should've been a lot more about him. I get that Kylo was supposed to be the main villain but tros totally ignores that and brings Palpatine back so there's no continuity and luke's character is totally out of place as it ruins his ending in rotj and ruins his destiny to build up the new jedi order as true peacekeepers. The only good things about this movie is the acting, the music and porgs. Expand

This is hands down the worst Star wars movie made. there are countless plot holes and MARYSUEEEEEEEEEEE (Ray is invincible and "perfect") it is just disgusting horrible excuse for what was an amazing franchise i will always see this movie as the worst unless the sequel somehow manages to be even worse. the worst plot holes (flying a starship at light speed into the largest fleet vessel the empire has ever had and somehow destroying it and most of the fleet, *if this is the case they could literally build ships to destroy the deathstar in the first SW.* Luke somehow not seeing a glimpse of hope in his grandson and not caring about anything going on in the galaxy, literally the antithesis of his original character... and he can somehow become a force ghost on command now, Ray gets a triple kill with one shot from inside the cannons of the Millennium falcon with no prior use of them. Ray somehow single-handedly defeats one of the most powerful sith lords at this time in a "mind force battle" because she's "A STRONG WOMAN GET OVER IT".) looks graphically good that is why 1 point. those are a few and i could go on but it would be a waste of time, **** this movie.

If Poe is one of the high commanders and best pilot, you would tell your high ranking officer the plan.

That makes no sense not too, only for the writers to make the long and useless plot that wasted half the movie with. The character development and the plot fell flat. I was hugely disappointed in an entirety. Every build up The Force Awakens build up, this movie destroyed. And then the one scene that was incredible cringe. Flying through space. You all know the scene. That was just. Bad.

The bigger sin was that Disney did not have a story arc. What they had was a desire to milk nostalgia, destroy it on the altar of their politics, and ruin the story arc from the first 6 movies. Real bravery would have involved a whole new story in the universe, not raiding the old for a quick cash grab. Space Balls had more respect.

By the way, Disney did not introduce Strong female characters. It did introduce the idea that strong female characters can only be strong at the expense of others. Well done Disney.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This trilogy is just feminist and SJW propaganda at it's finest. I think the actors did a good job, specially Adam Driver, but they can't save the mess. I like Daisy Ridley as Rey, too bad she plays the stereotypical and generic strong female protagonist (Mary Sue) with no development or weaknesses, just innately the best at everything. Then we have the multicultural and inclusive good guys, that fulfill every quota, against the evil white males. Action scenes are good if you can ignore the many cliches and deus ex machina that take away all tension.

This movie is an example of being capable of the best and also the absolute worst. The final Luke moment is one of my favourite Star Wars scenes, but then we have the blatantly filler Finn and Rose adventure. While I don't think the plot decisions were necessarily bad, the change of directors made the trilogy lose all sense of direction.

So this is how star wars dies... with thunderous applause. This is a beautiful looking disaster of a movie that takes a universe crafted over 7 films and breaks the heart and soul to remake the universe in some new perverted image.

It is not even about contrivance. It is in fact more of an utter incoherence. The plot hardly exist at all because each scenes either has no contribution at all towards the overall build up or tells a completely irrelevant topic of its own. If you have to watch this film, for some unfortunate reason, I would opine that the best way to watch it, is to only watch the last 20 minutes or so, because that is the only part where something meaningful happens.

Rian can go vigorously milk some other franchise. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Aside from the visuals this movie was trash. The director appeared to just want to shock people by destroying all that was set up in episode 7, and by doing so he made an unfixable mess. True fans hate it and critics and woke journalists love it, that pretty much sums it up. I wish people would leave their politics out of our games and movies. We waited decades to see our hero eventually turn into a pathetic husk. At least the mandalorian is beginning to set things right. Expand

The main story line has the good guy fleet being chased by the bad guy fleet. The bad guys cannot catch up with the good guys but the good guys are running out of fuel. Meanwhile, a group of good guys is able to fly off to another planet, do some silly stuff there, and return and catch up with the bad guys. The film is just schlock stiched together to grab money from those who will see anything with "Star Wars" on it.

