While some of the effects were very good,some just weren't such as when the falcon is on crait shooting tie fighters and then flying through the planet.Just look at how masterfully done the kessel run from Solo is in comparison.
There are continuity errors,plot holes and the film has more tonal shifts than Revenge of the sith and from the very beginning it felt bad with it's out of place,space balls humour (the first order are meant to be frightening for god's sake)and awful,corny new characters.

Some of it was well done such as the stuff on the island with Rey and Luke and i thought their performances were good but what the hell have they done to Luke.
JJ Abrams was respectful and very careful about how he made the force awakens but Johnson has made a shoddy mess and taken everything JJ set up and everything that went before and thrown it out the window.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There are many plot holes in the film, but the biggest flaw is this: you can't make a hero's journey without the hero learning anything. Check, for example, Luke's learning curve in the first three films. The hero is encountered with the unknown, he goes into it, slowly but surely he learns, through many trials, what it is to be a jedi.

Now look at the plot structure in the new films (especially in this one): the hero already knows too much of the jedi powers. There's a total disregard to legacy. When the hero walks into a force trial of sorts, she only sees herself. In the previews film, she already knew some secrets of the force with almost no training. Here, the hero gets a free pass into becoming a jedi.

There is also the issue with the ideology that the film wants to set forth, and worst of all: diversity for diversity's sake. No. In a monomyth structure the key is having the heroes do their work, learn something and with that confront the ultimate plot twist before the resolution. Here I see very little of that.… Expand

I Assume Disney Was trying to Make the Franchise more good since the First Star Wars Movie, The Plot is a bit Okay, The story is a bit Mediocre, But the score is still Fantastic in every way, It's not that bad, It's just Painfully Average.

Oh boy...where to begin? Star Wars: The Last Jedi is easily the best or second best Star Wars film--easy. It manages to give us an amazing story, filled with amazingly well written characters, beautifully crafted scenes, and a score byOh boy...where to begin? Star Wars: The Last Jedi is easily the best or second best Star Wars film--easy. It manages to give us an amazing story, filled with amazingly well written characters, beautifully crafted scenes, and a score by Williams that will make any person shiver with euphoria. Everything on screen and I mean everything is visually gorgeous and hard to top. The Last Jedi is the darkest film in the Star Wars saga and is filled with jaw dropping moments that will leave you speechless--It certainly left me speechless. Mark Hamill returns as Luke and nails it. Carrie Fisher (God bless her) returns as Leia and nails it. Oscar Issac shines as Poe and gets more character development. Daisy Ridely ad Adam Driver SHINE as they give powerhouse performances here. Andy Serkis is always great when he's on screen. Domhnall Gleeson does great here as well. This is a perfect movie, but there is just one downside to it and that involves John Boyega and newcomer Kelly Tran, playing Finn and Rose. They have a storyline here that doesn't fit all too well for parts of the movie, and at some points feel like an entirely different movie altogether. But it can be easily forgiven as it does give us new looks on the Star Wars Universe, plus LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. The action is incredible, the space battles are star gazing, the lightsaber fights are blazing, and the fights on the ground are blaring. But most of all, this movie tells a story that you will never see coming, not from a mile away. It toys with your expectations, knowing exactly what you are expecting, and the immediately does that and/OR THE EXACT OPPOSITE. Plus, it answers most questions left in The Force Awakens while also leaving oher aspects open. It should also be noted that this movie barely did what The Force Awakens did, as in fan pandering. There's barely a single sign of it here and that goes to show just how passionate the man behind this movie is. Rian Johnson has written and directed the best Star Wars film I have ever seen and it proves why Lucasfilm is giving him free reign on a new trilogy. Rian is a master class filmmaker here and he needs to be recognized for bringing a new story, with hard hitting moments, to life. But most of all, I am excited to see what happens next...Luke was right, "This is not going to go the way you think." I am going to watch it, then watch it again, and again, and again. Thank you, Rian, and thank you, Lucasfilm. And before I go, don't worry Game of Thrones fans, Captain Phasma actually does stuff this time. Cool stuff too.… Expand

I see no other reason than perhaps self-entitled pissed off Star Wars fans nitpicking and just not sitting back to enjoy the show.

Do yourself a favor, ignore the snowflake meltdowns, watch it, enjoy it for what it is, a space action flick, that's it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is utter garbage. Right off the bat, a space chase like that is not physically viable, basic weightlessness in space means ships would only accelerate and never slow down. There is so many plot holes, needless characters (who is also brilliantly uninteresting)and useless lightsabers (also wrongly named laser swords) bad fights (enemies clearly aiming for weapons not persons) and a plot that make me want to vomit.

