Anyone who disagrees has toStar Wars - The Last Jedi is the latest creation of a petty-minded, middle-aged, jealous kid who's trying to make a name by destroying the life's work of a real visionary with politics and social justice ideology. Anyone who disagrees has to look at Mark Hamil's face when he realizes after the premiere that this kid has just killed his character just to prove he's on the longer lever. Mark has repeatedly tried to warn the fans during the filming and that should bring him this small-minded revenge. Anyway, the child has managed one thing. He has brought his name on everyone's lips and no matter how the Star Wars Francise goes on, you will never forget him and his deeds. If he tried to gain immortality in this way, he somehow succeeded.… Expand

A disproportionate amount of reviews of this film come from not so savory people and bots, but unfortunately I cannot defend this movie. It's just an incoherent mess. Many good scenes, but muddled by lack of focus. There's just too much goingA disproportionate amount of reviews of this film come from not so savory people and bots, but unfortunately I cannot defend this movie. It's just an incoherent mess. Many good scenes, but muddled by lack of focus. There's just too much going on to be a solid story. Character decisions and motivations were also particularly confusing on multiple occasions. Also, the final act is particularly cringe worthy, much of it undeserved. I guess if you're really into star wars, watch it, but it is not a quality movie experience on its own.… Expand

On est donc pas surpris et souvent déçus, car on a la nette impression d'être pris pour des cons... Mais comme dans le précédent épisode, le plus gros souci réside dans le casting des "nouveaux" personnages qu'on retrouve naturellement ici... On a en effet rarement vu une telle galerie de tronches de cake au charisme d'andouilles périmenazes. En fait, à part la petite Daisy qui s'en sort à peu près, tout le reste n'est qu'une triste bande de cons.

Or, on ne construit pas, on ne continue pas une saga avec des tanches pareilles parce que c'est trop gênant et trop embarrassant de voir ça. Malgré les effets spéciaux tip-top, malgré une réalisation tout-à-fait appréciable ma foi ! et j'allais presque dire qu'on ne s'ennuie pas (trop)... mais c'est faux : avec ses deux heures et demi, ça tire vraiment sur la corde de l'ennui et d'une lassitude certaine.

Les deux retraités sont quand même revenus faire leur baroud d'honneur, très anecdotique pour Mamie Leia Nova Organa qui peinerait à faire vendre deux paquets de yaourts mais impressionnant, oui très impressionnant pour Skywalker (ton papa serait fier...!). Il apporte un peu de grandeur à ce film rempli de blaireaux et pour des instants, pour des instants seulement, on y (re)croit encore. Bravo Mark et merci.

Pour le reste ou plutôt pour les restes de ce remake, on pourra mentionner l'excellent Del Toro qui est venu faire coucou pour la gamelle et... c'est tout. Même du côté de l'Empire (non de l'Ordre pardon !), ils sont nazes et encore plus débiles : mention spéciale au grand méchant (!?), papa de E.T., téléphone-maison !… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is an insult. Not just to the fans, not just to the characters. It's an insult to Star Wars. Plotholes, badly written characters (Rose, Holdo overall), destroyed characters (poor Luke), an idiotic story (ships running out of fuel? casino planet?), nonsensical things (since when hyperspeed can be used as a weapon? Since when ghosts can summon lightbolts? Since when the force allows you to fly in space?)...everything is just a kick in the nuts of what SW is. It's just like the "director" (that's what he call himself, I wouldn't...) Rian Johnson took everything SW was and decided to **** on it just to be different. Well, you know what Rian? You did it. You are different. You have directed what will be remembered as the worst SW related movie in history. Good job!… Expand

To fix the first of this trilogy they needed to find a way to make the villain threatening, and to give a reason for the main character to be the seemingly best fighter in the universe without any training or experience. Even though she has a natural bond with the force, luke, Annikan and every other Jedi who also had that needed to train for years to get good. What the movie did instead was randomly and easily kill off one of the villains and make the other question his evil ways. Then they made the only legendary character with a chance to be stronger than the main character a huge wimp. Then they made the main character even stronger despite her not getting any training. I wanted a movie about underdogs fighting a war to defeate a powerful evil villain in space. The main character is inexplicable the strongest in the universe and the villain is a huge unthreatening wimp, so there really isn’t even plot or meaningful conflict past a bunch of people whining about their emotions in space. Also strong female lead roles are a good thing in movies, but this goes beyond that to straight up policial propaganda that feels antagonistic towards males. Racial diversity is also definitely a good thing to have in movies, but rather than just having a diverse cast it is presented in a way that feels like a political statement is being shoved down my throat. I just wanted to see powerful, coherent characters fight with laser swords in space. :(… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had high expectations after Rogue One, thought the story line was going to be about Luke Skywalker turning to the dark side after becoming bitter about the loss of Leya. Instead we get a random space race with half the film focused on character who escape - then rejoin the escaping fleet?! This doesn't even make sense. Add to that a purple haird ultra feminist and space kamikaze at the speed of light and that's the film. Oh...and Luke vanishes into thin air at the end randomly. Complete garbage.… Expand

