This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Dear Rian, please DO learn from your mistakes if you're going to inflict a whole trilogy upon us after this mess!"
For the record, I rather like Rian as a director and as a human being. But this movie is an abomination. If it were totally standalone, it would be an average kind-of-enjoyable thing with many plotholes. But like this...it destroys the mythology, and offers nothing except meh-meh to replace what it destroyed. I WANTED to be surprised, but not in such a way that the surprises all ring hollow and/or unconvincing.
Let's see why...
Luke contemplating killing Kylo...nope. This happens to be a personal obsession of Rian's - "if you met Hitler while still a kid, would you kill him?" Check out his movie Looper for proof of this. And it could have been convincingly placed in this mythology...only it isn't. Something like that has to be earned, not shoehorned in. And yeah, it does character-assassinate Luke, this is simply not him, not even if he changed. An example (only one of the possible ways this could have been made convincing, and no it wasn't my idea to start with, got it from someone on the Net): if Ben/Kylo and all or most of Luke's students got converted by Snoke and rebelled, Luke may have been forced to kill them while crying, then could not bring himself to kill his own nephew. This WOULD have ****** him up to such a degree that he may have been the Luke we see in the movie. But not sensing unspecified darkness within Kylo, that just does not cut it from the same person who almost sacrificed himself to turn Vader. Oh, and it would have plugged the gaping "where the hell are the Knights of Ren" plothole quite neatly to boot. Not to mention paralleled both Anakin's slaughter of the younglings, AND Palpatine's making short work of everyone except Mace Windu in the prequels. A Luke to whom this happened would have cut himself from the Force - as he would no longer know just what the difference was between him and Vader/Palpatine. The way it's shown in the movie...what would be Luke's first natural reaction after the Kylo situation happened? Well, to talk it over with Yoda and Kenobi's ghosts. And how did he "cut himself off from the Force" anyway? Kylo would not think he was dead, because he would have felt it...aaargh!!!!!

Space Leia...oh dearydear...not only does she save herself, she apparently also Force-reconstructs the Mon Calamari cruiser's bridge, since it seems rather intact later in the movie...'nuff said. RIP Carrie, you deserved a much better sendoff...

Rose - yeah, annoying, but don't bash the actress for that - ain't her fault. Snoke, we hardly knew ye...yeah, we did not know much about Palpatine in the OT either...but we did not need to, McDiarmid based his performance there on the figure of Death from Ingmar Bergman's Seventh Seal...and that worked very well. In the PT, it did not - and one of the major problems there was that the characters - Padme, Palpatine etc. - seemed to be pulled out of thin air with no backstory whatsoever. The only thing we learn about Snoke is that he dresses like the late Hugh Hefner, and is apparently physically based on the WW2 SS-general Ernst Kaltenbrunner. As to how exactly he would turn anyone to the dark side, can't see it at all.

Hyperspace tracking a new tech? And pray, how exactly did the first Death Star, or Boba Fett for that matter, track the Falcon? Or how did Obi-Wan track Jango in the PT? Through non-hyperspace? Could have pulled out of that hole by claiming that it used to require a physical tracking device to be onboard - this could even have provided a kind of reason why Holdo does not tell Poe what her plan is...paranoia and fear of FO spies (though it would still be daft that she does not tell this to the guy who just blew up that dreadnought, at least in private).

Crait...far as I remember, in ESB, the only reason why the Empire did not bomb the Hoth base back to Stone Age was that it has a force field...the Crait base has none, so no reason at all for the walkers 'cept that they look cool...or maybe the FO forgot to include TIE Bombers among their gear...

Hyperspace kamikaze stuff...oh yeah, but that makes all spaceships/Deathstars automatically obsolete. Plus the fact that they had to invent Holdo to do it (and do it way too late btw) since Ackbar has an Arab-derived name so the implications would be, oh dearydear...

Feminazi stuff...I don't mind feminism at all (have 2 beloved daughters), but this got turned into such men-are-stupid-cuz-they-are-but-women-rock-cuz-they-are overkill that it provokes an opposite reaction...in a perverse way, this movie is Steve Bannon's wet dream, and I sure don't feel comfortable with anyone giving THAT guy wet dreams. I half expected Rey to tell Kylo: "You're only jealous cuz I'm an actual woman, and you need to grow your hair long & act hysterical!"

Mary Sue Rey - others have written enough about this.

What a royal mess of a story. Continuity DOES matter.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought Force Awakens was decent if obnoxiously derivative, but now they went and did it AGAIN. So the Rebellion is fleeing the Empire after a devastating attack, while their one Jedi trainee has flown off to train with a wise old master. Where have I seen that before? Meanwhile some of the heroes go to a fancy installation to find someone to help them, who winds up betraying them? Then there's a throne room confrontation almost just like the one from RotJ except it's got some stiff and awkward lightsaber chop socky (trust me, I watch a ton of action movies, this scene will not hold up to repeat viewing, there are fan-made lightsaber fights that are way more intense and dramatic)?

