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

The worst star wars movie came out in 2017, when Rian Johnson put the middle finger to star wars fans and don't EVER, and I mean EVER listen to critics, or your money will be wasted on this garbage.

It's with great sadness that I say that Last Jedi was a disappointment. It was overly long and bloated, wasting a good half hour on pointless scenes that the plot didn't need. Many scenes were literal recreations of pieces of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and the superfluous casino scene looked like a CGI prequel nightmare right out of Phantom Menace. But the most disappointing was how the story destroyed the long time character of iconic characters to make them unrecognizable and unlikeable. I agree with Mark Hamill's statement when he honestly said, "This was not Luke Skywalker. I had to pretend that I was playing a different person." So much of this movie destroyed what had come before for no discernable benefit. And audiences have responded. The movie has dropped like rock in its second week after the initial premiere rush, with awful Batman v Superman type box office numbers. When a Star Wars film is being compared to a DC movies bomb, you know they did something wrong. I can only hope that JJ Abrams fixes some of the damage this movie has done to the Star Wars brand in the next film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm 34yo and I loved the originals when I was a kid, watched them over and over and equally loved the prequels! Despite the acting, the prequels had many redeeming qualities such as a story that greatly expanded the universe of starwars, epic and unique soundtracks and awesome lightsaber battles. The new trilogy has none of them, this latest edition least of all. My issues with this film summed up:
- Really bad jokes that felt shoehorned in. The iron space ship, seriously? Why take the mick out of Slave 1? - A Janitor storm trooper that knows all the weaknesses of all the stations and battleships. Terrible strategy First Order. Educating all your storm troopers in how to take them down, great for when they defect or get captured.
- Tracking through hyperspace!? OMG! wait, so how did Jango Fett and Boba Fett track their targets decades ago then? - So Ray doesn't need any training to become a Jedi it seems. She is naturally good with a lightsaber despite never training with one. - Luke's first instinct was to murder Kylo? He turned Vader back to the light so he knows it could be done. - How did Leia get back into the ship after her little space walk without it sucking everyone out?
- Could Kylo be any worse at fighting with a lightsaber?
- So lasers have a range in space? That makes sense. - Also why not send out the small strike craft Hux? Where were all your bombers and tie fighters? Seriously!
- The aiming of the giant AT-ATs was atrocious when shooting at the salt ski things, I don't know how they survived.
- Purple Giraffe General seemed to take an eternity before deciding to help stop the transport ships from getting shot down.
- Phasma was utterly useless again. - Far too many misleading moments, they felt so cheap.
- The whole trip to the casino planet seemed pointless. What did Finn and co achieve? Got captured twice and released some animals. Such a hero.
- Second film in the trilogy with a snow (sigh salt) planet base getting assaulted by walkers. - Who was Snoke? Where did he come from? What was he up to when the Emperor was calling the shots?
- Po was useless.
- The entire film was pointless, it was filled with pointless failed missions that did not further the story in any way.
- The falcon seems to be in prime condition despite its age and obvious poor condition in the original trilogy.
- Far far far too many last minute save the day moments!! - Poor unmemorable soundtrack. Equally as bad as the Force Awakened, if not worse. It is obvious this trilogy has been designed for the sole purpose of making money. Forget telling a great story, it seems Disney only cares about the money. It has been dumbed down to cater for the younger generation at the expense of the older generation that grew up with Star Wars. Makes sense as a business point of view, after all they will out live us oldens. For the record though, I loved Rogue One!… Expand

Disney, Rian Johnson and anybody involved with this nonsense of a film should look it up. I don't care if you want to make Luke a depressed grump, throw the Jedi/Sith concepts in the trash and totally disregard all plot and character points from the previous film in the series. It's stupid but if that's what you want to do then fine. As long as these drastic changes have reasons behind them and as long as those reasons are *consistent* with the existing story, plot and characters then it's all good. If you pivot everything toward these ridiculous (and boring) new plot points and character personalities while giving reasons that are *also inconsistent* with the established story thread, then you're just being flat out lazy.

It's worth noting that I haven't not enjoyed a Star Wars film until this one.