(I was going to give this film a slightly higher score because I did not want to be over-the-type review bomber but, as I went through it again and recited its end-to-end stupidity, it I realized I was being too generous.)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really wanted to like this movie...I was willing to give TFA a bit of a pass as they were trying to bridge the OT to the ST, there needs to be some intrigue, mystery, etc. And there are some beautifully shot moments in the film. But that's where it ends. The plot makes little to no sense at all in any way whatsoever. Space Gas is the core of the issues here. Somehow the Giant spaceships can't keep up with the rebel ships. But Kylo's fighters can...so why not just send out more fighters? or do you only have 3-5 on the capital ship? The Holdo Maneuver...Looked cool, but so impractical. If that was a real thing, then why just let the rest of your ships just run out of gas and fall to the side? why not just suicide them as well? Why not put a droid in there and have it kamikaze? why not put boosters on giant asteroids and then have droids fly them into the enemies? Luke....oh Luke...The ever present optimist turned into...well, this. They couldn't have ruined Luke's character anymore than they did here. Even Hamill said this isn't how Luke would act but they told him to shut up and color. I don't believe Luke would ever have acted on his thoughts.

Any military leader of any kind would have to disclose their plan of some sort rather than keep it a secret and continue to tell everyone riddles and lines from hallmark cards. Even a 2 second throw away line of "there are imperial spies" would have at least given them some sort of reason for not disclosing the plan all at once. But that's what compartmentalization is for - no one person has all the data except top brass. and last I checked, Commander Poe is only 2 away from admiral and is supposed to be the celebrated hero and best pilot of the resistance (by their own words and lore). but no...he's obviously not trustworthy.

The entire kanto bite scene was unnecessary and silly. screw the shield and stuff, let's rescue the space horses. oh, and we got found out because we parked in the wrong spot? I get what they were trying to say: arms dealers profit off the rebels and imperials the same. War is a business, etc. But it landed with a thud because it was just another punchline. Snoke - no one knows or cares about Snoke cuz he died. Mystery over. he's obviously not important. Big bad over. Finn was easily possibly the most interesting character. He could have talked about the millions of innocent contractors and admin staff just working to make a living for their families. He could have talked about his best friend that died and shook him from his "programming" but instead, he was turned into a punchline/joke. This was just written tying up all the loose ends and wound up ruining the next movie and franchise in general. "Subversion" is just a new buzz word to shield people from failure. This was a multibillion dollar franchise that printed money. Fans were relatively forgiving - look at the PT - it aged well overall with people liking the Clone Wars material. Whatever...I've seen the movie twice and not since it's release week. Meanwhile, I watch episodes 1-6 every year in May. Good job Johnson - you're obviously a master.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars is dead... Disney has killed it. I didn't think it was even possible to make Star wars Films worse then Episodes 1-3. This film makes Episodes 1-3 seem like master pieces. Lets start with the characters. They all suck and not one of them is likeable. Rey is a annoying Mary Sue, Finn who was the only likeable character in Force awakens is now a bore, Rose is annoying and the actor who plays her sucks at acting, Po is a tool, Kylo is a pathetic Villian and is more of a whiny pathetic beta cuck. Nothing about him feels threatening. When you are coming off of great Villians like Darth Vader, Darth Maul, and The Emperor. Then Poor Luke Skywalker oh dear god what have they done to you. A once great Jedi is now reduced to a pathetic whiny old man. The story is pure crap. Nothing about this Movie is fun like the older Star Wars films. Then they kill Luke with a moronic death scene. The running theme of this movie is kill off the every thing that is old and great about Star Wars and make way for the new. If this is the New Star Wars, Then just let it die now. In fact Kylo even says this.