Worse then the already garbage prequel. Not to mention a starsystem killing weapon makes no strategic sense, who are you going to rule after blowing up all the people and resources of entire systems? My 10 year old nephew makes better stories, let alone actual writers... Disney did exactly what we all feared, mucked up starwars to a be parody of the "real movies"

The writers and directors should be ashamed. The story makes no sense, the characters make no sense, even the enemies are bad. The big badass snookiiee cant foresee his own death? and his guards are useless (literally dropping weapons and throwing themselves into death) Damn, even the last bit makes no sense, ehmm why huddle outside the BLASTPROOF doors, maybe wait inside and deny the enemy use of the walkers ex. Finn finally getting his moment only to have it taken away (btw how she catch up and overtake him??) DAMN this movie is SO bad! - only the latest Predators movie is worse (but that one really IS worse and death of the Franchise) This is the death thrones of the Star Wars saga coming to a abrupt end. Rouge one gave a glimmer of hope that maybe Disney wouldn't Gak it all up, but Noooo.. Worst movie in Starwars universe, in all time, meta, expanded included (which says a lot)… Expand

Got to get this plot point, hurry! Whoops, no that isn't necessary. The characters are uninspired, from the newest to the most iconic. I didn't care what happened to any of them. No one is a leader, everyone is an idiot. If George Lucas were dead, he would be spinning in his grave. I have seen and love the original 6 movies for my whole life.

I never want to see episode 8 again. Star Wars is dead to me now. I will not be seeing episode 9, and considering that Star Wars is my best loved Sci-fi franchise, that is saying something. I read the books, played the games (board and computer), drew pictures of the Millennium Falcon as a child and saw all the movies on opening day, including Episode 7 (which was also a huge disappointment but at least felt like it might have been hiding something that I missed...)..

I never will see E8 again, nor will I watch E9. I could have gotten a bunch of monkeys with typewriters to write a better plot and more compelling characters. It is almost as if the writer WANTED to piss on the Star Wars lore, just to say he could.… Expand

A son is about to kill its mother. It already killed his father a couple of years earlier, so he hesitates. He is not alone, and the companions decide to seize the opportunity during his pause... and take the shot. The mother, and the rest ofA son is about to kill its mother. It already killed his father a couple of years earlier, so he hesitates. He is not alone, and the companions decide to seize the opportunity during his pause... and take the shot. The mother, and the rest of the people that was with her, get sucked up by the cold vacuum of space. All seems lost. But then, the mother, the leader of the resistance opens her eyes, extends its hand to the ship, and flies towards it! It's a miracle!

A soldier that has doubts about his loyalty to his commrades and their believes, decides to sacrife himself to buy them a little more time. He is about to get killed, proving everyone (even the audience) that they were wrong, and he is saved by someone, who prefers to take the shot instead of him. It's a miracle!

The resistance is trapped in a cave. There is no escape, as the tunnel just collapsed behind rubble, and the enemy will get them before they can get out. They need more time to clear the rubble. All hope is lost. But wait. Someone appears. A hero of legends! But he was in another planet, in another solar system! He confronts everyone, buying them the time they need! It's a miracle! Oh no! He was a ghost of some kind! We don't have enough time to clear the tunnel! They are coming for us! Wait. The rocks are moving! Are they... flying? It's Rey! She saved us! When did she become so powerful with the force? It doesn't matter. It's another freaking miracle.

Oh no! We were jailed! "I can get you out, and by the way I am a hacker of sorts". Oh no! They are destroying the little escape pods! Our post-leader just went light speed kamikaze and destroyed their fleet (even tough there is no reference it could work that way)! Oh no! Snoke is going to kill us! He didn'trealize that someone is force moving the lightsaber, until it's too late... and he dies.

Do you see the pattern here? In this movie miracles move the plot forward. Not the consequence of actions by the characters. At the end, the good guys are just lucky because someone up there ("up where?" you may ask in space) cheers for some, doesn't care for others, and is playing god. No character development, the set where the movie takes place seems more like an excuse, the bad guys are bad for the sake of being bad.

Oh no! They are making another one!… Expand

I'm gonna leave it at this, the movie has potential if the movie was edited differently and certain scenes were cut out and some deleted scenes were placed in the place of those scenes. If the casino scene sequence was cut, and Rose ended up being a hacker who was once a criminal and gets them onto Snoke's ship. So, with that there would be extra time to insert the deleted scene when Rey runs to the village she thought was in danger and has a nice dialogue scene with Luke. The Last Jedi, while I didn't like it at first, could've been made better if a few changes were made that would've been easy to make. I'm not part of the toxic fan base that claims this ruined Star Wars, I just think that Rian Johnson would've been a great anthology film director and J.J. Abrams should've directed the whole trilogy. This is actually what I think LucasFilm wanted, and J.J. didn't want to direct them, good thing he's back. So all in all, The Last Jedi is a decent and confidently made, but fails to remember that part of making Star Wars is fan service. I want to see Rian Johnson come back and prove himself with an anthology film, which I believe he is better suited for. Maybe bring him on to write the Obi-Wan movie with Ewan McGregor and let him make an Oscar worthy movie with good action, like Looper.… Expand