Disney clearly has ZERO ideas of what to do here except completely rehash the original movies while stuffing affirmative action roles down everyone's throats. They have officially made a trilogy EVEN WORSE than the prequels.

It's mildly amusing in the moment, but these movies are going to be dated as heck and totally unwatchable within a couple years (unlike the originals, which are timeless). Basically DisneyUgh. Way too much flippant humor. Way too self-aware. It's mildly amusing in the moment, but these movies are going to be dated as heck and totally unwatchable within a couple years (unlike the originals, which are timeless). Basically Disney has turned Star Wars into Marvel, where the real point is watching the characters banter with each other and tease us with will-he/won't-he soap opera shenanigans. If this had been a new series I'd be more forgiving, but since they are trying to pass this tripe off as STAR WARS I have no choice but to call it out for being the cheap, phony, cynical cash-in it clearly is.

Also: people were laughing their butts off when Carrie Poppins when zooming through space without a space suit!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. That's it, I'm out, I'm done. I will NEVER forgive Disney for what they've done to this series. Even the prequels didn't wreck the Star Wars universe as much as this did, and at least they weren't just a totally cynical excuse to stuff money down Mickey Mouse's pants. Crabby old hobo Luke throwing his beloved father's lightsaber away like a piece of trash? Superman Leia flying through the vacuum of space? It was cringey and totally disrespectful of the original trilogy. Would give it a negative vote if I could. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is without a doubt one of the worst movies i have ever seen. The story is non existent. If you look at the beginning and the end of the movie the only difference is that Luke and Snoke died. Literally nothing has happened. The movie has 0 character development. Rey is the most boring protagonist in the history of cinema. Finn and Rose are on completely irrelevant sub-plot that does nothing for the movie. This movies is a complete **** with the only decent things being the music and a couple of special effect.

And thanks to disney for **** PORGS that add nothing to the movie other then to sell some **** toys. Unbelievable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow. Where to begin. Ok, first up. The script is bad. Not just on a technical level (I'm a writer, and it is, it realy realy is), but also because Rian Johnson seems not to like Star Wars. The dialogue is atrocious, and makes the cardinal error of spelling out everything that is happening. This is screenwriting 101. The tone is just OFF. It isn't Star Wars. There are tonal lurches all over the place. Bad humour. No sense of jeopardy. Idioms from the real world circa 2010-2020. The source of tension was so ridiculously contrived as to be non existent. The thing that realy makes this hurt even more, is that a lot of good ground work had been done beforehand with the Force Awakens, which wasn't perfect but gave us a nice set up. Rian purposefully throws it all in the bin (when he isn't aiming jibes at Star Wars fans). I also thought Rogue One was pretty excellent. You managed to tease me in to thinking it was possible to get semi decent new Star Wars, and now this. There's more. Much more. But I'm not going to go in to it. I actually can't believe they managed to murder it this badly. The one redeeming element was the performance of Daisy Ridly and the fact Rian isn't directing the 3rd one. The special effects, while often tonally off at least clearly had a decent amount of talent behind. What a shame it was so badly misdirected. I'm off to watch Rogue One. That's how you do it. Please, please, Disney. Don't let that man near another Star Wars film. Never mind a whole trilogy. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disney , the company that **** on its franchises.it killed of all good stories, gave ea the keys to the games and now only makes terrible movies. this movie is full of plot holes, luke is an **** and a coward, leia is super jesus, lots of jokes. force sensitive jedi is as bad as an angry teenage girl. snoke just dies and pahsma too.

what i wanted is, a decent sci fi movie, what we get, is disney cleaning house to have a clean slate for the future of the franchise. ironically thats one of the things the empire is doing in the galaxy, go figure.

luke should have had a honorable death, but he just **** everything up and acted like 16 year old. he should have been the one to face snoke and his guards, he should have had a very heroice fight against the frist order in snokes ship and save the galaxy and also become a martyr and become a character to be looked up on pop culture, but no, he was cucked and only made terrible decisions, and he made sure that Kylo would hate him but antagonizing him and just accepting that he was the actual villain . Kylo is alone, cucked and left by his family. he was put there by disney as the new villain. he is not even a good character to become the new villain in the next movie, he is just some angry teen. theres no sith or no jedi, just him. and an untrained super powerful girl.

the force also has been destroyed, everyone is so powerful now its kinda ridiculous.

the good things: the movie had good plot points and character development. oh wait, no it didnt, the only thing that made sense was kylo ren, the rest of the characters felt kinda dumb but still better than the 7th sw.

for the sequel: less jokes, less force usage, more interesting lightsaber fights, a better plot and writer, and less petty characters. oh, and have other force users, the ones we have are not very interesting. and please develop better the character of kylo, he is still lame, and now he is alone to develop the dark side sotry

Boring and poorly paced story. The occasion gags felt forced and out of place for the tension that was trying to build. It did nothing to grow the cardboard characters that were one dimensional and disposable.