Its over people. Star Wars is dead. This film was so damned bad that i cant even go back and watch Episodes 4-6 any more. Maybe in 10-15 years if i can hopefully forget every thing about this movie and the last 2 i might be able to go back and enjoy them. There is no way they can fix this in the next movie... Nothing at all. The best they might be able to do is stop making any more Star Wars movies for 5+ years and make sure who was ever involved with these abominations is never allowed near these movies and get some Talanted writers and Directors and try again from scratch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first Star Wars film to not only disappoint me, but leave me feeling deeply troubled for the future of the series. Everything feels shallow and calculated to generate headlines, from Laura Dern's token LGBT hero (who has zero personality, replaces Leia for a good chunk of the film for no good reason, and has obnoxiously dyed purple hair--a lesbian stereotype that has no place in a galaxy far, far away), to Snoke and Luke's premature deaths. If Rian Johnson wanted to divide fans, he succeeded, but at the cost of every woman and man who grew up hoping to see the day that the Luke Skywalker they knew and loved would return to the silver screen. Not even Rey comes out of this film unscathed; for all the flashy action scenes she and her adversary Kylo Ren get, there's no real character development. She's still very much the flawless Mary Sue that detractors of the previous film accused her of being: a natural-born Jedi who doesn't need training, doesn't even need to be taught the ways of the Force. A so-called feminist icon who isn't on track to be half the hero Luke ever was and there's only one film left to tell her story.

Bottom line: I'm not going to see the Solo movie. I may not even see Episode IX. George Lucas made the mistake of his life selling Star Wars to Disney, and I sincerely hope that they take the sheer number of bad moviegoer reviews this movie is getting to heart.

The Disneyfication of the franchise has taken away so much of what made it special in the first place. And dare I say it, but imho TLJ is now the worst SW flim of all time. Even below ep 1,2,3.

Characters with no depth
A Director with no knowledge of the franchise.
A forgettable, nearly laughable villian in Kylo Ren
The Disneyfication of the First Order.
A plethora of really really bad young actors overacting to a huge degree. I'm looking at you Rey/Finn/Poe. The three of you might be fine in the three stooges but in SWs......
And the **** is Rose doing? The lame gags and infantile humour might belong in a kids version of SW or the cartoons, but it has no place here.

I just get the feeling Disney went with a bunch of young bad actors so that they could keep the fees low and squeeze the Franchise for all it's worth since the kids will be around longer and can be spun off into more side stories.

TLJ felt less like a Star Wars Episode and more like a marketing movie for Star Wars written by big data analytics to pander to as many market segments as possible without actually delivering anything of substance.

Well done Disney. I must say that you have hit a brand new depth of low when you make me pine for George Lucas and I hated episode 2.

It is so shallow, how can the writers actually think that we are going to buy it's poorly conceived and related nihilistic philosophy? I mean honestly Kung Fu Panda has much much more internal cohesion and real philosophy/mysticism than The Last Jedi. Sad.

If this had been a standalone release of "Generic hero has space fun", it might have been ok, but as is, it thoughtlessly destroys too much in terms if hopes and dreams.

The actual bad:
* physics, engineering, strategy and tactics get very little respect (bomb dropping in space, vacuums not sucking out air, outrunning explosions, planets are more like suburbs, the usual space noise, dragging canons around and very story-telling motivated shooting)
* the whole casino subplot makes little sense and would have better been removed
* one very cringy not-quite sacrifice scene that's completely unnecessary from beginning to end
* overall specific personages are considered way too important, as opposed to circumstances (you have to talk with just this one person so that they can point you to that one person in the universe who could do a specific thing and fetch them, well, here we are with a handful of people left and that'll make all the difference to ... a galaxy)
* the force is now something that doesn't require any training but just is inate
* the first order is militarily pretty laughable, as just one guy in a crappy old fighter can hold off an entire fleet of dreadnoughts, and they can't possibly think of using their fuel advantage to jump ahead and exhaust their opponent, or maybe use those fighters - if you make your villains laughable, it invalidates the heroes

The good:
* some genuine surprises
* some amusing and well written humour ("The force!")
* great photography and score
* awesome acting by Hamill and Driver
* great job on having significant numbers of women in very visible roles making actual decisions
* good casting of real faces (as opposed to extreme beauty)
* franchise tie in animals aren't cringy

Advice to disney:
* make sure your writing teams include people who ask critical questions and use the to eliminate senseless parts of the plot
* reboot the franchise completely with the next movie, maybe explore some of the rich background material that is part of the star wars canon. Worth considering to drop the new universe right here and start making movies out of the books?
* why on earth would you buy a franchise that you can monetize once a year only to reboot and risk losing it completely?!

