The biggest disappointment I've ever felt in my life at the end of a movie. I can't get over it. The best thing to do now is to pretend that this film never existed.

This film is terrible. Heart breaking. Disappointing. For a film that talks about hope so much it removed any hope I have about Episode IX. Poor Mark Hamill. The Last Jedi? The last **** given.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let down, to say the least. From the first scene to very last, The Last Jedi is utter garbage. The story, if there is one, makes no sense and the way it's delivered is boring and unimaginative. I found myself checking the watch every two minutes, hoping that the end would come and release me from the sheer pain this movie caused. Once the end is reached you are left feeling empty, used and betrayed. I felt no connection to any of the characters, and I could not care less, what happens to the ones that remain alive. Here's some of the highlights:
"Yes, this is Hux". I had to chek the ticket, that I was in the right hall and it was indeed a Star Wars movie, that was playing, after that classic Scary Movie quality scene.
Luke milking the whatever it was, and winking at the camera.
Leia's superman moment in the open space. Such magic.
The whole subplot with Finn and Rose. Every second with vice admiral Holdo on the screen is painful. She is one of the worst(if not the worst) characters in the history of Star Wars. Laura Dern's performance seals the deal. Luke's pointless death.

All in all the worst Star Wars movie, including the prequals.… Expand

As a "true" Star Wars fan, I can say that this is nothing but a PC Disney movie. It is not Star Wars. What I mean by true fan is I've seen every SW film in the theater (this was and will be the last) and my "man-cave" is decorated in SW. ThisAs a "true" Star Wars fan, I can say that this is nothing but a PC Disney movie. It is not Star Wars. What I mean by true fan is I've seen every SW film in the theater (this was and will be the last) and my "man-cave" is decorated in SW. This movie is the Crystal Skull of the franchise. Below is what is wrong with The Last Jedi:

1. Luke’s death is meaningless and he dies a coward. That is not the Luke Skywalker of SW lore.
2. Luke milks a space alien. WTF??
3. Leia “Mary Poppins” Organa
4. Spaceships running out of fuel?? When was fuel ever a problem in the SW galaxy?
5. Way too much Guardians of the Galaxy humor.
6. Snoke who?
7. Rey’s full name; Rey “Mary Sue” Nobody
8. Shirtless Kylo.
9. Who needs Jedi anymore? We have SJW (Space Justice Warriors)
10. By killing off the last remaining “old white men”, all the villains are white guys, all the good guys are minorities. Hooray for diversity!
11. Grrrl power!
12. Casino scene is a political jab at the 2%ers, yet Disney is part of the 2%ers.
13. First trilogy people thought that being a Jedi was inherent to the Skywalker bloodline. Second trilogy, if you had enough midichlorians in your blood you can be trained in the ways of the force. This trilogy, everyone has the potential to use the force. In other words, everyone gets a trophy!!… Expand

Just the worst star wars ever made. Luke is just an old fool that doesn't want to train Rey during half of the movie. Die for no reason ( He basically dies by having his own illusion killed by Kilo, WTF...) Finn and rose arc are uninteresting and she dies at the end in a ridiculous fake love scene. The whole movie is about a rebel ship that runs away from new order army ( look like a stupid cat/mouse race ). Visually it has his moments but definitely doesn't worth the money. Let's end the slaughter. STOP WATCH DISNEY MOVIES !!!!… Expand

Here's what I think of SW8 without spoiling any of the movie for those who want to see it anyway.
Why does this movie exist? What's that you say? To further develop and play out characters and situations that started in the previous episodeHere's what I think of SW8 without spoiling any of the movie for those who want to see it anyway.
Why does this movie exist? What's that you say? To further develop and play out characters and situations that started in the previous episode while carefully handling beloved characters that have been used throughout the entire series? Don't expect to see too much of that.
I don't think this director has ever watched all the Star Wars movies. This movie has little and desperately needs soul, heart, and drama. If you can get past the slapstick humor(why is that in here?), characters behaving completely un-characteristically, and plot devices that have no business being in this movie, there are some absolutely beautiful cinematic imagery on display here. Most of the moments that should have been very dramatic, sentimental, and emotional were completely mishandled and shallow. All the care that Abrams(SW7) and Edwards(R1) put into continuing this story arc is completely wasted here on comedic devices.
Where does the series go from this one? I can't even imagine. Still not the worst part of this series. Episode 2 takes that crown for me.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 2 hours of rebels running away, boring emotional drama of lame characters in SJW wrapping.