We are supposed to be mad at Poe for taking down the dreadnought (which could have destroyed the resistance cruiser during the space chase) yet cheer Rose as she stops Finn from protecting... those he loved. The plot was heavily dependent on Mcguffin after Mcgufffin, more so than any other film I have seen recently. I wasn't as concerned about Luke's fate or Leia's force prowess as others point out but I think Star Wars needs a good injection of new. However, this hackneyed drivel with a memorable positive one liner here and there was not it for me. The movie did nothing to draw me in. The remaining villains were too goofy to make me feel like I should be on the edge of my seat worried about the fate of the resistance. Hopefully, Rian Johnson will take his movie's message to heart and learn form this failure of storytelling.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thought Force Awakens was horrible but it could've never prepared me for how godawful Last Jedi is. First of all, Snoke is obsessed with killing Luke because he represents hope in the universe. Fair enough. Only problem is that Kylo collapsed a hut on him and didn't finish the job! We know Kylo is in contact with Snoke at that point because Luke says as much. That was his reasoning for almost murdering the teenager in his sleep. Kylo survived the hut crashing down so why in the F'n world would he (and Snoke) not think Luke, a JEDI MASTER, also survived? Especially considering that Kylo and his supporters, whom we NEVER see (The Knights of Ren weren't even mentioned in TLJ despite Snoke titling Kylo "Master of the Knights of Ren" in Force Awakens) taking the time to murder the rest of Luke's apprentices. Ugh! Also, in several of the Disney cannon novels (and Rogue One) Darth Vader relies on his pressurized suit to withstand the vacuum of space, but Leia is so much more powerful than even a dark Lord of the Sith to the point that she can use the force to survive total exposure to space. Good grief! Worst of all, however, is the scene where Luke tosses the lightsaber. His F'N father's lightsaber! AND he reaches for it with the hand that was lost while wielding it! The very lightsaber that Obi Wan collected and handed down to him for training. If someone handed you a family heirloom, especially one with such significance and nostalgia, would you just toss it away like yesterday's garbage? And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. TLJ once broken down, is rife with horrible dialogue, incompetent editing and just a plainly obvious trash script. The final straw for me was having a casino scene that would've perfectly set up re-introducing Lando Calrissian (remember how he was one of the four major characters?) only to have...wait for it...Justin Theroux as the gambler contact??! Finally, if Luke never wanted to be found and rather just die a useless, cranky old hermit, why the F did he give R2D2 his coordinates??? And why after so much time and so many prior adventures together did C3PO get nothing more than a wink from him??? The worst part of all of this is that Disney loved this trite so much they give the hack director Rian Johnson a Star Wars trilogy? Over my dead body! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Oh my god what have they done :(

This movie is complete garbage on every single level. Can barely remember one scene that didn't make me cringe at the crap awkward dialogue, shoehorned eccentric characters, or unbelievable situation that could have been handled much better by anybody halfway rational.

- Movie is one drawn out boring battle
- Plot is boring, tedious, and verges on the unbelievable
- Most of the side characters are boring as hell with godawful acting
- We don't find out who snoke is
- All powerful snoke dies like a b*tch
- Luke skywalker turns into a moping old man literal animal tit*y sucker - Phasma is wasted and not scary or intimidating in any way. How is she a Captain if she can get owned by an ex storm trooper?
- Leia can survive in outer space when Jedi's past have never been able to do that
- Rey is great and can do everything with no training of any sort aside from a handful of wise words from luke
- Po (only interesting character) is made to be impertinent and make decisions out of turn
- No attempt is made to boost the rebels morale when they know they are all about to die a slow death at the hands of the empire. Purple haired feminazi could have let them all in on the plan but chose not to just to cause controversy for the movie. - Luke/ Kylo back story was lazy and unemotional
- We still don't know who/ where the other knights of Ren are
- Luke dies after astro projecting. Why? Obviously they killed him off because of creative differences. Then again, Rey is competent in everything Jedi so guess she doesn't need luke around anymore.
- Mystery around reys parents was such a let down.
- Yoda makes an appearance for literally no reason.
- Just what the F*** at this whole movie. We don't know anything more or anything less from TFA. Literally.

Only good thing about this movie was the new design AT-AT but that's not enough to even gain a point in rating.

Save your money, this whole movie was garbage. P.S. And we just HAD to have the purple headed feminazi freak put the evil bad white man in his place with revenge womansplaining LMAO disney can go FU** themselves.