I guess we should all take in a deep breath, lean back on our chairs, and finally realise that this movie destroyed the Star Wars franchise as we knew it.
To say it's a bad movie in of itself, isn't enough. But even people coming into thisI guess we should all take in a deep breath, lean back on our chairs, and finally realise that this movie destroyed the Star Wars franchise as we knew it.
To say it's a bad movie in of itself, isn't enough. But even people coming into this 'new' Trilogy with only a passing knowledge of what came before must have left the cinema (or ejected their Blu-Ray) had to realise that everything this movie 'is' dismisses almost everything established in the prior 7 films.
To the point that I (personally) have no desire to find out what happens in the next (and final) instalment of this 3 movie 'saga'.

First off, the original (and prequel) trilogy had defined gaps between them in terms of time within the narrative.
We came into each of their 2 sequels knowing the characters had developed and matured in various ways which would be explored and used to propel the narrative going forward. It's how you retain an investment, when you're waiting 3 years between the films (2 years in the case of the 'new' trilogy), that their is a character arc that extends through the timeframe and allows the audience to go through that journey too.

However, TLJ (The Last Jedi) simply continues straight after TFA and so their isn't any unwritten (but inherently understood) character development at all.

And it's that fundamental issue that permeates the entire movie.

Then we come to insane plot devices, insane choices made by characters, and insane levels of unexplained major plot points... Plot points that either completely contradict ideas established in TFA (and to a lesser extent the earlier trilogies), or contradict ideas I/you/we as the audience have logically concluded.

I could sit here and just define 20 things that pop into my head that either ruin the franchise, ruin the ideas establised in TFA, or ruin any hope that the final film will tie it all up and explain why things happened as they did.

Makes you wonder if Carrie Fisher died of a broken heart after realising the number of nails her performance hammered into the coffin that the Star Wars franchise now lies within...… Expand

This movie tries way too hard at way too many things simultaniously and fails at most of it. And the absolute crime that is done to the character of Luke Skywalker is atrocious. I can honestly say I wish this movie was never made, or at least that I had never seen it. And so ends my life long relationship with SW movies. It's really strange how sad it is as well.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie looked amazing and had tons of spectacle but once you stop to think about it for a second the whole thing completely falls apart. Admiral Holdo's refusal to tell Poe the plan led to the most contrived conflict I have every seen in a film. Canto Bite is the most embarrassing thing to happen to star wars since jar jar (and the Rose saving Finn scene but I have bigger fish to fry). Kylo has more personalities than the goddamn villain from Split. The way this movie handed Luke was at worst a complete slap in the face to Mark Hamill and one of the most beloved star wars characters of all time and at best completely lazy (giving his personality a complete 180 because things during the 30 years after Return of the Jedi without showing what the hell happened and why). Then the movie killed him for no reason meaning there is no way to redeem himself in Episode 9. And oh boy did the movie handle the fact that they were in space horribly. Arching Lasers, bombs dropped in space, no depressurization when opening the airlock etc. The infamous Leia Poppins scene was...uncomfortable to say the least given the context. There was a particular scene that I think sums up the entirety of the movie. The scene were Yoda appears to Luke. It makes you smile for a second until he calls down lightning and destroys the library thing. Then you just shake your head and feel bad because you see what Rian was clearly going for and what he was trying to do but the poor guy just missed the mark with this movie.… Expand