A grand disappointment. Not faithful to the lore, setting, characters, theme, story, or legacy of the original trilogy. If the writer's goal was to make a worse script than the prequel's, then congratulations. They succeeded.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie does not feel like a Star Wars movie. Well established universe rules get broken, some of the lore (casino planet) feels more like The 5th Element than Star Wars. But the worse of all is the constant failed attempts at humor. I got pulled out of the immersion 3 minutes into the movie: There is a yo-mamma "joke". Comedy does not get any better as the movies goes on, with a borderline Spaceballs scene included (https://i.imgur.com/VkxjYnE.gif). The final nail in the coffin was the Luke Skywalker's character assassination.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's an awful film, not because of the acting, but from the horrendously bad writing of Rian Johnson. Forced humor that drains the tension from the film is everywhere along with the obvious characters/creatures created purely for merchandising. The First Order went from being a Galaxy threatening force to just a few ships that can't catch, destroy or out maneuver Rebel ships. Huxley is now a buffoon, existing for no other reason than forced comedy. Phasma is just as underused and pointless as ever. Rey is even more of a Mary Sue than before, she's better at everything than anybody else in the galaxy, never needs training and therefore there is no danger or tension any time she's on screen. Mark Hamill plays someone called Luke, but it's definitely not Luke Skywalker from the original trilogy. Snoke, the big mysterious bad guy is literally wasted. Leia is Mary Poppins as she flies through the vacuum of space. Fin and Rose are absolutely pointless in this film, their whole side adventure is poorly written and serves no purpose. Benicio Del Toro is wasted, like everyone else. How Rian Johnson handled Luke is just a middle finger to fans.

Rian Johnson doesn't understand how the vacuum of space works. Ships (bombers) move slowly through space even though weight has no bearing on speed at sub light. Rebel ships are "faster" than First Order ships, but they only get outside of firing range and then match speed...? Leia opens a door to the destroyed bridge and the hallway with people in it does not explosively decompress. ???

The whole movie is a long, boring chase sequence in space that is the most disrespecting and poorly written dumpster fire in Hollywood history. You're not missing anything if you haven't seen it. It's trash and Rian Johnson should be banned from the franchise.… Expand

Erratic and messy execution and build up of the story/plot. Preachy when it comes to morality. Characters that simply aren't engaging, as they have little if any personality. Sloppy dialogue. I could go on... Horrendous. Wish I could unsee it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. George Lucas has his revenge now that Rian Johnson has made the worst Star Wars film of all time.

After the prequels were completed, George Lucas refused to make another Star Wars film. The fans were upset about the CG in the film and upset that George Lucas felt that Jar Jar Binks was a great character - the fans thought Jar Jar was annoying. After seeing The Last Jedi, however, I only have one thing to say, “George Lucas, you are forgiven.” It is only fitting that George Lucas has his revenge and make his hero’s journey triumphant to Star Wars and that the fans are more upset with Rian Johnson who was given almost full artistic control of the script mess that is The Last Jedi.

After viewing The Last Jedi I felt like quoting Ben Kenobi, “I sensed as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.” It's also as if a fandom was upset, if only slightly because it is the greatest franchise in history, and it seemed like the script was written by a man who is not a Star Wars fan.

The script is what I feel to be the biggest problem with the film. The character ‘modification’ of Luke, everyone’s favorite Jedi is unnecessary to advance the plot. In this ‘exciting’ script, Luke goes against the Jedi way and apparently tries to kill Leia’s defenseless child and later is reduced to a weak old geezer who’s daily chore is to milk an alien space cow for greenish milk so that he could drink it in a glamorous way like the Got Milk commercials so that the audience would think its ‘funny’. Let me tell you something Rian, having the greatest Jedi of all time drink green milk in a glamorous way is not ’funny’ lol. Actually, I’m laughing that it will probably be the highlight of the film and should have been in the trailer, but I do find this lack of character continuity disturbing. Another problem is that Chewy is a morbid porg killer which also seems unnecessary to advance the plot and out of character, eating the cute pets that live in the Millenium Falcon. All of these story elements just don’t seem very Disney, tho they bought the Star Wars Franchise and they do have the right to totally mess up Star Wars if they desire, which I am sure is their complete diabolical vision for Star Wars. Perhaps most interesting of my theatre experience of watching The Last Jedi wasn’t on screen, but it was something I’ve never seen before. A man was on his cell phone the entire time in the theatre and nobody said anything. He left halfway thru but then came back for some reason just to surf on his cellphone during the movie. Its as if he didn’t want to leave but also didn’t want to partially miss the movie while looking up from his cellphone every 15 minutes. I am surprised no one said anything to him about his cell phone during the film but now I empathize with him and I’m sure the whole audience understands now what he understood then. This film is an entire snooze-fest.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FYI: I'm not a bot John Campea/Collider Crew... Watched the film twice. The first time I was overwhelmed by what I saw so I knew I needed to see it again. After I watched it for a second time I started to have real issues with it besides Luke's character arc. Major plot points set up in TFA are never answered or just brushed to the side... The logic of Star Wars was completely changed... Somehow force ghosts can affect the world, and you no longer need training to use the force in advanced ways... Hell, even LEIA CAN SOMEHOW FLY THROUGH SPACE... HOW?? Also the writing in this film is poor... Finn's storyline could've been cut out with Rey doing actual training. Instead we got forced political themes like animal cruelty and capitalism.. Which is completely funny because it's DISNEY... The company that is turning into a monopoly... Anyways, the movie was visually stunning and felt like Star Wars, but the fact that the characters haven't progressed at all in this second film makes me less excited for the finale of the trilogy. Also... Luke milking **** WHY!!!!!!… Expand

I'll try to keep my review spoiler free. Let's start with the beginning. So apparently in like a 1 month time frame or something the Resistance has gone from a tremendous victory against an already crumbling successor to the Empire to being almost completely and utterly wiped out and is in flight for its life. That already is a preposterous set up.

