Rian Johnson showed us what he imagined of the Star Wars universe and it was the best usage of its different creatures, society and the Force, opening a vast range of new posibilities and stories.
Keep in mind that this is a movie, not a book. Its focus is on what is most important, so it won't answer all the questions, naturally. The movie give us everything we could ask for: amazing batles and fights (physical and emotional), interesting characters, great villian, mounting tension and unexpected plot events. Plus it is a lot of fun to watch as well, but not trying hard to be funny.
Well done!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I have absolutely no idea how this film is getting bad ratings.

Well actually, that's not true. I do know. Fanboys.

I'm not sure what direction some of you wanted this movie to take, but as a lifelong fan of the series, old enough to see the original when it and I were still young I was delighted when Rey's turned out to NOT be the offspring of anyone prominent or shocking.

I also felt that the handling of the Rey and Kylo's struggles with the force was spot-on, as was the explanation and exploration of Luke's failure. The way each of these characters expressed subtle emotions and soul-searching in these scenes was night and day from Anakin Skywalker's "turning" in the prequels. In fact, while I've never been as down on those movies as some, seeing similar scenarios and processes handled well, makes me feel worse for what those movies could have been.

Could we have learned more about Snoke? Sure.

Did some of the last-ditch "saves" feel a bit stretched? Indeed - but that's true of not just every Star Wars movie, but just about any film of this nature ever made.

For the most part though, this movie was incredible. It avoided being predictable, while being careful not to go with the polar opposite of the expected outcome often enough that it became crass.

I'm not sure how you can watch this and say that the characters don't undergo development. I mean, the way detractors are talking, you'd think the original trilogy fully explored Han Solo's history, background and motivation. Do we even know how he became best friends with a Wookie? Nope. We didn't need to. Tying up loose ends was my biggest issue with the prequels. Boba Fett was cool because he had a menacing demeanor, a cool look and he was mysterious. Knowing his backstory, literally removed one of his defining characteristics.

Personally, I think TLJ stands with Empire as one of the greatest films in the series.

Oh, and an enormous THANK YOU for returning Yoda to his wise but wryly mischievous self. After the stilted, pompous, joyless, one-dimesional know-it-all that episodes I-III presented us with, it was literally a joy to see the restoration of my favorite character.… Expand

I admit the movie has its flaws, pretty big ones at that. Finn and Rose's little adventure was just throwaway nonsense. Rose is a very dull and cliched character. The heroes introduced in force awakens didn't get as much screen time. The new resistance leader with the purple hair wasn't very interesting. It also has a slow start and the overall story about trying to escape from imperial ships was a bit pointless. Still, despite all of those criticisms I had a really great time watching it. There really are some fantastic moments and I appreciate the fact that this movie was clearly made for the fans. Ray and Kylo Ren in particular pulled me in. It didn't quite meet my expectations and struggled with pacing but overall it's a great movie and i'm excited to watch it again.… Expand

I loved this film, it was brave enough to take these beloved characters in fresh and unexpected directions as well as tell a story in such a way that many modern blockbusters wouldn't dare attempt. Mark Hamill deserves an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Luke, such a heavy performance that expertly conveys the loss and hopelessness that Luke feels. Ridley, Boyega and Isaac were great once again with another stand-out being Adam Driver as Kylo Ren, furthering a character that is quickly overtaking Darth Vader as the best Star Wars villain.
However there are flaws present particularly with the casino sequence feeling out of place and a few narrative hiccups here and there but i'm willing to look past them as the challenging and risky feel of this movie threw me completely off guard and was exactly what this saga needed 40 years after the original.… Expand

Now I can safely say that this movie is far better than Episode VII. Rian provided answers to most of what I wanted and some great twists to keep me engaged. I love Star Wars, but I only care about the episodes (the spin-offs just don't make the cut for me) so after waiting for two years for this movie I am happy to say it was worth the wait.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a fantastic edition to the Star Wars universe. It is as fun and exciting as any Star Wars movie. It brings a new sense of wonder and mystery to the Force. And yet, at the same time, it wisely dares to explore new themes and to subvert genre tropes.

The haters giving 0 reviews often complain that TLJ is "Disneyfied" and a "kiddie" movie. The major themes of this movie must have flown over their head. This is an uncompromising story about the disappointment and bitterness that encroaches on all of us as we age, mature, and reflect on our youth. Luke's conflict relation to the Jedi is all too familiar to any of us who have attached ourselves to noble but imperfect causes. I don't know too many kids who can relate to that.