Is it how they handled the characters? Is it too long? Some people might answer those questions with yes. I however, loved every second of this film, it left me speechless. This film is so original and yet so loyal to the mythos that is Star Wars, I can hardly find the words to describe it. Maybe it is the scale of this film, that is so humongous, that people can feel like it is too much, it is a burden. As if they can't follow everything that is told in this movie. To to those people: Go see it again and maybe a third time. You will see why this movie is pure Star Wars and only that. The respect to the original characters is immense and yet The Last Jedi takes those characters into new territory that is so unexplored, that it seemed impossible to make them feel like the same characters we used to love. But they have done it. They have continued the story for the original characters and crafted a new story for our new set of characters. Yes, some questions might not be answered, but this is only the second movie of a trilogy and it is already so much better than Episode 7, that I cannot wait to see what Episode 9 has in store for us. Do not judge this film too soon, do not hate on this movie to soon, because you think they made mistakes that are just merely risks they took, that change things you used to know. Change is something that should be appreciated, at least if it is done right! And every change in this film worked, because it is seeing a future we do not yet see and should await with unbearable patience. See the future, accept how the past made everything in this movie make sense and how it made Star Wars so much more complex and exciting. How can you hate something you haven't even fully explored yet? I love this film and I love Star Wars. I am in shock that this movie receives this amount of hate from 'fans' that just want to see the same boring thing over and over again. I can't give this a better score than 8 tho, because the Casino storyline was very out of place and weird and just didn't fit. Other than that, fantastic film.… Expand

This movie was only bearable after ordering 5 shots of whiskey at the cinema, and even then it felt more like a parody than the real deal.
Almost a year later I remember it and can't help but cringe.

Luke Skywalker is not what was portrayed in this film which I call “Disney 2.0”. Some scenes are ok but the movie as whole detracts from the Star Wars lore.

Aside from thisThis is the worst Star Wars movie of all. The second worst is Force Awakens. These new Disney films are not even Star Wars movies in the real sense because they completely depart from the 9 part screen play written by Lucas. Aside from this nitpick which is very important to Star Wars fans and probably much less so to casual viewers, Last Jedi is a bad film in its own right. Most of the issues with Star Wars 7 and 8 stem from Disney allowing JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson to direct each movie as they saw fit, with no regard for a cohesive story from one film to the next. For Last Jedi, Johnson either ignored or marginalized everything Abrams did in 7, which ignored or marginalized everything in the saga that preceded it. While Johnson did this in order to carve out his own vision for Star Wars, which was a self-centered motive, he would likely say he did so to subvert viewer expectations and surprise them. In my view Johnson tried too hard to be Hideo Kojima and missed the mark by a mile. Kojima is a master of turning a plot in a direction you did not see coming, but only after making you invested in the characters. Johnson subverts expectations so often that it leaves the viewer apathetic about the characters and the general outcome of the movie. Without including spoilers, Last Jedi leaves you wondering why certain characters were introduced, leaving most viewers unable to even name these characters after seeing the movie multiple times. Other characters who are supposed to be significant, die or otherwise leave the story without explaining who they were or why they mattered. The Last Jedi cultivates apathy like no other movie I have ever seen. It creates the type of apathy that makes even a hard core Star Wars fan get up to go get a slice of pizza during the movie and not care what they missed because it doesn't matter. Between Force Awakens and Last Jedi the story has been so thoroughly butchered that nothing can be done to salvage the final episode. The worst part of all this is the disservice it has done to Harrison Ford, Carrie Fischer, and Mark Hamill who were forced into scripts that were well beneath them and ended their story lines in unceremonious and apathy-inducing ways. Hamill himself is a well known critic of the Disney Star Wars movies and I'm sure would say far worse than he already has if he wasn't such a gentleman. In the end I regret having seen the Last Jedi and Force Awakens. These movies are not only just not enjoyable to watch, they undermine the feeling I have about the whole Star Wars saga and make the previous movies less interesting. I have spent the last couple of years trying to train myself to think that this is not what happened to the characters. This is what went on inside the minds of JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson and is totally unrelated to the Star Wars universe. If you have not yet seen the Last Jedi and are a Star Wars fan, I recommend not seeing this movie.… Expand