Then, also, Leia, for some reason, some how, with no explanation, is all of a sudden a competent Force user and manages to save her life and doing other fancy things using the Force. Then the movie is 152 minutes long, that's not bad in itself but most of the movie is filler. It was like they reached the 2 hour mark and the director was like "this isn't long enough, let's add a new sub-plot that leads to absolutely nowhere and accomplished almost literally nothing." That's right, the whole Finn-Rose ark is actually completely pointless and nothing comes of it whatsoever, and it's probably almost a third of the movie.

Also the director has apparently never heard of character death. So many points in this movie would be improved if some protagonist died or made a sacrifice or things fell through. However every single time this is about to happen, even after you think it happens, everything turns out fine because plot armor. There are multiple points where characters should in no reasonable way been able to do what they did or survive what happened but hey, they're the good guys, so they gotta live.

If this movie was 45 minutes shorter and they cut out the utterly pointless Finn-Rose ark I would have given it a 5 instead.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'll just list the mind boggling plot holes that are enraging.

Rebel ships can go slower or faster in space where there is no weight, gravity or inertia. Having to constantly burn fuel, even when not accelerating. Bombs dropping from bombers without gravity (maybe propulsion down?? maybe). FO ships can just light jump ahead or out and back in to catch the rebels. FO bombardment shots rising and falling as they are magically pulled down by gravity in space.
Allowing your entire fleet to die one at a time instead of jumping in 4 different directions. The big ship won't track them all and they knew they were being tracked. FLYING **** LEIA.
PURPLE HAIR LESBIAN NOT SAYING A THING TO POEabout her dumb plan(who is suppose to be their lead fighter commander, a senior(ish) officer in general, and the information is not dangerous at all. The Finn and Rose plotline is a horrendous sideshow which acts as its own crappy kid's movie. Adds nothing to the plot and makes no sense. How can Rey swim when she grew up on a sand, desert planet?
Why did luke leave a map for people to find him, if he went to die?
I GUESS THE RESISTENCE WAS AND IS THE REPUBLIC AND THEY CONSIST OF JUST 5 PLANETS FROM TFA AND 4 SPACE SHIPS. where is the galactic outrage or swelling of troops from the starkiller base attack on the republic? Where is the republic fleets and soldiers and other planets? You're telling me in a matter of days or weeks the first order conquered the galaxy? Luke wanting to kill Kylo, when he wouldnt even turn on his evil dad and it actually worked turning the good inside of him back out. So no reason he wouldnt pursue the good in kylo. THE LACK OF BATTLES THAT ARE MEANINGFUL OR VISUAL OR ACTION PACKED.
oh our plan is to run, then run to a planet and hide behind a door... how retarded... but a purple haired lesbian did concieve it.
IN ROGUE ONE THE REBEL SHIPS JUMP TO LIGHT SPEED AND CRASH INTO THE STAR DESTROYER, BUT NOW A SHIP CAN JUMP TO HYPERDRIVE AND DECIMATE AN ENTIRE FLEET. people will say it is because its a bigger more shielded ship, but Snoke's ship is way way bigger than it, just like in rogue one. Total **** and if one ship can do that, it woulda been done in losing battles years ago. Why not hyperdrive thru the death star? STUPID!
Why didnt the FO just hyperdrive in the 30 seconds or so they knew what holdo was going to do?
Porgs and Sea cow tit milk....
The DJ character knowing about the rebel plan... impossible. The fact that the FO couldnt even see, scan or hypothesize what the rebels were doing running to a planet, also asinine.
THE AVATAR PROJECTION LUKE AND BATTLE...dumb and meant to trick by deus ex machina
Rose turning around and catching up to side swipe Finn impossible.
Rose and Finn not dying in the crash or from subsequent AT-AT fire... dumb
Rose and finn love affair...dumb
Finn dragging fatass shrek back thru the battlefield to the base dumb. So much **** dumb dumb dumb. So much more, but Im out of patience. Total, utter **** especially for star wars. Logically and rationally unsound.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only an awful movie in it’s own right, but an absolutely Terrible Star Wars film. If you are a true Star Wars aficionado you will hate this movie with a passion that can only be matched by the Phantom Menace. Established canon is ignored and Luke Skywalker's character is butchered beyond recognition by Johnson. I spent the entire movie waiting to see "Jedi Master" Luke kick dark side butt and although Hamill gives a great performance even he can't lift the absolutely terrible story Johnson has written for him. I very much agree with Hamill that I fundamentally disagree with every choice he made for Luke's character. For gods sake Rian, didn't you think it might be a good idea to listen to a man who pretty much IS Star Wars? For a movie with so much potential you are left feeling that Rian Johnson made a list of the top 100 ways to infuriate the fans and included every single one into this absolute pile of dross. Sure its funny in parts and the Porgs are cute as a button, but despite a good performance by Ridley, Rey's character is yawn worthy and appears to suddenly be gifted the powers of a Jedi Master without any kind of training. Given that the Skywalker family are more or less born of the force and none of them could magically attain their powers this seems like utter crap and will leave you frustrated and despondent. I was so looking forward to Luke "passing on what he has learned" but Johnson somehow didn't seem to think that this was necessary either! The casino scene is utterly pointless and reeks of the over the top CGI nonsense of the Prequels. Rose is also an irritating and unnecessary character who does as much to ruin the film as Young Anakin did in Episode I. I actually wanted to slap her after the line "Now it’s worth it" As if those creatures are actually going to go free. The bad guys have speeders and starships you stupid girl! Johnson didn't seem to know what to do with Finn's character and seems to have written in a totally arbitrary side story just to give him a part, which is a shame as I loved the chemistry between him and Rey in Force Awakens and there was so much opportunity to develop it further in this movie. In fact on reflection I agree with many other fans that this movie is as bad a Star Wars movie, if not worse, than the prequels (maybe not episode I) and really sticks its fingers up to the established canon of the original trilogy and the expanded universe as a whole, which in my view is absolutely unforgivable. Since when could blue glowies interact with normal matter! And are you really suggesting that a Jedi Master as powerful as Luke Skywalker supposedly is could magically die just because he was projecting himself using the force... Utter utter **** No expanded universe author would get away with doing this so how has Rian Johnson been allowed. When are Disney going to learn not to fix what ain't broke! Snoke is killed off far too easily and its frustrating beyond belief that we don't learn his identity (I think all the fans were hoping for Darth Plagus which would have tied in beautifully with the prequels and explained how there was suddenly this ultra powerful Sith Lord floating about) The chase between the First Order and the rebel fleet is ridiculous beyond belief, ignores the laws of Physics and leaves so many plot holes that you will find yourself bored and frustrated, since when were Mon Calamari cruisers supposed to be so fast? and why is it that Medical Frigates and other support ships seem to also be magically gifted this power just by virtue of being associated with them? Whilst its truly great to have more strong female characters and I would have loved to have seen more of "Jedi" Leia, Vice Admiral Holdo is arrogant and incompetent and you are left feeling that she is a "stupid woman" rather than the strong female leader they should have given us. Mon Mothma would never have been so arrogant or idiotic! The whole escape could have gone much more simply had she just revealed her plan from the get-go instead of pointlessly frustrating Poe. How dare Rian Johnson call himself a Fan! Please Disney don't let him anywhere near the Star Wars universe ever again. The critic that claimed that this movie was just as good as Empire should be taken outside and shot for getting our hopes up. Comparing Irvin Kershner's masterpiece to this utter nonsense is nothing short of blasphemy.… Expand