CT27-9999Feb 17, 2019

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie made me feel stressed, awkward, and disappointed. The movie is about failure and the characters’ failures are not due to inherent flaws, but because they make stupid decisions. Finn and Rose get caught by security on the casino planet because Finn crashed the ship. It was established in the last movie he was a terrible pilot. Once in prison they decide to trust an obviously untrustworthy guy, and it ruins Holdo’s plan almost making her sacrifice pointless. Poe had them go on the mission in the first place because he was overreacting to Holdo’s refusal to tell him the plan. He mutinies and ruins her plan, yet he is barely reprimanded. This does the opposite of endearing me to their characters.
I thought Luke’s portrayed was great. The explanation for how he came to that state was too vague. Luke and Kylo’s actions in response to this event seem extremely irational, hopefully we get more context in the next movie. I liked both this portrayal and his original heroic one, so I was very dissapointed at what seemed to me to be a half redemption. He saves his sister, but he fails to confront Kylo honestly or bravely. He humiliated him and died spreading an incomplete image of he was. The galaxy doesn’t need hope, it needs the truth. Luke wasn’t perfect, and that is okay. They should know the truth and continue to hope, fight, and struggle regardless. I very much disliked the way the movie portrays these final scenes as positive when I felt they should be bittersweet at best.
Overall the characters I liked from the last film were made to look foolish. They were at their best interacting with each other, but Poe, Finn, and Rey barely speak to eachother the whole movie. Kylo Ren has a chance to be a different kind of villain and chooses to do the whole “rule the entire galaxy thing”. Snoke’s death was genuinely exciting and this ruined it. There are about a dozen other things I could rant about, but I will end on a positive note. The acting is great and this is definitely the most visually stunning Star Wars movie yet.… Expand

But it could be argued that this is not really a real SW movie anymore, it´s only on the name. Like other people wrote before me, it looks nice (hence the 1 star) but it's boring and way too often illogical/nonsensical. On a side note, it includes quite a lot of subliminal (and at times direct) political, economical and sexist propaganda. This in my opinion does not belong in a good fantasy film supposedly intended to entertain people from all genders, races and political orientations. Certainly it was never part of the SW universe before. But that´s not the worst part. There are many more other deviations in this movie from the SW that we all know and love: changes in old well stablished character personalities, in how spaceships work, in how the Force works, and a long etcetera. The director actually said he was doing everything he could to try to break the SW traditions and our expectations. He did achieve his goal unfortunately, and thus the film lacks any heart that makes a SW film. Why would Disney spend billions buying an incredibly loved and successful franchise and then allow a single producer or a single director to INTENTIONALLY break with the traditions and our expectations of such a valuable intellectual property? We loved it as it was (that´s why they had to pay so much money for it in the first place!) so why the obsession with changing it so much? Don´t waste your time with this trash. Metascore 85. User score: 4.4. That says it all.… Expand

Yes this is a different Star Wars movie. "Things are not going to go the way you think" Many of the reviewers on the site are salty that their theories didn't come true, and that Luke was a hermit to begin with and not a Grand Master Jedi that the Expanded Universe originally wrote him as. Although, yes he is that, but that comes before this movie. Before the sequels (Although the flashbacks do help show that) Luke is now ashamed for what happened to Kylo, he feels responsible, and hurt. He feels like he let down Leia and everyone else. He has taken full responsibility for it all, he has gone to the island of the first jedi temple to simply get out of the way and die. But that is until Rey find him, at first yes he is unwilling to teach he, but then he agrees, now I cannot wait to see him return in Episode 9 as a force ghost and see Rey take over, who is the true last jedi, and teach a new generation of Jedi. She has the books, Lukes saber, and she is ready to take the screen and fulfill her destiny. Yes at first glance Snoke is a bit of a waste. Most people salty that he wasn't Bane or the Emperor, but it doesn't really matter who he is, or if he comes back or who he was. Kylo Ren has overpowered his master, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, but Snoke was arrogant, and didn't count on Kylo betraying him. Adam Driver did a fantastic job at portraying this. You think he will turn and help Rey, but he tricks her, and try to turn her. All I can say is this film was fantastic. The funniest thing about this movie is how salty people are that their fanfics didn't come true!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So, since a year has passed since one of the most decisive movies ever has come on out, and I've decided to finally review it. Why? I know for a fact this review will be down voted because it's a positive review, I know for a fact i'll be hated for loving this movie, but you know what? This is my review. I know it won't change anything, I know it's just one review, but it is my review, and like those who have given this movie a "10", and a "0", my voice will be heard as well. This is not the worst movie ever made by human beings, this is not the soulless cash grab the world has created, but it is NOT the best Star Wars movie, it most definitely has flaws, and it is far from a perfect movie, but with all that being said, it is still strong. Yes, the opening crawl isn't that good, I think setting it a few days after "The Force Awakens" wasn't an advantage, but after this crawl, we get John Williams amazing score blasting with a gorgeous trumpet chant, and, in my opinion, a funny joke from Poe, and Hux. I much prefer Poe to be a jokester, rather than no nonsense, because A. We have Hux to play the straight man to all of this, and B. Oscar Issacs delivers this moment very well. I think it's alright to laugh in a Star Wars movie, if Han Solo taught us anything. We then get an impressive space battle, and yes I've heard the complaints of the bombs dropping in space, and how the defy the laws of physics, but this is a universe where Lightsabers exist (which defy the laws of physics), and their exists an energy in this universe which allows people to lift rocks, and bend people's minds with the slight of a hand, so pardon me if my suspension of disbelief is a bit more for me to see if this universe didn't create technology to drop bombs in space. Also here, we get a beautiful moment where we see Rose's sister make a heroic sacrifice, and it's done with little to no dialogue, which is the strength of Star Wars.