What could go(Originally written on 12/17/17) I was ecstatic about seeing this film. It had amazing trailers and an incredible director leading the project, Rian Johnson, who made a Sci-Fi film back in 2012 called Looper, which I loved. What could go wrong? This film centers around the Resistance, which is somehow struggling after they just destroyed the First Order’s main base in the previous movie. The whole movie is about the Resistance attempting to escape the grasp of the first order while they hunt them down with their “merciless fleet” and that they need Luke Skywalker to help them. Before I rip this movie to shreds, let’s talk about the positives. One positive that I can say with absolute certainty is how great the special effects are. This movie has some of the best space battle and ground battle sequences of all the Star Wars movies. They are masterfully shot, edited, and designed. The CGI is very believable here and is the best of all of the movies. The acting is also very commendable. Mark Hamill gives his best performance as Luke Skywalker out of all of the movies and Daisy Ridley also gives a very committed and emotional performance as Rey. The real show stealer, however, is Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, which really surprised me. I wasn’t sure about him as the main villain in The Force Awakens, but here he has completely sold me. His transition from emo wannabe Darth Vader to a damaged, hate-filled and sinister man was amazing and he has convinced me that he can be a very strong main villain. His scenes with Rey are some of the best scenes in the movie. Now, the part I’ve been looking forward to the least, are the things about this movie that utterly angered me the most. There are a lot of plot holes in this movie, but the one that angered me the most basically is the backbone of the movie and is the only reason the events in this movie are even taking place. I don’t consider this a spoiler since it is established early on in the film. This plot hole can be summed up into three words, “out of range.” The only reason the First Order fleet isn’t able to destroy the Resistance ship is because they are too far away from it to shoot at it without hitting their shields. Are… are you serious? You have a whole fleet at your disposal, with thousands of tie fighters and other ships, and you can’t catch one ship that is running low on fuel and is completely vulnerable to attack? Just send a bunch of tie fighters out to it, or do a small light-speed jump to get right behind its ass and then blow it to kingdom come, or call in some of your dreadnots that you claim are “fleet-killers.” The Resistance in the beginning of the movie killed “a” dreadnought, not “the” dreadnought. Another downfall of this movie is the pacing. It is holy inconsistent. The first half of this movie feels like it was put together and edited by an unpaid intern. Nothing connects or flows together well at all. It reminded me of Batman V. Superman, and that’s never good. In fact, the first half of this movie besides the first action sequence is god awful in general. The dialogue is bad, the writing is bad, the directing is bad, and the pacing, like I said, is all over the place. The rest of my complaints delve into spoiler territory, so I am warning you. **********SPOILER WARNING********** A scene that infuriated, and continues to infuriate me, is a scene involving Princess Leia using the force in a very stupid and contrived way. In this scene, Kylo Ren is about to kill his mother, Princess Leia, but decides not to. Instead, two tie fighters converge on either side of him and blast Leia into space, where she proceeds to do one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen in a Star Wars movie. In the middle of space, with no suit or oxygen mask or anything of the sort, she magically flies back to the ship using the force and she survives. What….the...f*** is all I can say. Possibly one of the worst sub-plots in Star Wars history also exists in this movie. The sub-plot involves Finn and a woman named Rose who go to a Casino on another world to find a code breaker who will help disable the First Order’s trackers so their ship can jump to lightspeed and escape the First Order without them tracking the Resistance. The whole sub-plot, however, is completely inconsequential to the events of the movie and doesn’t even need to exist. This is because the Resistance chooses to go with the Vice-Admiral’s plan anyways. This was about 30 minutes wasted of an already overly long runtime of 2 hours and 32 minutes. Although there is a lot that angers me about this movie, there is also a lot that I love about this movie, ie. the dynamic between Kylo and Rey, all of the scenes with Luke, Luke’s beautiful death, the amazing special effects, and the well done action sequences. Overall, though, this movie is incredibly disappointing and I am going to give Star Wars: The Last Jedi a 4/10… Expand

While the online reviews from fans got bombarded with haters, theyObjectively a top 4 Star Wars movie of all time and arguably #1, but that's more subjective. Absolutely nailed it on all fronts. Widespread critical acclaim was warranted. While the online reviews from fans got bombarded with haters, they don't really reflect how the broad audience felt about this movie. It's phenomenal and the majority of people who watched it agreed - just most can't be bothered to write a review like this.

The people who hated it (and bombarded user review sites) fall into three categories:

#1 - They didn't get it. They don't understand the character of Luke and can't come to grips with the fact this portrayal made perfect sense. They have an idealized idea of who the character was from their childhood and can't understand that the character always was deeply flawed and human.

#2 - They are borderline sexist/racist. No way around it, but the tiny irrelevant pocket of people who hated this movie (the thousands of haters out of 150 million that saw it and loved it) often cite their frustrations with having female leads, an asian character or some perceived political agenda. These people are idiots and can safely be ignored.

