The force awaken gave us hope that with building some interesting characters. However the Last Jedi subverted all my expectation with horrible writing as if there is no one in the writing staff has any previous knowledge on what is canon in the franchise. They also wasted all the talent from all original cast members. What a let down, and the last movie tried to make it better but it is all too late this movie have single-handedly ruined the whole trilogy.… Expand

It's hard to fathom how so many special effects that cost millions could not help make this movie less painful to watch. This needed to be directed by Rogue One's director who seems to be the only person left that knows how to make a starwars movie, or collin treverrow. I was so please to hear he was the director considered he made the movie "safety not guaranteed" and considering how the movie turned out, I find it makes sense why he quit due to creative differences and tried to distance himself from this garbage.… Expand

This movie was a bunch of racist drivel against all of its nonwhite characters, and it was an utter waste of John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, and Mark Hamill's immense acting talents.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What amazes me is not that this is a terrible movie, but that it is such a plainly terrible movie so widely acclaimed by "critics". When I was younger, I had an impression that critics, you know, criticized. I remember so many action and sci-fi movies I thought were pretty good and the reviews would go, "meh, cliche script, gaping plot holes, no character development, meh", even as cult followings formed around them. And that state of affairs seemed natural - they were flawed movies, that we found peculiar and idiosyncratic reasons to love. It's so weird to find the situation reversed now, with armies of critics thrusting laurels upon these truly disembrained amorphous blockbuster heaps, while longtime fans of the franchise seem to be the only ones who care enough to spot the flaws. Something interesting worth investigating has happened in the political economy of film criticism.

The new cast fails to connect, which is not the fault of the actors but of a story which gives them little meaningful to do, little growth, a script that seems plagiarized from kids' joke-books and inspirational workplace posters. Really, there is hardly a story. The central plot device, the space version of the OJ Simpson chase, is both boring and absurd. Why would a ship moving through space slow down because of lack of fuel (an object in motion remains in motion...)? Why can't the Imperials just use hyperdrive? The characters are always running off to do this or that, for reasons that make no sense, and fail to fit into any larger strategy or narrative. Yes, the movie looks good and sounds good, the effects are awesome, but that used to be considered the icing on the cake, not what made something a good movie. The classic cast are irrelevant shadows valued only as captive legitimacy symbols, perverse trophies, like deposed statesmen kept alive long enough to woodenly endorse the new president-for-life before inevitable ignominious doom. Enough has been said about what has been done to the character of Luke Skywalker. But what was more telling was the way Admiral Akbar was treated. This was a better test than Luke as to how the moviemakers really felt about the Star Wars universe - a marginal character easily overlooked by someone whose casual or workmanlike review of the saga films left them cold, but much beloved by those who love the films and universe. They offed him off-screen, and did not skip a beat. The first draft of the line was probably, "General Akbar, Luke, Leia, Lando, the robots, Jeff from accounting, Munchie, and Han Polo is dead. Anyhoo..."

Ok, the movie sucked, a lot of movies suck, that's totally normal, it happens, it's no reflection on the hardworking cast and crew, hopefully they will go on to better things. What leaves me unsettled is the critical acclaim. Another reviewer here said it before me, and they were right, this is the world of the Emperor's New Clothes.… Expand

A truly awful middle film for any trilogy gives the final chapter nowhere to go except the drawing board and ends up giving audiences an overall unsatisfactory experience.

Very poor lightsaber choreography where no 2 sabers even clash in the entire movie as one of its many subversions coupled with 2 of the worst ever filmed space battles in all of cinema that insult the intelligence of the audience and climaxes with a universe breaking maneuver.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abandoning the script arc in the middle of a trilogy isn't a good idea and this is a case and point example of why. Characters fall flat and fail to develop, shock value childish writing is forcefully substituted for actual professional and constructive writing, and Rian Johnson's ego ego was fed by a bunch of more money hungry pleebs who don't know how to tell a story, only hoe to listen to one at an eyes wide shut party. When the full scope of the movie, and it's tone (oh gawd halp ma) depict every single character in the opposite light that they were portrayed in previously in the mediocre but passable "The Forcr Awakens." So for those of you who have never written scripts for films over a saga, or TV shows over a series arc, you should probably know something... It takes a LONG time to bear out and properly write the character progression for a 3 arc trilogy, let alone a quality arc tying them together and symbosicizing the A,B, and C story lines. TLJ (I can't stomach typing jedi in this movies title, it just isn't appropriate) is a gross conglomerate of coprpeeate ignorance, substance abuse probls from the people they've hired, and then gas-lighting the community that wrote the stories they **** up on screen like it's no big deal. This was the sole reason the film saga for star wars is dead, and why any decent star wars programming now has to be segmented into short bits for TV shows, and it's even limited to Disney+

I originally wanted to congratulate this movie for growing a female character after its predecessor, but instead I just got cooked out story telling that didn't make sense and was a tragic insult to the woman that made the franchise:

Carrie Fischer
May she rest in peace… Expand

Just an absolute assassination of the character of Luke Skywalker. Literally an almost deliberate "eff you" to fans. Nothing redeeming about this movie.