The CGI is overused. The dialogue is boring. The characters are stupid. Camera work uninspiring. Setting kind of ugly with plenty of awesome options.But it has the Star Wards anthem and super-smart droids.

People in this movie are naive and non-relateable. Couldn't care less for them since they're just a bunch of caricatures without showing any personal character or history.
SJW agenda all over it. Women are now dying in bombers, fighters and big battleships, also all generals are women as well. Really Disney, how can you be so obvious?
Fighting is boring and it seems all the "jedi" have forgotten how to fight with a light saber.
"Bad guys" are just a bunch of arrogant, naive and angry little kids who are angry a lot and love power. Why can't bad guys be wise, careful, contentious, ambitious and capable? Nah they just love the dark side and scream a lot. Boohoo such powerful villains...not.

Don't pay for it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was not a Star Wars film. It is a Lord of the Rings style science fiction film set in a parallel Star Wars universe. A lot was "thrown out the window" with the direction the film took, including just about everything that makes a Star Wars film feel like Star Wars. Further more, it is bewidering how Disney managed to release Rogue One a year ago which absolutely nailed the Star Wars "feel" to the film, yet manages to release this a year later, which is completely tone deaf to the setting of the franchise.

It makes no sense to defend the film's new direction when it doesn't remotely fit in the Star Wars universe, and to simply dismiss/label everything preceding this film as just the nostalgic views of a bunch of old nerdy people is not only insulting to those who support the franchise but completely insensitive to the decades of lore and millions of hours of work put into building the universe. It is evident from reading such reviews that facts and setting no longer matter when expanding upon an established setting, and that change for the sake of change is seemingly self-justified for the purpose of spitting in the face of those who have done nothing more than simply support the Star Wars universe.… Expand

So much effort to show so little happening. I've a feeling I just watched a really long commercial for Battlefront 2 and Disney's only real regret is that they couldn't find a way to charge me halfway through the movie.

Plot development? Virtually none. Plot holes? Many. Character development: Well, Rey did some interesting hiking with Luke, at least. Massive barely-strung-together visual spectacles: Plenty. Some people died along the way, but they got about 30 seconds screen time, so it was hard to tell who they were. I feel sorry for the actors and actresses as they clearly gave their all and in several cases produced stellar performances, but the director and editor threw their hard work into a trash can of mediocrity.

Little in the way of internal consistency, hand-waved deus-ex-machina, topped by practically no explanation - this apparently is what Star Wars is today. Remember how in Empire Strikes Back, the Rebels and the Empire both seemed like functioning militaries with legitimate technology (albeit with different scales of equipment)? Apparently decades later both sides are completely and utterly incompetent. Remember how we had loads of questions in The Force Awakens? Prepare to have none of them answered, along with key characters getting bridges dropped on them to avoid having to answer some of those awkward questions. The posturing men-children of the First Order (complete with orange hair) are back to make us cringe again, and the commanding women of the Rebellion are back to tell us to keep calm and trust them without any explanation whatsoever. This seems oddly familiar ground... The heroes and villains are done huge disservices by being shoehorned into outcomes that make no sense. Sprinkle some forced humour and a couple of bits of Force 'magic' that trample all that made the original films great, and that about wraps it up.

The excellent showing by Hamill and Ridley as retired Jedi master and aspiring Jedi trainee is intermixed with set piece silliness after set piece silliness in the wider movie. Almost every aspect of the battles make no sense and are just there to provide convenient holes for the paper-thin plot to run into. As an aside, Rogue One did a far better job here; the combat in that movie seemed seriously grounded compared to this outing. From hundreds of stormtroopers vanishing to scenes that go nowhere (I honestly lost track of the number of times the film introduced concepts & characters then promptly forgot about them) to strange attention-seeking moments where the film pauses as if to say 'here, we're making a point here' - the pacing and editing are remarkably poor.

Throw in a good bit of political commentary, because where would Hollywood be without lecturing us poor plebeians, and really, I found TLJ thoroughly disappointing. Fun if you have a short attention span and want to go 'oohh ahh' at all the pretty stuff, but the central and fairly cerebral theme of Star Wars that Lucas built, of Light and Dark and the points of view between, appears to have been force-pushed out the nearest airlock.… Expand

Why doesn't Kylo Ren realize that Luke was a Force projection if HE JUST BROKE THE LIGHTSABER LUKE WAS HOLDING??!!

How can one X-Wing pilot destroy an entire First Order carrier? There are many more, but the last one i noticed is a completely incompetent plot hole, that made me feel like an infant wrote this movie.