I know people have a problem with how Luke is portrayed, but it makes sense. How else would you act if you had failed your nephew, and you lost all your students when you were supposed to be the one who were to make them become the next guardians? I know Mark Hamill said he didn't agree with the choices made for Luke, however A. He later stated he was happy with how the film turned out (Amazing how people forget to include that part) and B. Sorry, he's just the actor. Sure he originated the role, but their were other actors who played Luke after him, and their will be more after him. He doesn't get a say over this character, unless he was the writer, and director. That's how it is in Television, Film, Theatre, and Voice Over. I will admit, I will agree with those who don't like this movie about the casino scene, but I won't lie, I am impressed by the mix of practical and CGI, and this obviously took a lot of time and effort to make. The one criticism i'm shocked by is how people don't like Luke's ability to use the force, but what happened if we said the force can't shoot lightning, or couldn't bring down entire ships? We limit what this all powerful force can do. Saying Luke, one of the most powerful Jedi, and THE SON OF ANAKIN SKYWALKER, can't force project himself the across the galaxy is on par with saying the Aliens in "Signs" weakness is wood, and water, it just makes no sense. Look, if you hated this movie, I'm sorry you had such a terrible time, and felt the need to blow up about it, and I hope you won't be this upset again. I will not however agree with how people are treated. I have a friend who was an extra on this movie, and she told me entire shooting days took longer than they should because Rian Johnson was meticulous about everything, he even looked at every extra's costume so a clear character was shining through them. He also loved using practical effects, and she said she saw many people wanting him to use CGI, but he felt it wouldn't be a Star Wars movie if they did so. I will admit, some of the stuff he has said, like the "Your Snoke theory is wrong", is definitely not cool, but anyone in his position would be fighting back, especially if death threats were received. I love this movie, and that's where I stand, and I'm super excited for Episode IX, and I know fans are making wonderful films like 'Star Wars Theory's' Vader film (still waiting for part 2). I'm happy with what i'm getting from both fans, and Disney, and in the end, was I entertained? The answer is yes. Thank you for reading, and may the force be with you.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After seeing The Last Jedi I know know how Disney movie screenings must go. You settle into your seat. You recline back a bit. You turn to your left and take a snort of that sweet sweet cocaine through rolled up $100 bills provided by Disney. There is no other explanation than drugs and bribes as to why this movie is getting the stellar reviews from critics. It isn't a completely terrible movie, but it isn't the amazing story the reviews would have you believe. The plot is . . . terrible. As my wife said "there are so many plot holes you could fly the Millennium Falcon through them." Finn's plot is worthless and his love story is idiotic. I mean they knew each other for 8 hours or less. Rey trained for what, two days and she is an uber powerful Jedi. The movie disregards all previous movie, book, and EU content in terms of what the force can do and how hyperspace works. I mean 70% of the movie was made up of Star Destroyers chasing the Rebel . . . I mean Resistance capital ship. This is dragged on because the Rebel ship is smaller and faster. There are a half dozen Star Destroyers with full compliments of fighters, shuttles, and bombers. They could have swarmed the Rebel ships. It makes no sense. Other just egregious plot holes: The force lets Leia survive in vacuum even though she never trained as a Jedi. The bombers rely on gravity to drop bombs. I don't think any of the writers understand how space works on even got a B in any science classes. A master thief is found in a jail cell that he immediately walks out of . WHY WAS HE IN THE CELL! Rey is a light side Jedi, but she constantly is angry and clearly is fighting like a dark side Sith. They never call this out. On and on and on.