Unwatchable does not begin to cover it. I don't have anything to say about this joke of a film except that this time around, Disney must have not only paid the critics but bought them all their own private islands to have garnered such reviews. To true Star Wars fans: avoid at all costs, and Mr. Lucas, you have my deepest apologies and sympathy. Very expensive trash, and it worries me that Disney will now own 21st Century Fox, too. Will people even remember what a good film that has depth of story rather than pushes a weak and manipulative agenda is anymore in ten or fifteen years? This is junk, plain and simple. Disney has thus far tanked Marvel (compare the first X-Men film to the latest Spider-Man), Pixar (compare Ratatouille or Up to anything from the past five years), and Star Wars (the prequels were genius compared to this). Is Star Trek next on the chopping block? Doctor Who? Will they only be content after they have bought and destroyed every beloved property that has ever existed and twisted it into something crass in the name of their bottom line? Not only will I no longer shell out for Star Wars, but for any Disney-owned property. This is a disgrace. Full disclosure: Love the OT, liked in my own way the prequels (at least they had narrative and drama), didn't like TFA, not at all, but this is beyond the pale. Puerile, predictable, and clearly designed by committee or algorithm to generate the most possible profit from the least common denominator. If you must see it, wait for streaming, and make sure you don't pay extra for it. Expand

But for people, who lived with SW universe through original trilogy, books, video games etc... for them this movie could be a huge disappointment. Plot is a total mess with no logical connection even to this movie itself, not to mention all previous SW lore. Dull characters and side plots introduced in this movie just because "why not to add something that can be added". So far this is the worst movie of all 9 (episode 1-8 and including Rogue One) buy its plot and new characters. Comparing this movie to original trilogy is like comparing "Alien: Covenant" to original "Alien" and "Alients", or like comparing "Terminator: Salvation" to "Terminator 2" Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not my Luke. Even Mark Hamill had major problems with how the character was portrayed. From the first cringe inducing "yo mamma" joke right out of the gate, to Mary Poppins Leia. Where to begin? This movie is an absolute mess, and further proof that Disney had no gameplan whatsoever with this "trilogy". Why is everyone from the OT so dour and pathetic? Why are no questions answered? How did Maz, Leia, and Han all seem to know Rey for some reason in TFA? Who was Snoke? Why was Yoda acting like he did when he first met Luke on Dagobah, when he was originally only trying to trick him into thinking he wasn't Yoda-- at no time in the prequels or after Yoda dropped his act did he act like a giddy laughing weirdo. Why am I watching 40 minutes of Benicio Del Toro stuttering? This film left me no real desire to see Episode 9. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never written a metacritic review before but I'm just so angry at this movie that I have to. What to say about it? The whole movie is atrocious. The plot literally is this: Rebels (Resistance, whatever) are running away in a small ship from a big ship in the slowest space-chase ever. Then they go to a planet and run away some more. Iconic characters die in anti-climactic ways. No new lore is introduced, old lore - even from TFA - gets effectively nuked. Don't spend your hard earned cash on this. Expand

This film takes all the things that were good about the original series, sticks them in a blender and shats on them. In a move by Disney to make Episodes 1-3 seem good in comparison. All your favourite characters and their images are ruined and instea filled with social justice propoganda. You shouldn't even watch this movie even for free, as the hours you will waste watching it, not only will have you grasping for those hours of your lives back, you'll be forever traumatised knowing that Disney came and ruined your childhood memories.

I'm not a bot. My previous, much larger reviews were deleted and I do not know why.

The Last Jedi is a bad Star Wars movie. The plot doesn't make any sense, the characters' development throughout the OT was completely disregarded and ignored. The movie suffers from SJW nonsense and disregards what was the basis of Star Wars since the beginning of the series - the concept of the Hero's Journey. It hurts to see your childhood heroes end up like thay did in this movie. Disney, just finish the trilogy and leave Star Wars alone to die in peace. You've made enough harm.

I'm literally more excited for more Expanded Universe books re-released than to see another Star Wars movie as bad as this one. This is the end of Star Wars.

Former trademarks ofAnother Disney fan fiction more concerned with profit than the universe they bought. Again we see another predictable death to conclude the chapter, as fan favourites take a back seat to one dimensional token characters. Former trademarks of the franchise such as lightsaber battles and epic narratives are exchanged in this edition for a romantic comedy's worth of humour, shoe-horned into the film at the most inappropriate of moments. The big questions remaining from the previous installment are either brushed aside or ignored in a strange attempt to belittle fans who actually enjoyed episode VII. The future of the franchise is bleak if the last three films are any indication, as it is blatantly obvious Disney is not prepared to put in the work required to make a great film along the lines of Lucas' work and is merely concerned with cashing in on their purchased logo.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The scenario for this movie is a pure trainwreck, filled with so many plotholes. All the main characters are doing stupid things one after another. There is no tension and adversity, since most of the problems the characters face is because they were too stupid to think 5minutes before acting. Like Finn and Rey parking their ship right in front of the big casino. What were they expecting, that no one would see it ? Rey going inside a dark side nexus to ask it who were her parents ? What kind of moron would ask that kind of question in that place ???