More of like a Science Fiction film from China infringing on elements and characters of the Star Wars universe. If you thought Star Wars was a good movie then you don't really like or care about how good the Star Wars films were. This seemed literally more of a reboot. But it didn't go that route. Its still the same universe but now all of a sudden, everything works different and nothing makes sense. Gave it a two because visual effects did their job. Its confusing because Force Awakens, whether you liked or had mixed feeling for it... or even hated it, made you interested with these new characters. Some characters like Snoke, Poe, even "Mary Sue" Rey had interesting aspects to them that needed to be looked at more throughout the series. These characters literally make the clash between good and bad make sense. Well guess what? Absolutely not. Every character arc didn't matter. Snoke's character for example had to panned out. How does he gather the remnants of the Empire? Why do they follow him? What was his connection with Sidious and the Dark Side? Well... film goes... Who cares? It really is the worst Star Wars ever. Even worst than Phantom Menace. At least in that movie the bad actors had a role to play in the rest of the series. I watch this movie and go... who cares now? Where were the story designers? Where were the lore experts? Heard this idea that people who hated this movie are Fan Boyz or something of that nature... well maybe they just don't like bad movies. The only way a sane person liked this movie is if they go to movies to just say... well that was cool! And literally disregard the story and development of characters. If you liked the visual effects and the battles... sure... but even then at the highest maybe a 7 out of 10. The movie dragged. Too many parts where people who like that would be like... "that part was just not needed." The story was just simply put... bad. It really ruins the and warps the Star Wars universe.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel I need to take antidepressants after watching The cinematic catastrophe that is rian johnsons "last jedi". It is an insult to everything the originals were, everything that made those movies great. Instead what we get is a vanity piece from an egotistical director with oppositional defiance disorder. I had a bad feeling as soon as poe Made a joke about huxes mother that this was not going to go the way any true star wars, or quality movie lover for that matter, desired. When i walked out of the theater i felt like my childhood was raped, far worse than any of the prequel movies, because it lacked any kind of reverence for what came before it, the legacy of star wars. In fact rian johnsons actions seem malicious and i find myself wishing the worst kinds of things to happen to this talentless buffoon. His script seemed malicious. We waited this long, only for him to completely destroy one of the greatest charcters in cinematic history , Luke Skywalker, with a nonchalance and hubris that i find deeply insulting. And say what you want about jj abbrahms but at least he was a lover of star wars and respected the foundations george lucas had built. When luke just tosses his fathers lightsaber over his shoulder, this director is trolling an audience just for the sake of shock value. All this movie attempts is shock, with one middle finger after another to the franchises fanbase. But it isnt just the constant disrespect that makes this movie one of the worst of all times , in any genre. Its just piss poor directing and writing, plain and simple. The editing is a mess, and the plot is asinine. Rian introduces things into the star wars universe that make no sense, those giant slow moving bombers, lightspeeding kamikaz cruisers? rebel fleet is running out of gas, who the f is hodo and why do we care? Why do we care about any of these new characters, there was absolutely no develpment. But we did care about learning more about snoke. No sorry the director needs to be edgy and shock you, plus he needs to give a finger to abbrhams. Thats more important than making a good movie. Rey no longer needs any training to become a jedi, lets just wave a stick around a rock. Thats all the training she needs, because the idiotic disney casino scene is far more important. Lets bring in those heavy handed social political statements into an escapist film. Better yet, lets just do it in probably the most highly anticipated film of all time.disney has now bought up and ruined every major franchise that i once loved from my childhood. Shame on you all.
I felt like crying when i left the theater and im a young adult male, tears of frustration and anger for what rian johnson has done. He should be homeless and in the gutter for this i put a curse upon his whole life and i hope something really bad happens to him for this