#3 - They have just grown out of Star Wars in general. No shame in that. Some of these grown adults nitpick details of this movie without doing the same to the originals. The originals are packed full of plot holes, nonsense, and childish humor - because Star Wars was and has always been a series primarily made for children. The tiny group of people who hated this movie are mainly projecting frustration with the fact their adulthood has robbed them of the sense of wonder that makes this series so delightful and enjoyable for the millions of people who still love it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An utter abomination of a film. Were it not for the sumptuous visuals and breakneck pace, clubbing the audience with inconsequential setpiece after inconsequential setpiece, it would doubtless be regarded universally as the worst outing in the series. The director's intention to "subvert expectations" goes some way to explaining the inexplicable: the non-entity that was Snoke being killed for no clear reason in a manner hardly befitting a Sith whose power one would presume to be comparable to the Emperor; Luke Skywalker being, well...not Luke Skywalker; Rey taking the concept of "Mary Sue" to a level previously thought impossible; a pink-haired Feminist insert berating Po for his toxic masculinity while refusing to brief the crew on her plan because...reasons; Leia Superman-ing in space and continuing to live despite the actress having passed away during the film's production; and on and on it goes.

In lieu of a several-thousand-word rant, I would point interested parties in the direction of the Plinkett review of The Last Jedi, which can be found on the "Red Letter Media" YouTube channel, as well as a similar video by a YouTuber named "E;R".… Expand

I know this film is very controversial. There are choices I feel were misguided. But at the end of the day, I just came to be entertained and the film was very good at that.

It looks great with some visually arresting shots and sets. Snoke's throne room and the salt planet are especially eye-catching. Action is very impressive, including one of the best fight sequences in Star Wars.

The cast is all likable. Especially liked the new character of Rose whose determinism contrasts well with the reluctant Finn. Dialogue is good.

One of the strongest aspects of this film is that director Rian Johnson manages to defy expectations about what will happen. On the other hand, he seems so intent to go his own direction that he fumbles a little with carrying on the plot. He seems almost resistant to continue what JJ Abrahams set up in the last film. You still don't learn Supreme Leader Snoke's origins. Not even a single line of dialogue. (Though I'm not entirely hating the character even if he is a clone of Emperor Palpatine. He's got a bit of style and drive to him.) The Knights of Ren are barely mentioned. Supposedly the First Order has several force-using fighters, so where are they? Phasma was set up in the first film to be a big villain, but she is barely in this. Unlike some people, I don't mind the casino planet and the Resistance infighting. (Though I do agree that the reasoning of the rebel upper command could have been better reasoned.) Still, I think those subplots could have been easily shortened.

I get that a lot of fans may feel betrayed, but I found this to be a stylish sci-fi action film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So we now have the home release for the last Jedi, interestingly this only hurts the film imo, in the cinema many people no doubt got caught up in the hype and visually the film delivers that classic star wars spectacle.

In the months since release this film has continued to divide opinion and some of the cast have caught some flak, which I think is uncalled for not only because it's morally indefensible but also because the cast imo, did a good job, In each case I am convinced that the actor on screen is portraying the character to the best of their ability, the writing and direction is what lets the film and the actors down, for that reason the 2 was given as the spectacle remained and the actors delivered their performances.

Rian Johnson wanted to "subvert" expectations and that he did unfortunately the expectation that was subverted was that this would be a good film.

At the most basic level there is 0 development from the prior film, snoke? X Rey's origin? X, Within the film itself we begin with rebels on the run and we end with rebels on the run, Rey is portrayed as some sort of force savant in the first film but unrefined, still unjustifiably gifted but raw, in this film we see no real training or development and yet she is incomprehensibly gifted, again we have a lack of development, Leia miraculously has force powers again when did that happen? luke has lost all faith in the teachings that led him to the redemption of his super evil father on some really flimsy justification, clearly characters can change but you have to show that change which wasn't done.

There are moments like the hypersapce ramming which are visually stunning but a few moments later you find yourself questioning hang on if you can do that and you have droid pilot systems why not create hyperspace missiles and just fire them at any target of a certain size? Luke claims he didn't wish to be found but left a map of how to find him? Finn and Rose needed a super hacker code breaker who could be found on a specific planet, don't find him but run into someone just as capable, The conceit of the chase is only one ship is tracking, well the rebels have multiple ships and based on Rose and Finn can dart back and forth with little issue why not slowly trickle people off the ships until all the bad guys are chasing is empty vessels? or why not load the people onto the other ships they started with and then ram your big ship into the tracking ship and hyperspace away. Similarly we have the justification Luke is disillusioned because of Kylo, what we are shown is Luke felt darkness in Kylo and immediately jumped to the kill option before regaining composure, but too late and Kylo sees the intent and events playout as shown, now knowing Luke risks his own life to redeem has father and masters his own emotions in the final showdown of ROTJ makes this whole sequence complete nonsense.