Many of the characters are just unnecessary. Captain Phasma has to go down as one of the worst characters of all time. Rose is terrible. She exists to 1) appease the Chinese market and up the movie's diversity quotient and 2) add in an unneeded love interest. She professes her love to Finn after knowing him for 8 hours. There are some very good elements; Rey and Kylo's conflicted nature with each other is very interesting. I think all of the actors did fine with what they were given, but the writing is terrible. The movie just isn't that good. It is thoroughly average if a little below average.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It destroys SW. It's an inconsistent movie, Finn saying hyperspace is not possible, and 2 minutes later knows all the details of it. The chase is absurd and boring, The First Order shouldn't have any problems sending more fleets just in front of them to cath them, also, they don't have faster ships? any civilian ship can outrun the first order if they don't have that tracker thingy? A dumb thing also, in the OT there's tracking. It's stupid that they only send 4 fighters to fight the Rebel/Resistance(they keep changing the name in the movie), they don't have more fighters in their 20 cruisers? Even in the OT we saw more fighters. Luke character is destroyed. Every plot opened in TFA is eliminated in the most absurd ways...The new SJW admiral behaves like and idiot, not telling anyone the plan for no reason, even when a mutiny takes place(you take Poe and tell him, he's no damm spy, he just destroyed Starkiller Base you moron, also, if there's a spy, the plan wouldn't work anyway). They treat Poe like a reckless idiot, but he actually makes all the good calls, he's demoted for destroying a ship that would've kill them all. They make Husk a joke(where are military leaders like Tarkin?), all the movie is full with stupid jokes in the worst possible timing, every serious situation has a stupid joke to ruin it. Rey is more a Mary Sue than ever, using force powers like nothing, defeating Luke, fighting elite guards after one day training, by herself, against a rock....Also, the worst fight in all the movies, no reason for it(what are the guards doing attacking Kylo? Is not their new boss?), full of mistakes, guards flipping and exposing their backs to the enemy, guards aiming to the air or the weapons instead of attacking the exposed heads of Kylo and Rey, weapons than dissapear, no force powers being used....A joke, and it's the best part of the movie, sadly. Canto Bight just a waste of time, the plot about selling weapons is also absurd, it doesn't make much sense that the Rebels and the First Order got different weapons from the same buyer, also, makes more sense that they create their own weapons, specially the First Order, they have the most advanced weaponary in the galaxy, that should come from their own I+D, no from buyers. Does the buyers sell Death Stars also? TFO can create Death Stars and not fighters? There's nothing to save in this movie but the visuals and acting of some characters, not worth spending more money on SW ever again, or at least until they say this movie never happened and make something coherent at least, I'm not even asking for good anymore.… Expand

Between poorly forced jokes that cover a veiled attempt to complete scenes and a lack of real substance in an exchange for 'twists' that achieve very little throughout the movie it simply seems to build to a point but chooses to fizzle poorly instead of creating opportunities for characters to truly grow and for the story to truly progress (whatever that might entail).

Not to mention theThis movie failed at being a space-fantasy/ sci fi and it failed as a sequel to both TFA and the other SW trilogies. It was the epitome of superficial; very flashy, good visuals with no real substance or consistency. Not to mention the Space-balls level of comedy, plus tone shifts worse than the prequels. As long as you do not care about the franchise in any serious manner, and lower your scrutinising capacity, if you can pretend like you're watching a silly parody, the movie can be enjoyable. Then it becomes a mildly amusing action flick or fan-fiction. I imagine a lot of small kids will love it just as much as they'd love any other flashy, superficial movie. It is clear that the main purposes for these movies is to be a vehicle for Kathleen's political agendas and to be a huge advert for toys and games, because the symptoms of these aspects are very evident and seem to take priority over consumer enjoyment/satisfaction in general. There are so many meta moments, so many pointless, unsatisfying subversions, so much bathos. ~I'll try not to spoil
An entire sequence of the film, lasted for about a quarter or more of the movie, was utterly pointless, it didn't push the narrative ahead enough, it barely served as a plot device and was very badly written, it felt so out of place, tonally & visually, yet it was made into a priority. It only served as a plot device to show off a new female character and a new 'warped yet familiar' character, and allow the opportunity for certain other characters actually do something of 'significance' in the movie.
It's not the only case of this kind of thing either.

Snoke was very unsatisfying and still remains a mystery... a pointless mystery, as pointless as Phasma and the new guy, whatever his n-name was. Nothing was revealed about Snoke's history or relevance, apart from an icon on Luke's temple floor (which you'd have to read some book or look up online to know about). Kylo Ren was probably the most interesting character on screen, but his story still had many flaws and inconsistencies. Where are the Knights of Ren? who are they? Who knows, farts in the wind, for all the director cares.