Movie could have been great but the sjw code of doing business in both the comic industry and the star wars film series seems to be: "Kill off everything beloved by fans and replace it all with our roster of **** characters." Only bright sideMovie could have been great but the sjw code of doing business in both the comic industry and the star wars film series seems to be: "Kill off everything beloved by fans and replace it all with our roster of **** characters." Only bright side to this is I no longer want or have a reason to see episode 9. Thanks for saving me some money Disney. Expand

The movie that ruined Star Wars! If you want to know how to ruin the plot and characters already established in previous movie, watch this movie. It should also be called "how to ruin a character that got popular i the previous movie" andThe movie that ruined Star Wars! If you want to know how to ruin the plot and characters already established in previous movie, watch this movie. It should also be called "how to ruin a character that got popular i the previous movie" and "how to make a movie where 90% is pointless". You can literally cut out 90% of this movie and get everything important.
This is without a doubt the worst movie in the series.

Fantastic visuals and that's about it. Out of place popular politics shoved down the throat(I watch movies to get to take a break/get away from this! lol),poorly timed humor, badly written jokes. The latest starwars movies seemed to missingFantastic visuals and that's about it. Out of place popular politics shoved down the throat(I watch movies to get to take a break/get away from this! lol),poorly timed humor, badly written jokes. The latest starwars movies seemed to missing some of the core philosophy's that built the series. Lastly the lack of story was very disconnected and poorly written.... Its the first star-wars movie I found boring and found myself praying for it to end. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Utter blasphemy to the Star Wars Universe. Who wrote this sacrilege? This movie was made for the mainstream and not Star Wars Fans. An entire generation of the Best fans in the world ignored and insulted. Total disrespect for for the Great George Lucas and his vision. Totally forgotten and misused are the originals and prequels, which are now some kind of legend. I am completely saddened at the direction the once Great franchise has taken. Obviously these critics have no knowledge or idea of what Star Wars is or was. Long live the Jedi and Sith. Expand

What the hell did I watch ?

After an excellent Episode 7 directed by JJ Abrams we get something that feels like a Michael Bay movie for kids with a plot that has more holes than a swiss cheese. The writing and direction is abyssmal, there
What the hell did I watch ?

After an excellent Episode 7 directed by JJ Abrams we get something that feels like a Michael Bay movie for kids with a plot that has more holes than a swiss cheese.

The writing and direction is abyssmal, there is so much wasted potential here. Even though the last 30% of the movie were good, this doesn't make up for 70% of the movie being trash and an insult to every intelligent viewer.

Stars Wars is dead. Disney and Hollywood have absolutely ruined this. The stupidity of those in charge of making this film in the way they have is astounding; the movie and the franchise is ruined by contemporary cultural politics. Two words:Stars Wars is dead.

Bad plot, bad characters. But worst of all the ruined Skywalkers character. Why is it necessary to depict the old heroes as total failures in every regard in the new trilogy? Retroactively destroying their happy end is really sad. Han andBad plot, bad characters. But worst of all the ruined Skywalkers character. Why is it necessary to depict the old heroes as total failures in every regard in the new trilogy? Retroactively destroying their happy end is really sad. Han and Leia a failure as a romantic couple and an epic failure as parents. Luke a selfish, pathetic depressed wimp, and potential kinslayer who want's to burn down everything he's believed in and basically hand the galaxy over to the sith. 1 Star because i really loved the porgs and Chewbacca. Also the crystal foxes were cool. My girl loved them and the free-the-animals story arc :-D Expand