It's also the rare adventure movie that allows for the fact that heroics can be misguided. In TFA, Han chooses to go to lightspeed from within a hangar. ("Isn't that impossible?" Rey asks. Han replies: "I ask that after I've done it.") Surprise, surprise: Han's risk works. In contrast, in TLJ, hastily conceived plots don't work out the way our heroes hope. People have pointed out that Finn and Rose's side quest could be removed and the plot would end up in the same place. Perhaps that is the point--although more accurately, Finn, Rose and Poe actually make things worse by compromising Holdo's solid and unflashy plan! As Leia tells them, Holdo cares about the cause, not about acclaim for her heroics.

These thematic elements breath new life into the expanding Star Wars universe. TFA felt like a warm familiar embrace, and I was happy for it. TLJ builds off of that goodwill, but then enters into dialogue with many of our assumptions about the world, themes, and morality of Star Wars. But in doing so, TLJ doesn't cheapen what came before: it deepens our appreciation of it.… Expand

In fact this is one of the best movies I've ever seen, The only problem I had with it was the casino planet sequence. Also I believe all the 0-2 reviews left by fanboys are because Luke wasn't Yoda 2.0 and didn't do amazing flips and blow up spaceships with his mind smh... I feel sorry for anyone who didn't enjoy this movie but I have a hard time believing they honestly think this movie deserved a 0, 1 or 2 because they've obviously finished the movie and anything under a 3 isn't worth staying till the end for, another thought is this completely deviates from the original trilogy, you know the children's movie where a boy grows up and learns to swordfight with his pet robot and fuzzy animal friend. I can imagine in the 70s the original trilogy being considered a great kids movie but the last Jedi is a different beast entirely and will have you thinking on whole new levels as in not everything and everyone is completely good or evil. The conflict within Luke's mind is for lack of a better word realistic. I mean did some people expect this movie to be about Luke destroying armies with his mind and being some type of zen God? I mean think about what he has witnessed, maybe it would be better if the Jedi were dead? I hate it for the bad reviewers cause I wish that they saw what I did or at least enjoyed it in someway. All I can hope for is Disney listens to the less vocal majority of people who truly loved this film and I hope they stay the course… Expand

Even among those that did not enjoy the movie, many still agree that it is exciting and well acted. Most who didn't like it tend to take issue with its near disregard for the sanctity of the series. It is a challenging movie, a movie that exists in a moral grey area when Star Wars largely up till this point has dealt in absolutes, blacks and whites. But to me that is invigorating. The prequels were criticized for their poor special effects, poor plotting and dialogue, poor acting, and overall not "feeling" like Star Wars movies, with the exception of Episode III which began to approach the feeling of the original trilogy. We want a movie that feels like the original trilogy, many fans said. Then came along The Force Awakens, with great actors, great dialogue, great practical effects and sets, and which returned the series to the kind of story and plotting fans had been asking for. But then came the criticisms that it was too derivative, played things safe, and didn't try anything new. Now with The Last Jedi, we have a movie with the fine acting, spectacular action, practical sets, shot on film, which takes risks, moves the series in new directions, and broadens our understanding of the force, the light and the dark side, and what it means to be a hero. Yet there are criticisms - how dare they change this, how dare they make this character act in this way, how dare they challenge what I thought I knew...it hardly seems fair to me.

I believe there exist fans who did not like the prequels, who thought The Force Awakens was too derivative, and now are up in arms about The Last Jedi. To any fan that finds themselves in that position, I ask: what do you want? I do not mean that flippantly, but genuinely. What is this Star Wars movie you have in mind that you have yet to see? Because if only the original trilogy is worthwhile in your estimate, than perhaps you do not like the movies as movies as much as you like the fandom that comes along with them. The original trilogy is not perfect, and a lot of criticisms that have been directed towards the prequels and the sequels should, and have been directed at the originals. They are intentionally derivative of older works, much of the special effects do not hold up, the acting is often suspect, and on and on. But they are fun, and they are cherished, and they mean something to many.

I think the problem with Star Wars is that its such a huge universe full of so many possibilities, that sometimes when something in the universe doesnt conform in the way an individual imagined it should, it makes them very upset. But if you asked 100 different fans what should happen with a certain character, or which direction a certain plot should go in, you might very well receive 100 different answers, so how do you begin to please everyone. You can't so you have to make the movie you would want to see, and hope that its a movie that resonates with the fans. In this case, I think Johnson made the movie he would like to see, which is one that does not play it safe and which challenges its audience to think, consider, and discuss.