As for the plotholes, what about the Maz communication ? If they can send a long-range communication to Maz, why can't they send one to ask for reinforcements ? Why do they have to wait until they're on the rebel base ? How can Maz know what the cracker will wear that day ? No answers, those plots are just a**pulls.

Worst writing in SW canon: too lazy to build upon established mythos, it changes tone and rules to the point of self-parody. There are some good (even great) ideas… poorly executed. Meaningless dialogues go forever. Every time you think film will make a bold, interesting turn, it hits you in the face with childish humor (there are tension-breaking burps, people!), out-of-character gesture, forced and/or predictable twist… Lacks charm, heart and thoughtful message. It’s just a desperate attempt to push the saga towards easily merchandised pulp. They threw a twist after twist and all the comes out of it is that you get screwed. Expand

It's as if the plot is there not to tell a good story, but to plug in some "cool" scenes. It all feels forced and jagged. Poe Dameron comes out as a retard, and so does Luke. Not to mention that the attempt to blur lines between good and evil is opposed to the very essence of Star Wars. Suggesting that only weapon dealers get something out of war? No! The entire Galaxy gets a great value from fighting for liberty! But in this movie nobody wants to help the Resistance and fight for freedom. On the other hand, everybody in the movie acts irrationally and sacrifices his or her life without any real need. This is a disgusting film reveling in nihilism, destroying heroes and all that is good, not to be replaced with some better, but for the sake of destruction itself. This movie reflects the sad state of the West today. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie had so many flaws it was impossible to enjoy it. The pacing of the film was garbage, expecting audiences to just process all the different emotions in such a short time span.For example, In one scene, Rose is grieving her dead sister, to praising Finn as a hero, to a comedic skit between her and Finn and a taser. This was all in a span of a minute or even less. How am I suppose to feel sympathy and sadness and laugh at that stupid slapstick out of place humor at the same time? Other scenes, the fluidity of the scenes and the emotions are so scrambled and abruptly stopped with the stupid sudden comedic relief that are so out of place and overdone. It's like when a character dies, and instead of grieving or feeling sympathy, they place some stupid slapstick joke to forget it even happened.
Before I watched the movie, Battlefront 2's DLC Resurrection hints at the Dreadnaught ship as being a terrifying legend. But it was taken down instantly in the beginning of the movie by a single fleet. It had built up to nothing, which was a massive disappointment to anyone who was excited to see the dreadnaught in the movie.
MY MAIN ISSUE. The random irrelevant killing sprees that occurred throughout the movie that had no emotional scenes or interesting story arcs. They killed off General Ackbar and acted like nothing happened. The beginning of the movie introduced Tallie Lintra who could potentially be a good addition to the story, seeing that she is an official hero in Battlefront 2, and she literally dies in the beginning of the movie, and no one cares. Snoke is killed in an instant, yet his guards showed more of a threat to Rey and Kylo. This entire movie was so inconsistent with its emotion, plot, and overall pacing, it was like it was written by children.
I understand the theme, where they search for something new and they need to get rid of the old. But my god, that doesn't mean you have to kill everything and everyone and replace them with bland boring characters. So many plot holes as well. Didn't explain:
C3PO's Red Arm
Knights of Ren
Who the hell is Snoke (Who cares cause he died smh)
Why did Luke turn into a force ghost, he didn't seem like he was about to perish?
Tallie Lintra, if they were just going to kill her, why make her a hero with only TWO lines?

I can't believe I wasted my time with this. And to make matters worse, this is all canon. They literally threw the franchise into the garbage.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a Star Wars movie, this a chick flick.
Luke was written like an idiot, and he was thrown away like an idiot,
Snoke was wasted before they could harvest anything he was building up to be,
those annoying, cute penguin things were ruining half the movie,
whenever the director didn't know what to do, he wrote that BB8 would have some new, unexplained super-powers that would save the day, the purple hair commander was a worse performance than anything in the prequels, Chewbacca was the worst he's ever been, the space battles were just stupidly written.

And the main plot point was that this giant futuristic space ship was ... RUNNING OUT OF FUEL? Since when do then need to visit a gas station after every hyper drive jump?
And how could Snoke not know about that giant tracking machine that was on it's own ship?

This director destroyed the new trilogy, he took a p&$% on everything Abrams worked so hard for, and I hope that Disney will fire him.

I can't believe I wasted 2 years for this. While some were applauding, I think there actually was more booing in the audience as the credits rolled.

Some people try to convince themselves they like this movie, like they did when they first saw The Phantom Menace, but this will go into history books as the worst Star Wars [ever]!!

Poorly written, full of unecessary jokes, and far far away from Star Wars Galaxy.

Being innovative it's not just trying to push the story trough unseen paths, it's playing with unwritten rules (and anthropological codes) to tell the same story in a different, maybe peculiar, way. This is Star Wars. Anyway, plot and subplot are completetely a disaster in terms of screenwriting. So It's not anymore a matter of how much FANS are attached to the franchise, it's that Hollywood it's not able, anymore, to distiguish between a bad or a good script, while they're focused (more than ever before) in a greedy, and really pathetic, search of gold. Could have we expected something different from Disney? Certantly not.
Have I hoped something better from Star Wars? Certantly yes. May the force be with all of you, this is a really sad era.