The take away point is the more you sit and think through this film the more you realise how absurd the points are and how badly it undermines certain in universe rules.

A lot was made of the representation of Male Vs Female etc. honestly those injections will certainly date this film as time goes on but ultimately it is not these inclusions that condemn this film.

Clearly some people disagree and are willing to overlook some pretty glaring plot holes, that is their prerogative, however if you want a film that is consistent and follows the internal logic of its' own universe then look elsewhere as this is not the film you are looking for.… Expand

They bludgeon the legacy of the original trilogy so thoroughly I can't even look at Luke at this point - how in Christ's name did that milk scene get greenlit?? The story completely non-sensical and sloppy. Disney can pretend a bunch of "trolls" are to blame for hating on this movie - nope ... this is what happens when you **** all over a universe that brought joy and love to millions over decades.

Aside from Kylo (and even that's a stretch) there isn't one compelling personality in the bunch. And I'm sorry, but, while she's a perfectly likable protagonist in some respects, Rey is a ridiculously over-powered Mary Sue ... she is ... at no point do you ever feel she's going to deal with real adversity, take a hit, have to dig deep ... she's handled with kid gloves and that makes it BORING. Good movies connect you with the character - make you feel their highs and lows.

I didn't both going to Solo. I won't go to the next Star Wars either. I won't buy their merchandise anymore - not out of spite but because it's just tainted. The things they could have done to revivify this amazing franchise! I write all this out of sadness. Sadness that I probably won't be able to hand this to my kids one day or larp it up at a premier.

So - to Disney : you ****** this one up. You should be ashamed of yourself. Lazy, sloppy, boring, ideologically driven drivel. I gave it one star cuz some of landscapes and ship design were beautiful.… Expand

This installment is a disgrace compared to the OT. Disney used the OT cast to draw us old fans in, pure for the money. But they destroyed the spirit, lore and characters in the OT and now are suprised fans aren't loving it...

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very, very disappointing.

I went into this movie after reading glowing reviews from critics, calling this the 'best Star Wars movie since Empire'. The Force Awakens was a decent outing, but just teased us with the Luke Skywalker appearing in the very last scene of the movie. The credits rolled before he even spoke a word. This film picks up from this point exactly.
We wait nearly 35 years for this moment only to be let down monumentally. We see his character throw his fathers light sabre off a cliff, as if to say he does not care of its significance. A metaphor for how this movie does not care for the characters and lore of the previous films in this saga. The characters in the movie actually clumsily state repeatedly how the past must be 'killed' The treatment of Luke's character is bemusing. Mark Hamill himself stated on more than one occasion how he fundamentally disagreed with how the character was written. The writer/director Rian Johnson chose subverting expectations over consistency and good storytelling.

The tone of the film is totally messed up - every serious moment is undermined with a bad joke. No-one laughed at this poor jokes at my screening.
This movie looks gorgeous, the effects are fantastic, some of the action is great to watch. BUT it disregards how the universe works, the characters do not seem consistent with the previous films, it has very clunky overtly political tones.

I left the cinema very disappointed, and did not return. This is the only Star Wars movie I did not see multiple times in the cinema, the only one I did not buy on Blu Ray. After seeing this I could bring myself to watch Solo; I just did not want to be let down again.… Expand

Tyger44Dec 18, 2017

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't hide the fact that I hate Disney and what they've done to Star Wars. With Episode 7 and Rogue One they sucked all the life and heart out of the franchise and drained any excitement I had for future installments. But despite that, I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. And that was the saddest part of it all. Underneath all the filth, there is a great movie in the Last Jedi, but everything leading up to the movie killed any chance for this movie.
The film is visually stunning, with beautiful environments and brilliant set-pieces. It looked and sounded like Star Wars, but it didn't feel like Star Wars.