Another point for sound design. Great music and great sound effects. That's it. Everything else about this movie is atrocious. TLJ is literally one of the worst movies I've ever watched in my life. It's not even about it being a bad Star Wars movie, it's just a bad movie PERIOD.

The plot is nonsensical and the characters are very poorly written. There is so much wrong with this movie 5000 characters won't cut it. If you wanna know how truly awful this movie is, go on YouTube and just type "The Last Jedi Review" and you'll see how garbage this thing is.

This movie is so poorly written that you will literally feel insulted when you watch it. You'll ask yourself "is this how stupid Star Wars' producers think we are, that we'll eat up this garbage?"

It's like the SW board of directors got together, made a long list of things they wanna see in TLJ, and then told the production team "make sure everything in that list is in there; nothing else matters. Butcher the story if you have to just make sure this list is complete".

Awful. It's so bad that I'm literally not gonna watch anymore SW movies. SW movies were never AMAZING to begin with or anything, but they were NEVER.THIS.BAD.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MY EYEBALLS ENJOYED WATCHING IT, BUT MY BRAIN WOULDN'T LET ME REALLY LIKE IT.

I went into this movie with zero opinions. Didn't read anything about it, didn't follow it at all.

The greatest improvement of The Last Jedi over The Force Awakens is that it didn't copy it's original trilogy counterpart as much, though there were still plenty of plagiarized scenes with throw away lines that tried to unconvincingly tell you that this is totally not the same as Empire.

The visuals were gorgeous, and there were a couple of real heartwarming moments, but once you've seen it, your mind will start to review what you've seen and come to the conclusion that in all other ways this movie is basically a tire fire.

Mark Hamill's return as the grumpy old Luke-alike was well done and I thoroughly enjoyed him, as long as you ignore that all of the events leading up to his self-exile were an enormous character assassination.