This is the only Star Wars movie that left me leaving the theater emotionless, unattached to the characters and without the need to see "what happens next".

Many will say "it broke new ground". It did. But the ground it treads is of a very dark path. Not story wise, but film-making wise. Let me explain. This movie is a corporate statement from the creators, that reads:

----.

From now on:.

- Instead of providing answers to previously set up questions, we will simply subvert, dazzle and destroy.

- Instead of setting up insteresting story arcs, we will provide shock value and fan service.

- Instead of avoiding plot holes, we will simply have characters acknowledging them and laughing at them.

- Instead of showing the drama involved with galaxy spanning destruction, we will have characters simply mention key plot points.

- Instead of establishing meaningful locations and characters with purpose, we will find technobabble-ladden excuses for nice trailer visuals.

- Any interesting characters will only be developed in licensed games and books.

---.

This movie marks an era where the story is just an excuse for nice trailer visuals, where continuity errors are solved with one-liners and where everything revolves around selling toys. In this light - I never thought I'd say this - The Last Jedi makes the prequels feel like great storytelling. At least The Phantom Menace had purpose. At least The Attack of the Clones had long story arcs and held the trilogy together. What a sad development for the franchise and film-making in general.

Laura Dern annoyed the **** out of me. Worst line of the movie "god speed rebels", wtf, there is no god in star wars, "may the force be with you" would have been more appropriate. Rey is also proven to be a Mary Sue. Luke was a wasted character. Mark Hamil was the only bright spot. And why the **** was bb8 driving a chicken walker? I'm also for gender equality, but why aren't there any men in charge of the resistance? Not one of them is. Star wars is dead. It's a political propoghanda film with alot of Kathleen Kennedy's meddling involved. I am fan of Rian Johnson's work but you can tell he was nudged in a direction cause his past films are excellent. People like me helped build this franchise especially through the years especially when nobody gave a **** pre 2000's, well not anymore. I am done.bring George back. Please.....fire Kathleen Kennedy.i am angry and want my money back. Expand

The movie is a garbage. Kylo says that "let the past die, kill it if you have to". In fact Disney wants to do that. Do they have to? Not really, the story does not wish that, but business does.