The way he handled luke was a travesty, i feel so sorry for poor mark hamil, who was contractually obligated by disney to complete the movie and keep his mouth shut as the millions of hardcore fans walking into a nightmare unsuspectingly. Luke skywalker, who threw down his saber in front of the emperor willing to accept death instead of kill his own father makes a decision to strike down unarmed sleeping ben on the hunch that he might turn to the darkside? luke was never a grumpy silly coward, sipping alien milk from the teet? and yet that is exactly how rian chooses to portray him in his woeful ignorance. Add in some cheesy matrix style lightsaber dodges, two in a row, and thats all we see of lightsaber weilding luke, a moment all of us were imagining in our minds for over ten years. And disney thinks its fine, to let rian do this, who the hell is this rian hack anyways, he did three episodes of breaking bad??? What a poor choice, to give the film to this talentless usc graduate. I am so deeply dissapointed in what disney has done here i want them to hurt but i know there are many idiots who will still buy the merchandise play the games and love the shallow trashy dvds. One thing i know for sure is the star wars legacy is dead. Rian has seen to thAt by burning any possible way of recovery, unless you just start over with a brand new episode 8. And leia is dead, and rian had the chance to give her the perfect send off let her float away dead in space, but instead she comes back to life in some bizarre mary poppins act and apparently she is powerful enough in the force to float herself back to the cruiser from space. Its all too much, and some of you might think im overracting but this movie hurt me so badly i had to make a metacritic account just to try and hurt back this director who i hate so much. Its all so sad, tragic, the only ones who won are corporate disneys goons, the rest of us, the true star wars fans and movie lovers, have lost grievously. The galaxy will never be the same, and i wish i could forget i ever saw this movie but i cant. You have been warned avoid this like the plague… Expand

A ludicrous middle story for the CODE BREAKER, Snoke is just a plot device with no back story, dumb bird things, shirtless EMO conflicted villians, modern superhero karate style saber fight scenes, a lame Luke death.

I suspect the scene with Leia will be the 'nuke the fridge' 'jump the shark' moment on the internet once the hype dies… Expand

The movie is visually stunning, including some beautiful shots of several of the landscapes, wide shots of big space battles and lightsaber duels. The CGI was great everywhere, and the sound design for a particular beautiful scene was extremely effective. However, the plot is lazy and boring. The dialogue is probably the corniest Star Wars has been since Episode 3. There's a whole 35 minute side-adventure that a few characters went on that adds nothing to the movie, distracts the viewers from the tension of the main story, and was just a generally boring sequence. The movie suffers from the problem of "if only the characters had just talked to each other, this wouldn't have happened", and to me, that's just very lazy writing. The acting overall is mediocre. Adam Driver knocks it out of the park with his portrayal of his internal conflicts, but the other actors and actresses did not impress. I've heard some reviewers complain about some new aspects/capabilities of the Force that haven't ever been shown in the Star Wars movies before, but I personally have no problems with it. The Star Wars universe needs to expand somehow, and that's fine by me. Three out of ten stars, one for the visuals, one for the Porgs & BB-8, and one for Adam Driver.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A subplot that served no purpose since it was all unraveled and just let them to saying, "oh they're trying to escape to that small planet over there which we should've seen coming by looking out these large windows..." Some bad humor, these pog things that are apparently supposed to be cute but don't actually do anything.

They even try to rehash the "Traitor" line from Force Awakens but it was just bad. The fight scenes were badly filmed....

The only real redeeming qualities of this film involved Rey and Ben.... Adam Driver and Daisy were excellent but the direction was just so bad and it didn't help that many times there was just humor which wasn't funny and was rather pointless (like much of it in the casino). As someone put it to me... it felt more like a Disney film than a Star Wars film and is a HUGE stepback from Force Awakens and definitely Rogue One which was the pinnacle of the Disney Star Wars universe so far. Force Awakens had some odd moments too (like the aliens chasing them on the transport vessel when they captured the Falcon... but that was better directed.

I can see that I should've come here instead of Rotten Tomatoes for a review but even there now, the users are rating this at around 56%. Still, I used my Movie Pass and paid nothing to see it and I'm still feeling ripped off. :)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its a terrible film and it ruins the whole Star Wars saga in so many effing ways. 1) Too much comic relief that didnt fit the whole movie format at all 2) Way too many Cringe scenes like the Leia scene and most dialogues with Kylo 3) **** plot. They built on so many things just for them to get **** on later without explaining anything. If Finn didnt exist nothing would change. 4) No character development. Nobody cared about the chinese girl and her romantic affiliation. Nobody. Poe also got shat upon. And no Poe doesnt care that much about Finn. That makes no sense. 5) The whole luke arc. Destroyed his char once and for all. I mean literally, I dont wanna spoil it but it makes no effing sense