Rey is more of a Mary Sue now than even the definition of the trope can explain because it's amplified by her ridiculous mastery of the Force... but she is charming, like a Mary Sue should be.

Finn and Rose's entire subplot might as well not exist and the movie would have been better served using the 40 minutes of that on actually making the rest good and filling in the plot chasms.

Poe Dameron was OK. Under the circumstances he was behaving like any critically thinking person should, even though the movie will try to tell you otherwise.

The writing, structure, and editing of this movie is easily the worst of any Star Wars. Cringe worthy lines occur regularly, and stupid jokes that break dramatic scenes and then don't land well for most of the audience are sprinkled throughout. Character development is basically non-existent for anybody, new or old. It basically insults your intelligence but you don't notice at the time because of the eye candy.

World building that keeps the fantastical elements of Star Wars within reason and believable has gone completely out the window for the sake of spectacle. I guess if you wanted to distance your Star Wars from old Star Wars you would do something like this movie, but it can't even maintain continuity within itself, let alone from its direct prequel. It breaks all of the rules of Star Wars that keep it grounded in a believable world. It's like the director looked at what was done before, lit it all on fire, and wrote his own fan fiction.

Plot points and teasers set up in Force Awakens go untouched, or blatantly discarded. Who's Snoke and where did he come from? Doesn't matter, he's out. Rey's parents? Forget it, they are nobody. Kylo's mask and his persona of intimidation? Get rid of it because the old guy made fun of him. Finn got his spine raked by a lightsaber and goes into a coma? Nah he wakes up and shows no signs of being injured at all despite the fact that the time between the two movies appears to be less than a week. Why would Luke leave a map to find him if he left to go die in a corner? Captain Phasma? Still a non-character with like 4 lines between two movies; a shiny suit to sell merchandise that may as well not even have anybody inside and it wouldn't make a difference (strong female characters ftw?). Knights of Ren? Who now? Nobody came after you sent the distress call? No duh. Hyperspace travel isn't instantaneous, and you gave them all of 5 minutes to get there before leaving.

This movie didn't just take a dump on the original trilogy, it took a dump on its own trilogy. I wasn't a fan of FA because I walked out of it thinking, "I've seen this movie already." It was just A New Hope with modern visuals, and I guess some people are fine with that (I can't fault the visuals), but I wanted new content. In hindsight, however, The Last Jedi is inferior to The Force Awakens in every way, which is the saddest story of all. JJ Abrams will try to repair what has been done by this movie, but he will fail spectacularly because Rian Johnson is a complete tool.

This new trilogy is officially not Star Wars to me. I just don't care about anything in it. The story is completely inconsequential and I don't care about any of these characters or what they're going to do now. It's not canon. The real canon is the Expanded Universe and TV series. This new stuff is children playing with forces they don't understand.

1 point for Mark Hamill's performance.
1 point for production values.
1 point for Rian Johnson not doing EP9.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It’s the worst movie in the Star Wars saga by far. The plot is empty and the movie ends exactly where it started, except for some killings during some battles. None of the questions left by The Force Awakens find an answer: where does Rey came from? Why is Rey so close to the Force? Who are the Knights of Ren? Where does Snoke came from? Rey barely begin her apprentice as a Jedi, making no progress from TFA. What about Kylo? For the whole movie it seems like he’s going to fall with the light side, then wakes up and gets evil. Instead of the typical British humor director Rian Johnson used a blatant American humor that was way too off contest. It was interesting to see both good and evil for each character, but this is all I found good in the whole movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw this film on the first Monday. It’s now Friday. I’ve had a few days to collect my thoughts. This was the biggest disappointment of my movie going life. This is the worse SW film ever made. Now before you think I’m whining that it didn’t turn out like I thought it would, let me just say, I expected it to be different than any preconceived notions or ideas that i may have had... I enjoy that. I want to be surprised. I didn’t need Luke flying over the screen against a 1000 storm troopers to be happy. What I needed was good writing. That’s it. I’m actually a film producer, not on the scale of SW, but I make movies, and I know the process of creating a story for audiences and how difficult it is to do it well. Rian Johnson not only betrayed the SW franchise but he is a terrible writer. Terrible. I’m sorry. Maybe he’s a nice guy. But how he ruined this beloved franchise is inexcusable. The entire story takes place over the course of about 12-24 hours, something like that, and is essentially one long chase scene. Except The chase only “works” if you change the rules... to a preposterous set of rules to where light speed is a weapon (which should have been used at other times because it’s sooooo effective), shields that are basically indestructible, sensors that can’t see smaller ships that are right in front of them, it’s a chase but it’s conceivably the slowest chase in history... it’s just soooo stupid, and that’s just the chase scene. Every facet of this movie makes no sense. Kilo now is the big baddie but he’s already lost to Rey so he’s not menacing at all. Rey has no arc. She has no progression. Luke’s character, who saw the good in his dad, refuses to kill him, and even lays down his life in front of the emperor for truth and righteousness, is now a weirdo who almost murders his nephew, well at least thought about it, is a whiner, and worthless. It’s not a gotch’a look how creative I am... it’s stupid weak writing. It’s inconsistent. Such a travesty what they did to Mark’s character. For the people think that RJ is a genius for switching things up, i submit this, why doesn’t the next director of the James Bond franchise make his character into a Harry Potter wizard-like character because that would be so bold and cutting edge! They won’t because it’s idiotic and stupid. But that is what RJ did. He took everything that Lucas built, and every setup from JJ and threw it over his shoulder like a piece of trash (just like Luke). It wasn’t inventive. It was weak. I don’t even care about the back story of snoke or Rey... that ultimately doesn’t matter. What matters is struggle, the dynamics, between characters. And the most evil of evil now in this franchise is two white skinny males who are whinny brats who have already been bested. So going into episode 9 there is no suspense... no weight, because we know those two idiots will fail, because they have already failed. The emperor kept winning until his pride didn’t see the spark of goodness of Vader... that was his downfall. All was lost until Vader decided one time to do good. Very powerful. Right now we have the weakest setup for a new movie ever in a big franchise. Such stupidity by RJ and Kennedy. I could have put my team together of writers and producers, and made a film that would have been awesome yet unpredictable and satisfying for fans and new commers. I would have respected the franchise instead of crapping all over it. Thanks RJ for nothing. Unreal.… Expand