Many of the plot-twists were very wishy-washy, meaning shallow, purely made to get one over the fans or viewers. The main twist of the trailers ("time for the jedi to end") turned out to have no depth/ explanation or philosophy, probably have to watch deleted scenes or read a comic to find out. I think it's quite lazy to simply highlight that the Jedi were flawed in the prequels, because that was already obvious to me and many others. If you're going to do that, at least don't do it in a way that makes Luke completely obnoxious & hypocritical. 1000+ years of pretty good work, keeping peace in the universe, and 1 crappy mistake and the Jedi are worthless to Luke, wow, such wonderful dedication, a true hero.

Rey still feels like no character at all, she has no relevancy to the previous movies and there's no consistency to her character. She has no real relationships (she gives zero **** about Finn), she barely struggles with anything, there is no inner conflict, we are told she has no character flaws (she does but they're not considered as such). She's just the perfect vessel to move the story forward without having to explain anything or build the universe/lore. Not to mention how her motivations are inconsistent and purely meta, derived from examining parts of the audience. Kylo Ren's backstory with Luke was devolved into a rather unfitting experimental piece on 'perspective', at the cost of any logical consistency with Luke's character. Luke's story during the end of the movie could have been so much better, I must admit it had some merit to it, not a lot, but some. I find the most erroneous thing to be how Luke's earliest characterisation (chronologically) is basically a creepy, violent uncle. I agree with Mark Hamill entirely though, this is Jake Skywalker, a bitter, spiteful, cowardly hermit. The overall theme of the movie was "Let the past die, kill it if you have to", It also seems to set things up for a future of a tail-eating-snake cycle of repetition, which is probably not what George wanted...

These movies will never be ret-conned, they are the new 'Star Wars' now, no matter whatever ridiculous, hollow disaster it becomes. I also doubt EA will have their grubby, greedy hands taken off this franchise. Nice little monopoly they have there. I'd suggest people start looking for a new spiritual replacement or successor.… Expand

It is evident now that the soul has been ripped out of the franchise. This is made all the more apparent with the use of socio-political tropes such as the attempt to further the SJW agenda - present throughout the film which began with Episode 7.

Instead of celebrating the Star Wars franchise by making full use of their new amazing creative opportunity and learning from George Lucas' mistakes, Disney's ego gets the better of them entirely. The film disregards their fans with a plot that passively mocks their intelligence, Disney then goes on to unprofessionally mock fans directly in response to negative feedback to their film on social media.

Unlike the so-called "professional" shill critics, viewers have the finger on the pulse as to what value this production and the franchise is now truly worth. This is already evident in the recourse of film boycott by fans when the Solo movie was released and went on to be a financial flop. Of course Disney and their paid media outlets blamed it on “Star Wars fatigue”. All said and done, unfortunately there isn’t much hope for Episode 9.… Expand

Absolutely terrible. Ridiculous plot with ridiculous ending. No real character development, and completely pointless. I rarely bother to write a review, but this is just awful.

Worst Star Wars movie made. As the second movie of a trilogy it did not make sense. The writers, directors and producers had no idea what they were doing. Don't waste your time or money.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi completely ignores all the plots and stories and the base its self on Star Wars and what the sequels were going to be. There was no plot development and ruined Luke fundamentally as a character, and decided to kill him(also in a stupid way) and kill spoke without telling who the hell he was. It also ignored and forgot the Knights of Ren and more. Just a poor movie in total when it comes to a Star Wars film… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People criticize Luke a lot by drinking green milk from that alien's **** but i assure you that this is nothing compared to the real mistakes this movie has.

- Bombs falling in space without gravity
- Poe alone destroying that giant ship
- That embarrassing scene of Hux with Snoke
- Leia Flying - All the annoying and messy arc of the casino
- The meaningless plan of Holdo, which seems to have been made just to bellitle Poe
- All that constant Marvel Humor that does not match with Star Wars
- Leia flying
- The Stupid Snoke´s death (worse than Boba Fett'death)
- The ridiculous choreography of the throne room (if you do not believe go review the scene carefully and you will see weapons desappering and the guards dancing)
- The dynamics between Finn and Phasma could be much better
- Leia flying
- Rose saving Finn like What the ****?
- The explanation why Kylo turned to the dark side does not make sense.
- Yoda burning the books, LIKE THE **** NAZIS!
- And of course Leia flying in space, like Palpatine floating on the Star Wars Battlefront II of PS2, at least emperor was doing it on the ground.

Ohh my Luke, what have they done with my luke? WHY? WHYY!!??

I just do not give zero for this movie because i do not want to belittle the work of the people who made the look and the sound, which was almost perfect, and the performance of Adam and Mark is also good.