If you have not yet seen the movie, I would suggest going in with an open mind, and trying to enjoy where the movie takes you, not dwell on how closely the movie confirms to where you hoped it would take you.

And if you dont like it, and you didnt like TFA, and you didnt like the prequels, then I guess you'll just have to write your own Star Wars script and try to get it made.… Expand

As result we have gotten one of the most exhilarating cinema experiences of the last decade. Nothing I expected to happen happened leaving me in awe, I have seen many viewers disliking this movie as result of it subverting their own head cannon. But too me and I am sure many the risks this movie took really heighten it above other star wars movies. While the plot is somewhat lacklustre, this movie instead focuses on the characters letting Rey, Kylo and Luke shine. Additionally what allows this movie to have a leg up on other star wars movies is the sense of urgency felt throughout the movie (Besides the Rose and Finn Subplot which is definitely the worst part about the movie) you are truly on the edge of your seat throughout the movie unsure about who will make it through to episode 9. While there are some weak moments there are many amazing moments throughout that definitely outweighs the weak. I cant forget to mention how gorgeous this movie looks, one of the many highlights of the movie is that it is a visual masterpiece.… Expand

TFA was too close to the originals and the fans hated it, now TLJ is too far and they hate it. There's no winning. Honestly my rating is a 8.8/9, but someone needs to offset all the 0's. Could have used a little less humor, let us live a little more in the emotion of the moment. That being said at least the jokes worked. SW has always been a little cheesy, and that's okay, but in my opinion they slightly cheapened the maturity of this entry. I liked the movement away from the black and white morality of the series, towards something more real and adult. This is a Star Wars film that's finally willing to acknowledge the grey areas, and I think the series is better for it. Yeah, there are still a lot of toy commercials in this, but it's SW, what do you expect?

All the things you want from the series are here. Space battles, ground battles, adventure, excitement, heroes and villains. The spectacle of it all is amazing, if not a little overlong. The saber duals featured here are by far the best choreography the series has ever seen. No spoilers, but about 2/3 of the way through is a sequence that I don't think Lucas could have conceived on his best day. These expected moments are solid, but what this film really has going for it is when it steps away from those expectations. To start with there's actual character development, believable and relatable character growth! TLJ features some of the most nuanced people I've seen in a major studio franchise film. Finn could have used a little more to work with, but his B-story is still fun, and has some payoff for the future of the series. What always made Han so great was that he felt like a real person dropped into this fantastic world. His presence is missed, but Rey and Kylo make up for this in spades.

This finally feels like a new direction for the series, and as someone who grew up with the original trilogy, I'm happy to move beyond the characters that shaped my childhood. Those characters are still here, and feel so much more real than they ever have before. You can feel the weight of 30 years of war on all of them, especially when you look in Luke's eyes. Life seldom turns out the way you expect it to, and this movie acknowledges that. I think this sentiment is the exact reason so many have trouble with the film, they want a simple story of good versus evil. They want the heroes that they know and love to be challenged, but they also want it to be safe. This movie is not safe. It wants you to see beyond the space opera conflict. To see that the universe is larger than Rebels and Empires. It wants to break the cycle and become something more. I applaud the audacity of this, and enjoyed every moment in the theatre.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say this is now my second favourite movie in the whole franchise (may become my favourite but need to watch this one as many times as I have the others to make a fair call on that one) and being in my late 20's this is the best SW film I have seen in a cinema. Adam Driver is much less of an angry-teen-type as Kylo Ren in this one and I loved seeing the "light"er side of him. The space battles in this movie gave me anxiety but in a good way, I didn't know whether to close my eyes or sit on the edge of my seat. When I thought about it on the way home some of the lesser characters arcs seemed to be a bit unnecessary but I think they exist to serve the idea that not everyone has to be some revered hero. I got very emotional seeing some older characters return but also was wow'ed by the new sets. The standout part of the film for me was the costume design particularly on some of the newer, more red enemies. I will definitely be watching this a couple more times at the Cinema and I cannot wait to get this on a home release so I can pick it apart even more.… Expand

In this one, we get a lot of creative twist and turns, engaging story arcs, some genuine surprises and an abundance of thrilling action sequences.