1. Bombs drop in space?
2. Mary Poppins Leia
3. Leia at beginning of the film is disappointed with Poe because he got twelve ships killed while taking out a dreadnaught, a ship that has hundreds of other ships and can decimate bases. Leia doesn't think 12 ships is worth that...
4. Finn and Rose's storyline is useless and a waste of my life i will never get back
5. Admiral Holdo (purple hair) starts conflict off with Poe when all he wants to know is WTF are they gonna do
6. Leia Tells Poe what the plan is when he awakes on the escape pods and he is like "oh, yeah that make perfect sense." Why didn't Holdo just tell him the **** plan
7. Luke only gives Two lessons
8. Snokes monologue about how he can see into Kylo's mind the perceives to get stab by a light saber that Kylo is controlling next to him...HOW THE ABSOLUTE **** DID YOU NOT SEE THAT?
9. Luke's death should've have been Kylo striking down Luke but before he does Luke saying the same phrase as Obi-Wan Kenobi when he was stuck down by Vader
10. The fight with Finn and Phasma is a joke, Phasma is supposed to be this Badass next Boba Fett type for the series but has gotten her ass handed to her twice by Finn a Trooper who used to mop floors...
11. The Title of the movie and what Luke was trying to teach Rey is that all things have the force and the Jedi should stop using it as their own, therefore the Jedi should die, and nothing is good or evil everything is both, but at the end of the movie we still have both Jedi and Sith, NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

(1) They were paid; or (2) they spend their free time fellating Rian Johnson (maybe both). This movie sucked. Plain and simple. With so many plot holes and pointless scenes and story lines, the max score should have been a 35 and that's being very generous. The can't even get the synopsis right - "Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker" - WRONG. Luke spends the entire movie **** about the Jedi and doesn't train Rey at all. Yet she inexplicably becomes stronger. What a joke. And this is accompanied by a slow speed chase through space where the First Order simply waits for the Rebel ships to run out of gas. Yeah you read that right. Forget sending 1 or 2 of many ships ahead because the movie would have been over in 45 mins.

I want to make it clear that I actually like the actors playing the characters and think they've done the best they could do...so 2 stars, not 1...
...for an effing garbage pile of a movie. And if those who made it hadn't tried their damnedest to paint the entirety of the fanbase as racist, pouting fanboys based on a small percentage of that fanbase, then I wouldn't have done my damnedest to write reviews on every single review site I could find proclaiming this movie as **** You're welcome Darth Disney.… Expand

DISGRACEFUL what they did to Mark Hamills character Luke Skywalker. He clearly hated the direction of his character and the movies, what a waist no imagination what so ever. I do not care about any of the remaining characters, even Rey isnt related to anyone she is a nobody, so why should we give a Shi* No point going into any more details this movie was disgusting, hopefully J.J. Abrams can fix this cluster FUC* for the last movie. RIAN JOHNSON should never have anything to do with any movies or tv shows or any form of entertainment ever again.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Not only a whole lot of wasted opportunity, but far too much stupidity mixed in. Some good visuals (I like the modified AT-ATs) and a few good moments, but they're lost in the overall morass of mediocrity. Setups from TFA: wasted. Finn's character arc: wasted. Snoke: wasted. Rey's origin: wasted. Luke: wasted. Light-saber battle: lumbering, pedestrian choreography. NR backstory: non-existent. Incompetent + cringe-worthy leadership and decision-making from the Resistance. Was it bad that I started rooting for the First Order?