But the worst thing that infuriates me is the people who blindly accept everything disney shoves down their throats and try to support and make sense of every weak plot point, every plot hole or bad decision they made. Just because some totally "unbiased" critics claimed the movie is a masterpiece they dare jump on the love wagon claiming its the best star wars movie of all time???? Even better than ESB?? Thats humiliating pathetic and honestly disappoints me. It shows ppl are so easily influenced and have zero critical thinking or ability to judge something for themselves.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've never seen a franchise completely misunderstand its main protagonist like the way Luke was treated in The Last Jedi. Sure, I get that failure is the big theme here and even legends can fail, but they did in a way that was astronomically out of character. Luke doesn't turn his back on people. Even if he goes emo because of his failure with Kylo, is that supposed to be traumatic enough to let the whole universe suffer as he tries to go into hiding forever? Nonsense. His 'conversion' scene is also dumb. Rey says I believe in you, and all of a sudden Luke has his conviction again. Completely unearned. But even when he does come back, it's another example of misdirection as he literally does nothing the audience hopes he will do. Rogue One had the Vader scene that blew the roof off the house. We want to cheer for our Star Wars characters!! This movie refused to portray Luke as anything other than an old man ready to die. So infuriating.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw this movie on opening night. It was the first time I saw an audience cheer when the hero came to save the day at the end, then five minutes later, hang their head and leave the theater in silence. The jyst of almost every comment I heard (and these were the die-hard Star Wars lovers) was 'How could they do this to us'. One girl next to me was saying, 'Oh my God. Oh my God. I can't believe this. That movie killed Star Wars'.
I couldn't have summed this movie up better. Here's why: The reviews lie to the public. Even IMDB. If you read their plot synopsis, it reads 'Rey develops her newly acquired abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker.' WRONG! Luke REFUSES to train her. In fact, he refuses to train any Jedi and wants to see the Jedi die out. Apparently he has spent twenty years trying to train people to be Jedi, but when he discovers that Kylo Ren has too much of the Dark Side in him, he wants to KILL Kylo instead of saving and mentoring him. After Kylo escapes Luke's wrath, Luke goes to a Jedi temple and broods for another ten years over his failure, refuses to have anything to do with the Rebel cause and decides he wants to isolate himself there until he dies! I am not making this up! Yes, the same Luke who rose up to become a hero for the Rebellion, destroyed the Death Star, killed Darth Vader and dedicated himself to restoring freedom to the galaxy,apparently now wants to run his lightsaber through his own nephew, wants nothing to do with the Rebellion even as his sister begs him for their very survival, and wants to hang out on an island, milking the **** of some alien on the beach and watching little aliens running around doing his laundry (these scenes ARE IN THE MOVIE! I kid you not!) and brood about his failures until he dies.
Sorry. This is not the Luke Skywalker that Star Wars fans know and love. This is bad writing to get rid of another beloved character in favor of Disney's new vision. How dare they. The writing. Atrocious. Remember the Battle Of Hoth In Empire Strikes Back? Well, you can watch a poorly staged, thinned out version of it at the end of this movie. Only wait. It isn't snow this time. It's salt! That means its totally different, right? But we've still got snow walkers and rebels in a trench with their guns, right?
And remember when Lando and the Rebels took on the Imperial Fleet at the end of Return Of The Jedi? That's here too. Only now, you don't need 50 Rebel ships to take out a Star Destroyers 15 laser cannons. All you need is Poe Dameron and one X-Wing fighter to take them out. He's THAT good.
And did you know that when Jedis die, it doesn't matter now because they can just come back to life as ghosts and interact with the living world te way they always did when they were alive? Yup, Rian Johnson the director apparently thinks so. Thus, Yoda can burn old Jedi texts and light fire to Jedi Temples. Now that we know this, it doesn't matter that Luke dies at the end of this movie. Rian Johnson can bring him back as though nothing happened in the next movie. By this new logic, hell, lets bring back Obiwan and Darth Vader and Quigon Jin and Samuel L. Jackson and heck, why not ALL the old Jedis. I could go on and on with examples like this.
And for those of you waiting for a climactic lightsaber duel, when you go, pay attention to the terribly choreographed duel between Kylo and Rey and Snoke's Elite Guards. It is laughable. The scene more akin to a ballet with missed steps than it is to a violent sword fight. See it, then tell me I am wrong. It is embarrassing. And it is all on director Rian Johnson's shoulders.
This movie is an insult to the original trilogy and is an insult to every intelligent Star Wars fan out there.… Expand

Part of the problem is that this latest entry in the Star Wars realm is so preoccupied with subverting expectations and wiping the slate clean that it doesn't appear to have any other purpose. Compelling development for the new cast is scarce, a small number of noteworthy characters are unceremoniously dismissed with almost no dramatic weight and the handling of presumed 'Last Jedi' Luke Skywalker is so inconsistent with his established character and legacy that what should have been the return of a hero ends up being a bitterly disappointing farce.