I left the movie theater so confused, more confused than when i saw forced Fifty Shades of Gray, because of that movie i do not expect much.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is just so many Things done wrong with this Movie, this Review could go on forever, so let´s make it short. It was more about pushing Genderpolitics, than telling a story. The Characters that I liked to know more about from the Force Awakens, were written very flat and had no character developement and if so, they just srewed it. Killing off the main villain WFFS? Also there was way too much humor, which really felt out of place. Another Point is that Rian Johnson obviously hasn´t treated the old Characters like Luke and leia with the respect they deserved. I understand that the Movie needs to have it´s dramaturgical means, but you didn´t have to make old loved Characters like Luke an alientit-sucking wimp. It really felt like forever watching that film. Every introduced Plothole from the previous Movie has being ignored. Will definitely not watch the next episode.… Expand

Any "professional" critic that gave this movie a decent score should be fired from their job or investigated for accepting bribes from Disney. There are obvious issues that any critic should be pointing out: inconsistent tone, breaking the laws of the established universe, embarrassing dialogue, ridiculous actions of characters, major plot holes, etc. It's very misleading for critics to take what is obviously just a bad movie and call it "ambitious" or "different". It's as if a really talented high school film student wrote the 1st draft of the script and that's what Disney went with. It's an abomination. We as a society should actually be saddened that so many people liked this movie.

I look at blockbuster movies and I see a trend, the companies creating this "entertainment" must believe their audience doesn't care about story. Somewhere along the way movie companies stopped believing in order to make money they needed to tell a good story and make a great movie. The very substance that made movies appealing and fun to watch is missing from film today. It's all spectacle without any heart or brain.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. According to Disney, the Force is political correctness

After watching Star Wars VII, The Force Awakens (TFA), I actually had a new hope (pun intended) for the Star Wars franchise. It was fun and exciting, it generally respected the original characters, it introduced new characters, and yes, the old characters was certainly gracefully giving way to the new characters. I thought it was a great way to start the next trilogy. So I was hoping that Star Wars VIII, The Last Jedi (TLJ), would now cement a new set of long-lasting, memorable characters in the guise of Kylo, Rey, Finn, Poe and even the new "Emperor" Snoke. Great scott, I was so wrong. What in the world was that mess all about? The Last Jedi was so crammed with politically correct ideology (all men are stupid and degenerate, all women are clever and enlightened). Characters like Poe that showed so much hope in TFA, even Snokes showed some weight at the beginning of TLJ, and even Luke Skywalker himself, but they ALL completely degenerated into nobodies in TLJ. And oh my goodness, the whole claptrap ideology about women being the enlightened and evolved ones and men being the old patriarchy and degenerating into dumb monkeys is so obvious it made me nauseous. By the end of The Last Jedi, I was dying to re-watch Transformesr 1-5 all over again - at least Michael Bay didn't PRETEND there was a story (nor politically correct ideology) and the effects were good!

The force has indeed awakened, only to fall asleep again... Disney is fast becoming a politically correct school for kids.… Expand

No resolution on Snoke, Knight of Ren, C3PO red arm, Rey's parents etc. The managed to actually make you not care if there is another film. Sadly the director Rian Johnson has been charged with creating another trilogy... The movie lacked originality, this Star Wars is a cross between Space Balls/ Speed (if your star ship slows down below this speed you blow up) and Mary Poppins (Leia). The social justice warriors got a hold of the script made sure every evil person is white, all men an inept, and all women are the fearless always right, wise heroes. They just forgot to make it interesting... Very sad day for the Star Wars franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know where to begin. I was/am a lifelong starwars fan. Grew up watching the original trilogy. The prequels were "meh" for me, too much CGI not enough character cohesion/chemistry. But this.. this new Star wars by disney is abysmal. it is destroying the franchise, and the universe of Star wars.

1. The mary sue jedi is annoying as hell. So she just magically learns all these abilities because...? oh right.. GIRL POWER! smdh. apparently you can just be a jedi off the bat with absolutely no training. 2. they ruined Luke's character. Nay! assassinated his character. Luke goes from converting DARTH MF VADER back to the 'light side' of the force from only a tiny sliver of hope that he can save him; to trying to kill his nephew because he MIGHT be bad some time in the future? Are you kidding me? Who ever wrote this in, needs to get shot. horrible, just horrible. 3. Killing off characters (for some reason) doesn't always work as a shock or loss. Sometimes it just feels rushed and nonsensical. 4. Leia should have died in the movie, if they wanted to space her that is. Her magically having force powers (that strong) was silly and did nothing but break the immersion. Half the audience laughed at the scene, and it was supposed to be an emotional and tense scene.

5. The whole forced political PC/SJW thing is annoying, and the fact that they keep pushing this makes the movie horrible. There are so many moments where I was just like, "oh for the love of god..." that they take you out of the feeling and immersion.