What are we left with? Ren and Hux are joke antagonists. There is no credible threat against M'Rey Sue protagonist. Finn is now a clown, having been given an excellent start in TFA. Chewie and Poe are about the only ones left worth watching, and they're secondary characters. So what's the draw for Ep IX? Meh.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not really a Star Wars film. There are no heroes here, or well developed villains, no cool light saber fights or amazing star battles. Even in in terms of being a regular sci-fi film there are so many questions. There are so many distracting and head scratching moments in this film - I cant believe these ideas got past storybording given the budget of this film. The director of this film shows no regard for the past of SW and no care for its future. Avoid this film if you want to keep thinking of Luke as hero rather than a coward, and Leia as a brave leader rather than a bystander. Sadly, Porgs are probably the best thing about the film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars: The Last Rites. As a movie it's just not very good, as a Star Wars movie it's a travesty - the tone is so jarring and incompatible with all that proceeded it that I never once forgot that I was sitting in a movie theatre the entire time.

For me it's the worst of the series. I was actually bored for the first time watching a Star Wars movie. I'm giving 1 point for Luke's very brief interaction with R2 on the falcon which was one of the only points that made me feel anything.

I have to say this movie was CRAP!!!
It was a shameless attempt to SHOVE the social and political issues of the day down the throat of viewers who went looking for an escape of both those things.

It was a shameless attempt to SHOVE the social and political issues of the day down the throat of viewers who went looking for an escape of both those things.
If any of the producers/directors/writers are reading these posts, then this I'm willing to bet is the MAIN reason why the viewers have scored this movie so low.
I NEVER take the word of those STUPID movie critics, I go see for myself especially when I darn well know that a lot of them get paid to PROMOTE movies not give a brave and honest opinion on them. Anyhow, I HATED THIS MOVIE from the very beginning when I noticed the social and political statement they were PUSHING from the time the movie started. Now I love to take about politics and social issues. I very much enjoy the a mentally stimulating conversation/discussion about issues of the day but that is why they've made documentaries which I also love to watch. When one goes to the movies, one is looking to be entertain and especially to escape the issues of the day NOT have them SHOVED down your throat.

I've read many reviews on here and had to write this one due to some of the hypocrisy I read form many men on here. The biggest one was them saying I didn't see gender or didn't see a problem with the OVERTLY and ridiculous exaggeration of gender roles in this movie. Every character who had some importance or level of respect was only a woman. Men were made to seem as not as smart, incompetent and unable to control their emotions a la Luke Skywalker.
This reminded me of people who when confronted with the subject of race first blurt out "I SEE NO COLOR" or " MY BEST FRIEND IS BLACK" such crap!!!
Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with women in positions of power or in leadership roles, if you got it you got it, I'm not into holding back talent BUT this movie and its characters were not about that. I know what I'm saying, I've experience these things as a middle age black man. I know there were arguments in the past about Hollywood not having enough people of color in lead roles or as super heroes as well as women. In my view there has been good and steady progress in both arenas. I have seen good and exciting lead roles and superhero roles played by both people or color (minorities/black) and women alike, that glass ceiling was broken a while ago and there has been steady improvements ever since.
With that said, there was NO REASON to do this and I am willing to bet that this is the main reason why this movie scored so low and I bet it's the lowest scoring Star Wars movie by far.

As far as the other comments about the story lines not making sense and the characters not being developed well I fully agree with. There were too many important characters getting eliminated without their stories, past and roles being developed at all. Snoke for one was killed off too quickly, Captain Phasma just made what amounts to be a cameo appearance, DJ the same could be said for that character, the so called master code breaker, etc.
Bottom line, is this was a poorly executed movie with nothing but a transparent social and political agenda of the day. The original Star Wars movies NEVER injected the political and social issues of the day in such a disgusting way.… Expand

Instead of pushing characters into new and bold directions, it is just more of the same and some character-arcs seem to be copied and pasted from the last instalment. The Pacing and tone of the movie are all over the place, and hugely dramatic scenes with high stakes (or so the movie wants us to believe) are intercut with humorous bits of droid-shenanigans. Some of the characters start to behave erratically and the internal logic of the cinematic Star Wars universe is pushed to the sidelines in favor of cheap, but visually impressive crowd-pleasers. Yes, I'm talking about that one splitting scene that will cause every single person to ask "Why haven't they done that stuff in the old movies?".

With this being a second act of a trilogy, it plays much more like a third act and leaves little to nothing to do for the characters in the next film. The shadow of what this movie could have been looms heavy, and ultimately forces me to retitle it to "Episode VIII: The Wasted Potential".… Expand

Had Rian Johnson spent more time developing a plot, rather than "subverting our expectations", as approving critics would say, thereby creating a nonsensical dumpster fire of a story, writing Marvel-type jokes for otherwise serious scenes, and stuffing Disney's political agenda down our throats once again, perhaps this movie could have been mediocre.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Instead of nit-picking everything wrong with The Last Jedi (of which there are many), let me share what I think is the main issue with both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.