People seem to be angry because they didn't do a remake of the original trilogy like they did with TFA, or they actually developed the characters from the original trilogy nor did they fulfill their ridiculous theories. There seems to be aPeople seem to be angry because they didn't do a remake of the original trilogy like they did with TFA, or they actually developed the characters from the original trilogy nor did they fulfill their ridiculous theories. There seems to be a large portion of the "old fans club" who don't seem to want to see anything new. And there's nothing wrong with disliking the film, but to pour the same amount of vitriol that I see in these reviews is just childish.
It's literally the reason I made this account. (Hello, by the way)
And for reference, I too grew up with Star Wars, actually learnt English from it, played all the games and watched the series. I'm a fanboy too.

The film uses many plot twists and subverts the traditional "hero with an unlikely plan saves the day because he's the hero dammit" trope and is actually realistic about losses and such. Making realistic strategy work and the emphasis on sacrifice refreshes the action scenes leaves anticipation as to what will happen next and who will survive.
Some scenes in particular just mesmerised the whole theatre, the set design, animation, choreography and general aesthetic of the whole film is just beautiful.
Also, Kylo Ren is probably the best character from this trilogy, most certainly better than any prequel arcs.

There's no such thing as a perfect film, but this film does enough right to merit the high score,
I'd say its biggest flaw is probably the set up for Luke, I disagree that he would run away like that (not a spoiler, seen in the previous film), however, I enjoyed how the film continued his story at the end. Ditto Admiral Holdo, both could have been handled better but I liked how their characters evolved.

I can't do 9.5 so I'm rounding it to ten. Equal to a New Hope, not as good as TESB.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I truly do not understand the hate being thrown at this film. This feels like the only thing that could have possibly followed something like episode 7 - the entire theme of the film was "Out with the old and in with the new" and the message wasn't just for the Galaxy, wasn't just for the franchise, but was also for us in our own society. I felt that the weakest point of the film was definitely the casino scenes, but I'm very sure they will tie this into a future plot and I was also thrilled to see more universe and lore expansion happening in a main series. I cannot wait for the final installment and part of me can't wait for the Skywalker stories to come to an end so we can see what else this rich universe can show us. To all for you out there who hated this film: Take a deep breath and remember that it wasn't ever about you anyway.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a life long fan who was appalled at the prequels. I had very low expectations for Episode 7 and it was good, but I felt it was lacking. Rogue One was my favorite movie since the originals, and now Disney has delivered a work I believe deserves a place in my top three. This is the first movie that I feel actually scores on par with the original three movies. Do not listen to the naysayers. Frankly, I've read the bad user reviews and I cannot find any coherency in the outrage, nor do I share any of their opinions.

This movie does something that Star Wars has been lacking since the original 3 movies. It stands alone, yet is part of a greater story.

SPOILERS TO FOLLOW:

I have heard people complain about the casino planet. I found it refreshing that Star Wars would take on something as cerebral as arms manufacturers and point out that wars are always armed by the same people who are just exploiting division.

I have heard people complain that Snoke was wasted....... Snoke was never necessary in the first place. We didn't need another emperor. They could have just brought back clones of the true emperor. There was so much emotion in the scene with Snokes death. It was the perfect end.

I've heard people complain about Luke, but these people have obviously never explored any of the written works that were once cannon and are not now. Luke was always going to be tempted by the dark side and haunted by it well for he removed all the instruments of the dark from the universe (except for Snoke, whom I believe was a terrible character to begin with and one of my pet peeves from Episode 7. However, we could have used a little more back story, but I digress). There must be balance, and without balance Luke starts seeing the dark in Kylo Ren. He almost strikes Kylo down in anger. Brilliant. Luke was never perfect. I wanted to see his flaws, and this installment did not disappoint.

I've heard people complain that Luke didn't show off his power. What do you call him appearing from across the galaxy as he meditates on the ocean world of Ahch-To. I mean come on, not even Yoda pulled off a stunt like that. I'm glad they didn't have him bouncing around like a buffoon the way they did with Yoda in the prequels. I love the fact that they refocused the Force as a religion, and that Luke becomes a proponent of the death of the old religion. There has to be balance. The Jedi were not balance. The Jedi lead to the Sith. There answer is somewhere in between, and I hope that Episode 9 expands upon this.

All in all, Episode 8 is now top 3 Star Wars movies of all time.… Expand

Some story elements are amazing for example Snokes death is one of the best points because it puts Kylo Ren in command of the First order, I feel like this because I really don't think that you need a Palpatine type character in every trilogy.