Annyira látszik a Disney jelenléte.SPOILER. NA én is egy hatalmas fanboy vagyok/voltam, szinte az összes játékot kitoltam, könyveket is olvastam stb.Az első és legnagyobb bajom az hogy abszolúte nem mertek kockáztatni, itt van egy hatalmas univerzum tele érdekesebbnél érdekesebb történetekkel és helyszínekkel amiket bele lehetett volna építeni a filmbe, ehelyett ebben a részben is konkrét jeleneteket megint lemásoltak amik ráadásul fele annyira se működtek. Most nemmegyek bele az űrbéli bombázásba meg egyszer van vákum egyszer nincs mert SW de legalább akkor csinálták volna egységesre meg az indokok hogy a lézer már nemsebez annyit 50 méterrel hátrébról stb. Az az üldözéses rész az komédia volt. Továbbá a karakterek megint 0-ák. Nem volt egy normálisan megírt karakter talán még Kyloval próbálkoztak és reméltem behozzák a szürkejediket de az se volt. Finn az vicc volt amit művelt ebben a részben, az ázsiai csaj csak a kínai piacnak volt beletéve.Leiarol nem is akarok beszélni. Joda volt még talán a legértékelhetőbb meg azok a cselédek Lukenál XD. A casinos jelenet megint tök fölösleges volt. Disneynek megint bele kellett rakni valami cuki állatot amivel plüssfigurákat eltudnak adni. Jöttek is repülőmedverozmárpingvinek... Meg ez az ősi Jedi könyves hülyeség hogy ezek milyen szentírások azt kb meditált a rey egyet és akkor má nem is értek semmit... Ja és kifelejtettem a kedvencem... A sith nagyurat... SEMMI ÉRTELME NEM VOLT EGY NAGY **** volt az egész, utána azon röhögtem akik már 2 éve gyartották a teóriákat hogy húú ki is ez a nagyúr és hogy milyen badass lesz meg stb... hát semmit nem tudtunk meg róla. Épkézláb harc megint nem volt, felrobbant 2 hajó azt csá. Fénykard párbaj volt az a 2 perc azokkal a samurajokkal vagy mikkel... Szürke rohamosztagos megint kb minden plakáton ott volt ésa változatosság kedvéért megint volt 2 mondata és megint valami mélybe belezuhant mert mashogy nem tudnak itt meghalni az emberek. Aztán megint jött egy Hoth 2.0 csak mégkevesebb akcióval ahol megint semmit nem értek a lépegetők és megint elmenekülnek. Ott azt hittem lesz egy jó harc Luke és Ren között de csak egy DW Obi 2.-át láthattunk. Beleerőltettek a marveles hülyeséget hogy az milyen poén ha visszaemlékszünk előző részekre meg minden jelenetet amiben volt egy kis feszültség valami huszadrangú poénnal próbálták lezárni. Engem már rohadtul zavar, hogy lenyomja a torkunkon a Disney ezeket az ötlettelen SW filmeket mondván , hogy majd a név úgy is eladja magát...Nekem kicsi ez az univerzum. Olyan mintha csak egy naprendszerbe játszódna és nem egy egész Galaxysba. Nem gondoltam volna soha de visszasírom az előzménytrilógiát, mert minden hibája ellenére egy ízig vérig látványos sw filmek voltak aminél a sok ****et megfelelően kompenzálták a látványos csatajelenetekkel és a változatos bolygókkal stb. Megértem hogy valakiknek tetszett de azoknak nem tudok megbocsátani akik így legyintenek rá és nem foglalkoznak vele mert amíg profit jön addig nem fogunk jó SW-t látni mert nem fognak fölös energiát belefeccölni. Itt is ideje egy olyan összefogásnak mint amit a gamer közösség csinált az EA ellen mert ezek a gigacégek csak abból értenek ha pénzt veszítenek. Még jobban kielemezhetném a filmet de már látom hogy így is elég sokat írtam. Nekem ez a véleményem erről de szívesen fogadoma válaszokat amikkel esetleg nem értetek egyet . Végszóra az Erő és egy jobb SW film legyen veletek :) Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As many before me, I think this really is the worst Star Wars movie ever made. However, I don't want to hate this without explaining at least some of the things that I thought ruined this movie:
1. Slapstick - This is terrible. Jar-Jar was bad, no doubt, but Jar-Jar was one single character. In this movie it seems, the whole cast and even some of the surroundings serve the sole purpose of slapstick. The worst thing, however, is that:
2. Atmosphere is intentionally destroyed to fit in more slapstick. There are moments with epic J.W. - music building f.e. up to a climax that suddenly get muted or at least muffled to fit in one more slapsticky joke. wtf.
3. The Empire - OFC, the empire and their understanding of warfare has never been great by any means, however, this time around it feels like the empire doesn't only make their beloved mistake of building a DS-like super weapon. It seems they deliberately try to waste as many resources as possible. Never before has an opposing force in a SW - movie acted so freaking stupid.
4. Snoke is wasted - Snoke was the only villain left that got at least some potential. With this movie Disney effectively ruined their franchise. Anyhow, what about Snoke's death? WTF - he's build up to be the most powerful sith left in this universe and gets killed in such a meaningless way... How can't he notice Ren turning against him?
5. Ren turning against Snoke - There are what? 3? 4? Establishing shots, showing Ren's fighting his inner chaos, making a decision between dark and light side ... sadly at least 3 out of 4 are in the force awakens not in this movie. I don't say that Ren turning against Snoke wasn't obvious, all I'm saying is it wasn't established by any means in this terrible mess of a movie.

I could go on but this quite literally hurts ... I hope you get the idea.

The tone is uneven and it is not only a bad film, it is a horrible Star Wars film. It's actually the worst. The only bright spots are Luke, Rey, and Ben. Half the film is filler. I wanted to like it but it's atrocious. Rian Johnson doesn't understand what Star Wars is and tried to make a Rian Johnson film, not a Star Wars film. And it's even worse than his previous films. The forced humor and gags ruin emotional moments. Star Wars is visual storytelling with music and as little dialogue as possible. Johnson doesn't understand this. No silent montage with music at the end. Ending shot was the worst way possible to end the film. Expand

The Last Jedi contains zero character development, zero story, and is by far the worst Star Wars movie of all the Star Wars movies so far - except of course for the diabolical Star Wars Holiday Special! It is truly sad to see Disney turn a film for the family into a children's movie and to render the movie history of the Star Wars Universe effectively meaningless! In essence, with every step of this movie Disney seems to be telling fans, "this is NOT for the fans," while its previous installment was clearly an ode to the fans! Perhaps every member of every audience that will watch “The Last Jedi” will hope for, or be able to envision better plot routes than any of those taken by director Rian Johnson - the youngest of the children in the audience included! The one silver lining in “The Last Jedi” is that perhaps finally George Lucas' second Trilogy, might now be seen in a far brighter light than ever before! For characters such as Mace Windu, Obi Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and the ever popular Darth Maul and of course its amazing lightsaber duels, Star Wars Episodes 1-3 are increasingly looking to be a far superior body of work to Disneys simple kiddy flicks! Replace Jar-Jar Binks and its terrible CGI - which are gladly missing form Last Jedi - and Episodes 1-3 would have been a success! For Episode 8 there is no such simple saving solution!