In Episodes IV, V, VI, we quickly formed a strong bond with Luke, Han, and Leia. The character development was good and we actually cared about those characters. In extension, we came to care about R2-D2 and 3-CPO because of the excellent interaction they had with the other human characters. We cared about Chewbacca because of his interaction with Han. These were all characters that meant something to the viewer. This bond happened quickly, strongly, and stayed strong throughout the entire three episodes. Obe-Wan Kenobe and Yoda were mysterious, mystic, powerful characters that we yearned to know more about. They became more important as they interacted with the other characters - especially Luke. We grew to care about them as well. The main antagonist was mysterious, dark, evil, with just enough light within him to make the character very intriguing. We wanted to see how the fight between good and evil would turn out between the good characters we cared about and the powerful and evil Darth Vader and his troops. Fast forward to Episode VII. The writers had so little confidence in their abilities to produce new characters on the same level as Luke, Leia, and Han that they decided to actually bring back the old characters. And they ruined them in the process. They were not able to keep the magic that those characters brought in the first place. Their characters were largely wasted - especially Luke who was not only wasted but disrespectfully trashed. R2-D2 and 3-CPO have basically been forgotten in the recent episodes. They cannot be the same without their interactions with Luke and other main characters. Even Chewbacca cannot be close to the same with his great interactions with Han.

The main problem for director Abrams in Episode IX is that there are no characters left that viewers are really connected to. Rey, Finn, and Poe have been so poorly developed that they are but a fraction of what Luke, Han, and Leia were. The viewers are so disconnected from them that many don't even care if they live or die. The emotional attachment just isn't on the same level as with Luke, Leia, and Han. The antagonist, Snoke, - who was killed off in the most laughably ridiculous manner - was never a menacing character anyway. He was certainly no Darth Vader. Kylo Ren - is played well by Adam Driver - is likely the best character in the new generation. However, he, too, is no Darth Vader. This is not the same level of doom and foreboding. So, how does director Abrams make a compelling episode IX? The sad answer is . . . he doesn't. There is no way that Episode IX can work because the proper development of the characters and story never occurred in the previous two episodes leading up to it. And that is the main problem that will likely doom these three episodes as failures.… Expand

All the elements that were built up in the previous movie were discarded in very unsatisfying manners. There are several very large plot holes and even little actions throughout the movie have terrible motivation--even the basic science of the universe is discarded. On the plus side, the actors playing Rey and Kylo continue to show that they are phenomenal actors and they actually have some interesting interactions in this show. That's the part everyone likes. But the movie overall was so destructive we would be better of if it had not been created because it changes the universe to make existing movies worse. I'd say it's as bad as or worse than the prequels in that regard.

Score: awful. Not only is it not a good movie, it actively makes our world worse.… Expand

There are always differences of opinion depending on what you want out of a movie, but watching people write about how they convinced themselves this movie succeeded in any way has been outside the normal range. It’s a little bizarre honestly, and fairly excruciating to listen to the phrases being turned to try to explain how this film wasn’t a failure. It wasn’t even impressively bad, it’s just boring and mediocre and uncomfortable. Be honest people, this doesn’t “turn the franchise on its head” or any other stupid euphemism, it’s an insecure and cynical mess that confuses self-ridicule with innovation and tries to be non-formulaic by setting up suggestive premises and then going nowhere with them. It’s like the creators are constantly daring the audience to care about where things are going and seeing how many times they can make you think this movie will eventually go anywhere before you just give up and start zoning out on special FX. Even the parts that deserve some appreciation don’t work well. The sequence on the Las Vegas-style resort world, notwithstanding that it’s completely superfluous to the plot, points out that many people are profiting from the war by selling arms to both sides. I appreciate that the story went out of its way to make that point, but if you are going to use fantasy to provide insight into reality, don’t do it by trying to out-realize reality. If I want to see war profiteering, I’ll just watch the news. This would not have been a hard movie to get right, but instead of the characters evolving naturally they just get repeatedly slammed through these disjointed scenarios ostensibly written to convince you that this isn’t “the same old Star Wars”. I was not a big Force Awakens fan and I don’t want the same old Star Wars, but this movie feels like being in a room full of friends that have lost interest in each other and are killing time by self-consciously making fun of themselves for trying too hard. The prequel trilogy was amateurish, but at least it had a plot and believed in where it was going. This movie might be the biggest flop of the bunch. Hey, sometimes your college try just doesn’t land and you get a real stinker. Life goes on, just stop with this weird insistence that this movie somehow accomplished anything beyond set design.… Expand

This once again did not follow the canon of the books and the EU which needs to happen. The books are great and it's what the real fans want. The new fans will then also see how great the books are and it will encourage more reading of the EU.