6. The subplots are dumb. They use smaller crafts to go on "side quests" and keep returning to the space chase... why can't everyone just get on these smaller crafts and escape as such? Again, points to rushed/dumb writers. It's pathetic, and this also makes the movie a jumbled mess. 7. The bad guys (especially the general, who is supposed to be a threatening high ranking officer) are made into comical jokes. Everything is 'tongue and cheek' humor... forced into unnecessary scenes. were the jokes funny? some of them. Were the jokes silly and forced. yes. Nothing says "be afraid" of the bad guys like having the main character joking with them in dire scenes ... sigh...

How does Disney mess up the trilogy so bad when they had the books from the extended universe to base their story from? Just loosely follow the books, and BAM movie gold. But again, some genius (looking at you Kennedy) decided to stuff these movies with sjw drivel instead of focusing on the characters and plot.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was so bad it turned me off to any and all future star wars movies. there is not any one single reason that can be pointed to but several. Rian Johnson has no ability to write or direct anything this big or special to so many fans. He took a beloved franchise and pissed all over not just the previous movies but all the fans. From Leia being able to not only survive in space but fly like Mary Poppins was just wrong. The complete character assassination of Luke was horrible to watch. While i would never condone attacks on actual people the character of Rose Tico was just awful and unneeded. Rian Johnson ignored everything that was set up by The Force Awakens. He wrote his script before The Force Awakens was even completed and did not care about anything that was set up to have a great story going forward. I have no desire to watch anything star wars anymore and that is very sad. I was a huge fan. I bought clothing, toys, movie sets and anything star wars I could find. Now I don't even want people to know that I was a fan.… Expand

We still do not know who Rey's parents are after the big fuss from TFA, Snokemary sue wars Wasn't a great movie with lots of issues. It didn't follow through from The Force Awakens properly after it set the foundation for a fresh trilogy.
We still do not know who Rey's parents are after the big fuss from TFA, Snoke turns out to be easily killed and there were many decisions that could've been changed.
For Example, Admiral Ackbar shouldn't have been killed off so cheaply and he should've been the one who did the light speed run not Holdo who means nothing to Star Wars fans. Also, Luke should've fought Kylo Ren with a green not blue lightsaber for continuity's sake! There was no reason for him to have the blue one at all.
And finally, there is Rose. The bit when she stops Finn from "saving those who we love" by flying into the cannon only for her to claim that she is doing just that is just senseless.
I have to admit that it wasn't until I had come out of the cinema when I realized the issues with The Last Jedi. It certainly took a while for it to sink in given the high hopes I had after seeing Rogue One a year later!… Expand

On top of that the directors attitude outside of the movie is honestly just awful, you can deride the fans all you want for their behaviour but at the end of the day Rian is supposed to be the professional and he doesn't act like it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a bad movie, but a terrible Star Wars movie. This movie suffers from several problems.

1. The humor. Some of the worst jokes. Star Wars is not a comedy. There are some jokes in George Lucas' movies, but at the heart it's a space drama/epic. The humor in this movie is completely misplaced. There's a "your mom" joke. That is how bad the humor is.

2. The destruction of Luke. Luke is basically crapped on in this film. Luke is a grumpy old man in this film and all of his character development from the original trilogy basically means nothing. He was HOPE, but now he is just a grumpy old man who doesn't care. He gives up and the reasoning doesn't seem convincing enough.

3. Finn and Rose. The chemistry just isn't there and the forced romance is uncalled for. I didn't see it coming at all and they randomly kiss? It was jarring.

4. Breaks the Star Wars universe. The hyperspace jump through the ships breaks the old movies. Why didn't they just hyperspace through the death star? What's the point of hiding the plans in episode 2; what's the point of making a weak point; what's the point if you can just hyperspace through the death star? Weaponizing hyperspace BREAKS space combat in every way.

5. Plot points introduced in episode 7 not followed up on. Rey's parents? No one. Knights of Ren? Not in the movie. Snoke? No one; he's dead. Luke left a map? Yet, in episode 8, he doesnt want to be found?

There are other issues, but these are the main ones. A terrible Star Wars movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. TLJ creates more plot holes than advancing the Star Wars story

First off, the story violates established canon regarding hyperdrive and how it works.
Secondly, the tactics of the First Order makes no sense and rather than come out menacing they just look incompetent
Third, almost all the character regressed rather than progressed, and their abilities/background contradict what was established about them in TFA. eg Finn claiming that he is not a pilot and later piloting in TLJ.
Very unsatisfactory resolution of the Chekov's guns in the sequel trilogy
All the side plots are irrelevant and does nothing to advance the story In summary, the movie makes as much sense as if in an alternate universe someone were to cut the last 5 minutes of TFA, and attach the last 20 minutes of TLJ to the end of TFA. That alternate movie would have less plot holes and made more sense. Complete waste of 2 hours and Disney ought to be playing the audience to watch the movie.… Expand

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.