Star Wars has now undoubtedly lost its core fans and it awaits to see if the box office receipts follow! Surely China will have little more interest in this movie than the last one! And without the return receipts of Star Wars fans the children’s market may not be enough to save Episode 8 from a shocking underperformance!

I was truly trying to love the movie as I was watching it, I wanted to like it, I really did. But Its not a traditional Star Wars film and it was honestly the strangest Star Wars movie I've ever seen in terms of pace, story telling and overall feel. It seemed like too many stories were trying to be told at once, and left a hot mess of a movie. Some of the best parts and reveals of the movie were snuffed out by over saturation of a side story with minor characters, or unnecessary plot twists that lead to more unnecessary plot twists. They really let us down on some of the reveals and some characters were gravely disrespected. Among it all there's a visible effort to tell a great story, with terrible, awful, over saturated execution. It really feels like additional setup for the last movie, Episode IX, instead of a standalone triumph like every other Star Wars film. The Force Awakens was a much better film, and that breaks my heart the most. I thinks we all wanted this movie to delve deep into these new characters, and all we got were more questions. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I read the Aftermath books, some of the EU, the comics, and watch the cartoons. I love Star Wars and once TLJ ended I said to my wife that was the most bored I had been watching a Star Wars movie. Even worse than some of the prequels. TFA did such a good job with Solo and Leia feeling like they were older versions of their original trilogy selves, but in TLJ Luke and (even Leia) this time around just were just new characters played by the actors we are familiar with. New characters were introduced for no reason other than to kill off somone Disney is trying to make us have an emotional connection to (why didn't Ackbar get to crash the ship, true fans would have been into it, and that plot point was used in the 3rd Aftermath book).

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ultimate letdown was my immediate reaction to the film. It is more irredeemable than Darth Vader. Incredibly poor character development with little to no plot development. The film focuses on forced humor and sight gags at the expense of advancing the story or developing the backgrounds of the characters. I have not been this disappointed since the Matrix sequel. It will take a lot to save this trilogy in Episode IX and my expectations will be very low for that film. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not bad this brand new episode of Space Balls!

Stop joking, I have to be serious now. I felt teased from the first minute, to the last.
Here's some bu****it you can find in this abortion of movie:

1)A phone joke in pure Scary Movie style;
2) Ok, it's a sci-fi movie, but the bombers that drop bombs such as in WWII... In the space? I didn't know that there's gravity in space;
3) Leila resurrects and flies into space: an awful mix between Superman and Marry Poppins;
4) Luke launches the his elder lightsaber in the sea, such as in comedy by Laurel and Hardy;
5) Luke from a mature and reflective character, being transformed into a rebellious, obnoxious and pathetic old man;
6) Luke shrugging when " the camels" end up shooting him;
7) Luke winking in camera, like John Belushi in Animal House;
8) Non-stop jokes and moments of humor inopportune, out of place and embarrassing;
9) All villains totally dumb;
10) General Hux who's not scary; he's even teased by his soldiers and brings others comedy moments totally out of place in a Star Wars movie;
11) Kylo Ren, should be the super villain of the trilogy; instead, he is a nefarious kid who fails to be respected by his subordinates and is almost killed by some species of ninjas that are not mastering fully the Force;
12) Snooke, should be the mind of the First Order, everyone wondered what was his past etc... Is dismissed ridiculously, immediately after giving the impression of being very powerful. Perhaps they didn't even know how to justify this character;
13) Captain Phasma...A Character just invented only to sell silver plated soldiers, totally useless for narrative purposes;
14) What is the meaning of a person staying on the rebel ship just at the very end? Once you have to sacrifice, why do you not immediately make the kamikaze move, instead of getting dozens of ships destroyed in a useless pursuit?
15) Being given of the vast fuel supplies of the empire, why do their ships not increase their speed a little bit? Are there only light speed and snail speed in the galaxy?
16) Rey was a padawan for less than 10 minutes;
17) Rey already mastered the Force and the use of the lightsaber; she was born learned of course;
18) The Force used such as Skype-calls;
19) The movie starting with Rey and Finn looking for each others; then the arrival of the "chubby Rose" is enough to create a new magical love triangle? Guess who will Finn finally choose of the two?! Can't wait to see it...
20) Finn and Rose saved, by pure chance, from the bad copy of Lando Calrissian, and in less than 6 hours they manage to fly on different planets, escape from prison and get to the ship of the First Order;
21) An immense clump of characters, useless, except only for Disney's merchandising;
22) The nuns frogs;
23) The screaming chickens, repeatedly;
24) Luke, who dies of heart attack after doing the spooky ghost;
25) An ending that never comes (unfortunately);
26) Flashbacks that do not exist in original Star Wars, 'cause they are not Star Wars;
27) Forced scenes, shot specifically made to subvert the very few interesting ideas of Ep. 7
28) Stop, I'm tired
29) Leia flying in the space.