For me, the only two new characters worth caring about in this trilogy are Rey and Kylo Ren, and fortunately, their relationship is the strongest part of the story. Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley have chemistry together that no one in the cast can come close to. Scenes with them are indeed heartfelt and sincere and I genuinely want them to be together, whether they are family or soulfates. And the fight with the Royal Guard gave me goosebumps, bringing back memories of Jacen and Jaina Solo battling members of the Sith Order in the Jedi Academy series.
And one final positive goes to the final scene with Luke. While Luke's death was something that angered me to no end, his sendoff was near-perfect. From the binary Sunset to the music, it was respectful farewell to such an icon, which is more than I can say for Han Solo's death in Episode 7.

However, that's where the positives end. The plot is flat out bad. It's just the Empire Strikes Back in reverse where the Rebels flee to the base rather than from the base, with bits of Return of the Jedi for good measure.
While Kylo Ren and Rey are compelling when they're together, when they're apart, they don't have much to offer. Without Kylo Ren, Rey is just a bland Mary Sue, while without Rey, Kylo Ren is just a winy little **** that makes Hayden Christensen's portrayal of Anakin seem Oscar worthy. And the rest of the cast are beyond boring. Finn and Rose's story is completely unnecessary and is just there to fill Disney's political quota of animal abuse (something that is completely out of place in a Star Wars movie). While all the political drama in the copycats for both the Empire and Rebellion carry so little weight, they might as well flout. But the biggest offense of the Last Jedi, is how meaningless everything feels by the end. The biggest example being Snoke, who is killed by Kylo Ren with no fanfare or mind-blowing reveal, making all of the theorizing about Snoke completely pointless. In addition, we still don't know who Rey's parents are, and considering how much of a big deal they are making of it, she now has to be a Skywalker or a Solo. Otherwise, Disney will straight up be admitting that they don't care about the story, only the money. In 2015, Episode 7 released, and I gave into the hype, because I just love Star Wars so much. But after watching it again, the movie got worse and worse. Star Wars has almost become an addiction for me. I keep anticipating what the future holds for the franchise only to be disappointed. Episode 7 is a bad movie. Episode 8 on the other hand, is disappointing. I want Star Wars to be great, but JJ Abrams booked Rian Johnson into a corner, which has caused irreversible damage to this new trilogy. And with countless upcoming spinoff movies coming up, the fatigue is starting to really get to me.
The worst part, this all could have been avoided. If the Expanded Universe had remained as the sole canon, and Kathleen Kennedy was able to keep her ego in check by allowing George Lucas to be a part of the creative process, this whole next chapter of Star Wars could have turned out so much better. But we'll never know for sure. My suggestion. Keep your expectation low, or just don't see this movie in theater. If you really want to see this, wait until it's at your local redbox. Much like EA, Disney only speaks with what's in your wallet. If you want Star Wars to return to its former glory, speak their language. I will always love the original trilogy along with the prequels and all the EU that filled all the gaps before, between, and after. But I just can't accept what Disney is doing with the saga as MY canon. I'm not being a sexist, a racist, or just a Disney hater. I just want a good Star Wars movie, and this is not one.
We're not the manbabies Disney. You are. You say failure is the greatest teacher, then explain to me why you can't accept your own failure.… Expand

All the good potential of THE FORCE AWAKENS is completely wasted.
Johnson just sucks as a director and even more as a writer.
Three "WOW" scenes visually stunning won't save you (Johnson) from history and fanbase judgement, you think of yourself as a great revolutionary, instead you just made the worst SW movie since ATTACK OF THE CLONES in 2002.
Enough said.
I hope Abrams will just ignore or destroy Johnson's work in EPISODE IX, for good.

Thanks for completely butchering Luke Skywalker and making a great hero into a child murderer. F U. Thanks for injecting your SJW agenda into a world that was once an escape from the drudgery of politics. Thanks for refusing to draw upon the wealth of stories from the Expanded Universe and instead removing it from canon, rendering 30 years of passionate work from authors and fans meaningless. Remember Kyle Katarn, Jacen Solo, Mara Jade, Kyp Durron?! None of them ever existed now. Yuuzhan Vong invasion? Never happened. What did we get in exchange? Some freaking Mary Sue? To hell with you, Disney. You have RUINED my childhood. I LOVED Star Wars. I LOVED the Expanded Universe. You had a responsibility to the fans who grew up with this franchise. In the words of Adam Sandler, "YOU BLEW IT!"

BTW, the movie is terrible, and full of plotholes, shallow character development, and cliches. These criticisms have been done to death elsewhere, so I will not repeat them here.… Expand