At best, The Last Jedi is a missed opportunity. To long time Star Wars fans, however, it may feel more like a cruel joke.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There might be a good ninety minute movie somewhere in this over bloated film but definitely not a great one. Too many characters. No clear protagonist. A real lack of narrative drive. Still zero explanation as to how this whole world became what it is.

My biggest revelation walking out of the theater was: "Wow. They don't actually have a story to tell." There are some great MOMENTS sprinkled throughout but there's an entire subplot that nearly sinks the film and the story just doesn't work as a cohesive whole. Way too many recycled ideas from the original trilogy and not enough understanding of the characters from those films.

What they've done to the original Heroes of the Rebellion is just plain sad and, frankly, unbelievable to anyone intimate with the characters and story arcs from the original trilogy.

The Empire Strikes Back is defined by Luke's refusal to give up on or abandon his friends. Return of the Jedi is defined by Luke's refusal to give up on his father. Put simply, the Luke in the Last Jedi is not the same character. And I don't mean a changed Luke. He's a different person.

Put simply, I fundamentally disagree with the interpretation of these characters and the story course these new movies have set. How I miss the days when most Star Wars movies ended with a flourish triumphant and a definitive victory for the forces of light.… Expand

The plot itself is absolutely pointless and two scenes actually manage to introduce massive plot holes in the entire series.

The characters are flat and one-dimensional. Rey becomes even more of a Mary Sue, Finn is wasted and is involved in a boring plotline that doesn't go anywhere, Poe has become comedian, and Luke gets the worst of it all. Only "character assassination" can describe what has happened to him.

The tone of the movie is all over the place. It's "dark", but it has so much Marvel-style quips that it feels like a parody of itself. The pacing is non-existant. Scenes are juxtaposed all the time.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Yes I'm a Star Wars nerd and I was so disappointed in The Last Jedi that I had to share my Rotten Tomatoes review...which I've never written before:

SPOILER ALERT:

A VERY DISAPPOINTED DIEHARD FAN. I haven’t been able to get rid of this knot in my stomach of disappointment and feeling upset since watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I don’t blame Disney because they got it right with The Force Awakens and Rogue One, but I do most certainly blame Rian Johnson. He has single handedly ruined, if nothing else, the story of Luke Skywalker. Remember, the very last time that we saw Luke was as a wise, strong, teachable, and good natured young man that had just faced his Father and the Emperor. He had very humbly burned the suit of Darth Vader after having a heart wrenching first and last conversation with his real Father.

Jump to now, The Last Jedi, we meet a resentful, selfish, and angry Luke who is only worried about himself as he says “I came here to die”. And why? Because Kylo Ren turned on you to the darkside? So that’s how this once wise, strong, teachable, and good natured Luke deals with challenges, to isolate and think only of his failure? Not to mention the fact that he has ‘lost his faith’ in the Jedi and his once perfect understanding and humble use of the force? Just because it would appear Mark Hamill is a little resentful and overly sarcastic at times doesn’t mean that’s who we knew Luke Skywalker to be. How can anyone really watch the original trilogy now with the same feelings towards Luke knowing what a loser he ends up becoming? Why care about Luke at all anymore? He doesn’t even care for Yoda it would appear. How contrasting was that compared to the last time we saw them together?

The movie felt like constant projection of Rian Johnson, projecting his own person opinions and resentments and humor (that he personally finds funny) in nearly every single scene. There were times I felt like I was watching The Hunger Games and no longer Star Wars. Purple hair, come on. Why do we have to modernize, and in turn ruin the greatest movie series ever made? The planet of gamblers and casinos also felt like Hunger Games and the police looked like they belonged on The Incredibles. My son adores Star Wars at age 6. But he won’t be able to watch this film for years to come with all the overly intense and dark nature with Snoke, far too much compared to what we’re used to which is saying something. And when did Star Wars decide to swear constantly? Talk about trying to ‘get with the times’ in a world where swearing isn’t nearly as offensive or uncommon as it now is.

I could go on and on about flying Princess Leia’s and how pathetic those AT-AT’s now look compared to those pointless other machines next to them that are far larger and apparently supposed to be cooler. I want Episode 8 back with a clean slate and pray that someday, someone will remake it and retain the sanctity of what it once was. But how? Mark Hamill will be gone soon and we’ll be left with the memory of how we once viewed him in his role of Luke Skywalker before Rian Johnson destroyed it all with his own projection and agenda.

Any movie can entertain you, but Star Wars has always been about more than that.… Expand