For my opinion if we divide Episode VII and VIII we can totally find differences in all aspects. I think it based on work of director(J. J. Abrams was changed by Rian Johnson). And for me this change gives great result in common. And now step by step:
1. I'll recommend you watch Star Wars: Episode VIII in IMAX cinemas because for my opinion it's the best way how feel and be imbued with this film. Audio and picture are in directly high level. IMAX will help you find it.
2. When I had watched previous episode I definitely understood that this film will be some kind introduction to the new trilogy and in the next one we'll see something great. And it was right think. The plot is testing your nerves throughout the film and you never know what will be next, maybe In this aspect I thought about II and III episodes because plots of them were absolutely amazing. In my childhood, when I watched them, I was very worried about what would happen next. My body was shaking but my mind wanted more. Yesterday I felt same feeling so for me it's great success.
3. Cast. The new picture will continue to introduce new characters like Finn, Rey, Po, etc.(And actors coped with this task) But like a previous part of the saga it will also satisfy the appetite of old-school Star Wars fans and me actually too ( =) )

For conclusion I want add that we don't know about next part but I feel if they continue working in this direction(RIGHT DIRECTION) we will see absolutely amazing IX part of Star Wars saga.

His vision is a mix of black, white and the color of red blood sand (with salt) palette, of death and destruction. A Rebellion, still clinging to "Hope", pursued by the ultimate evil.

SNoke is snoke, a powerful force user that controls the First Order and Kylo Ren, that's it. Just like Palpatine even in ROTJ was the emperor that had force powers and controled Vader and the empire, that's it. But Snoke is dispatched without ceremony and the "Vader" of this generation gets to be the "emperor". The Sith are not "explained" in the OT none of it is, The Knights of Ren neither.

In ANH Luke was a nobody that was the son of a powerful user, Rey is someone that everybody thinks it's linked to that but it isn't, or is Kylo lying? In ESB half of the audience didn't believe Darth Vader why should Kylo be telling the truth?.

Obi Wan was a jedi knight that did nothing except confront vader and become all powerfull, Luke just did the same and in a cooler way.

In Ahn there's no reference to what controls what, nobody knows the extension of the empire, where the throne world is, nothing , neither on ESB.

ETC ETC ETC

Man , this movie is everything a Star Wars fan would want. Almost nothing got explained in the OT, just that luke was vaders and leias sister in the second and third movie.

I'm really happy they didn't explain a damn thing. This isn't grey's anatomy, this is STAR WARS.

The fanbase is spoiled if they want exposition. The emperor never nedeed exposition to be powerful.

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

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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [SPOILERS] Oh man, this is by far the worst Star Wars movie ever made. This is so poorly written and thought out that I can't even comprehend the stupidity with this film. Rian Johnson has absolutely 0 understanding of Star Wars and how the force is suppose to work; especially when it comes to the Jedi and the Sith. I'm not sure the dude has ever read a Star Wars book in his life. This was complete trash. The dude needs to read a few books, get high as **** and then watch every movie 1-6. Maybe then he will realize how poorly thought out this movie was. Unless Kylo was intentionally hiding his true power from Snoke by means of the force and intentionally looking weak then the death of Snoke makes absolutely 0 sense. Palpatine used the force to hide the presence of the dark side in him from the Jedi until he was finally able to rise to power and reveal him self as the Lord of the Sith. Sure, he killed his master in his sleep, but only after learning everything plagueis taught him or at least was willing to teach.

I hope this is a similar case with Kylo or this final trilogy is doomed.… 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.

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

The intent of this movie is to tear down the old Star Wars. Anything pre-Disney was treated with disdain and disrespect. This movie is insulting.

Very little world building when compared to the other Star Wars movies. Seemingly bland story that poorly reuses the plot from the previous trilogies while belittling their achievements.

Plot holes galore, poor humour, and really unbearable to watch midway. I've watched tons of movies and sadly episode 8 got me so bored that I was looking around and wondering when this movie will end. Sad to see the way such an amazing story go down like that.

This is how you nail the coffin shut. Sub-par writing with cardboard characters. The whole movie could have been an e-mail. Kathleen Kennedy and Disney have done what nobody thought possible; they killed Star Wars.

Worst Star Wars movie by far, looks good but has all the depth of a puddle, bad acting, terrible directing, ridiculous and insulting decisions made.
