They could have cut out around 40% of the content and it never would have hurt, especially the scenes like the casino that feel like diseny not like star wars, never did a scene so badly need a Hutt and there wasn't one to be found anywhere. The whole thing felt like it was preparing for a disney themed ride. They could never be satisifed with a one off witty comment, but had to include multiple joke beats back and forth beating a dead horse. The highlight moment of the film quickly palls as Kylo Ren goes from being actually scary and interesting as a Sith back to being a whiny little tantrum throwing crybaby. Luke's entire acting felt uninspired and I can understand why given that it was basically a deconstruction of his original character. This movie went through three directors, and it really really shows, as the conflict between 'don't believe in past heroes' and 'listen to your elders and betters' waves back and forth so hard it gives whiplash.

That said, it had some amazing action sequences, pity they were so few and far between because they were by far the strongest points in the movie.

All in all, this movie was strongest, sadly, when it felt like it was directly reskinning parts of The Empire Strikes back. The planet where the battle goes down with At-Ats and such is so close to Hoth that they literally had to have some guy lick the white ground and say 'it's salt' to make it clear this wasn't a snowy frozen world. This thing copies Empire almost scene for scene in places, with new characters and a new skin, and but has completely changed the underlying message of the story while keeping the same general plot structure.

I can't say it was horrible, but it was definitely not starwars, and it's left me sad for the ending of the trilogy. Maybe if they could get a single director to stop **** around and just run with the old 'saturday morning matinee' flair the originals had, it would work, but directly copying the plot structure without the inherent techniques will never make this work.… Expand

Or lets you are just a fan of the movies, meaning all seven then you should still disagree with the choices made for this episode. Only people I see liking this movie are those who never seen Star Wars or know absolutely nothing about the cannon. Sad cause this director took years upon years of not only a great series but beliefs that have been developed for some people most of their lives and basically through it out the window. I'm surprised Disney allowed these type of changes. After all of the work put into tying the cartoons like Rebels and The Clone Wars alongside the movies, THEN to allow this tragedy to occur is ridiculous and sad. The excuse of stating we are trying to get away from the Skywalker era is poor, you can easily do so and make still make it interesting. I mean even Star Wars Rogue which was a hit had only one Sith appear and was only for a short time and was done so in order to tie it in with another movie. I honestly just do not understand why this was allowed to happen, shame on you Disney and thanks Rian you are now part of JJ Abrams, I am here to destroy legendary hits.… Expand

The story was uncreative with bland heroes and villains. Luke Skywalker is now scared of Kylo Ren. That is way outside his character. How could they screw up Luke Skywalker? I swear that Disney is bribing the critics to give it high scores. They need to repay us fans by writing two more actual movies. They should just let an autistic two-year-old write Star Wars. It would end up better that way. F*ck you Disney. This isn't even an opinion. This is fact. This movie is objectively bad. Do not waste your money on this. This gets a zero. I've never trusted professional critics and will never trust them ever.

To the "people" who submitted the 2,424 positive user reviews, I genuinely hope you either kill yourself or get some medical attention immediately. My opinion on this movie will not change, no matter what Rian Johnson or my liberal parents say. Case closed.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is easily the worst of the entire Star Wars franchise. It takes the decent content from The Force Awakens (Rey’s Parents, Who is Snoke, Who are the Knights of Ren…) , and promptly douses it in gasoline whilst replacing those charred remains with poorly written characters and boring story arcs.
Luke Skywalker was handled worse than imaginable and is completely contrary of his character in the Original Trilogy. Leia meanwhile felt cheaply manipulated, and dumb (Especially in a certain Mary-Poppins scene) . With Carrie Fisher sadly passing away almost a year before the film was released, you’d think it would make more sense to let her die heroically and keep Luke for the final movie, but not for Rian Johnson or Kathleen Kennedy apparently.
Meanwhile, the new characters introduced such as Rose and Holdo felt completely out of place and useless to the story. Both of them feel unneeded, and crowbarred in to fill the diversity quota whilst being unbelievable and cringy (Rose) or tactically inept and unnecessary (Holdo). Similarly, all of the characters introduced in The Force Awakens are held back by the writers.
For example; General Hux is a tactical imbecile, acting as a punchbag for low rate jokes that make him feel more like a dumb Superhero baddie for children rather than the intelligent Grand Moff Tarkin, or the intimidating General Grievous. Similarly, Captain Phasma is poorly utilised (especially considering the acting skill of Gwendoline Christine) and should have had a far more meaningful role in the story.
Rey, Poe, Finn and Kylo all feel held back from their true potential. Rey feels unstoppable; as she is constantly shown to overcome every obstacle rather than have any meaningful struggle or show character development in any form. Poe and Finn seem to be used to quick audience laughs and to have their role stolen by other characters (namely weak characters). Kylo Ren feels too unrelatable and many intriguing ideas (What if Luke turned Kylo good, but Snoke turned Rey evil?) seem to have been thrown out because the writers feel like they don’t care.
This movie is pretty, which gets it the 1/10, but its sets lack the imagination of past Star Wars’. Ahch-To is boring and could have been so much more interesting and steeped in mystery; but all we got was a bunch of stone age huts and some milk giraffes. Other sets just feel jammed into the story for no reason (Canto-Bight) or ripped without thought from previous films. The plot is as perforated as a cheese grater, as well as feeling long and braindead. Disney are using this franchise as a cash cow and are milking it drier than the Atacama.
TL;DR: If you wanted to experience what a crap fan fiction sequel of Star Wars written by a bunch of people who’ve only watched it once and see far too much through the eyes of a crazed feminazi AND you also want it to be a weak Superhero gig then this is the film for you.… Expand

For me it was so like episodes 5 and 6. And new moments were just bad and had no SW-atmosphere in them. Yet the plot is stupid and doesn't make any real sense (you'd like to forget the ending).

Whenever the suspense died, I was underwhelmed. The fight scenes were not very entertaining and didn't like a lot of the character development. I think The Force Awakens was better.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Other users have basically hit on all the major reasons on why this movie was a complete waste of time, and fails to set up Ep 9. I think we are even further behind plot-wise than we were in TFA? No major villans, no old characters, no exciting new characters..

I'll add that I especially disliked Han's golden dice, which were never introduced previously and never explained in this movie. Looks like I need to see the new Han Solo movie if I want to have any chance at understanding this movie! I can't wait to see how Han gets those dice... maybe at our favorite casino planet, where he will win the Falcon? He will likely win at last minute and fly away just in time, leaving behind all of the slave children just like our heroes in this movie.… Expand

It should be pointed out that The Last Jedi seemed like a bloated, fragmented assortment of poorly connected scenes and little else. Furthermore, the ham-handed attempt at diversity and inclusion was so poorly executed and serves only to saddle TLJ as a movie that wanted to make a statement about social justice and not tell a good story. If Johnson’s vision was to kill the past then he has indeed succeeded. The deconstructed script effectively cut any ties to the episodes that came before and it was helped along by Disney’s filmmaking by committee, which appeared more interested in marketability and not in character and story development. If this were a relay race then Kathleen Kennedy, J. J. Abrams, Rian Johnson et. al. have dropped the baton.… Expand

I didn't mind the humorous aspects. Special effects and action is, as always, strong. But as I get some distance and perspective, it begins to dawn on me just how much the script sucked and how terrible the character development was.

Apparently, he has been given free reign to create a new Trilogy separate from the original characters. Why he decided to character assassinate one of the heroes in sci-fi film history is beyond me. A complelety nihilistic take on anything related to Star Wars. I'm not a fanboy. I grew up with the originals and loved those films. I thought episodes 1 to 3 were absolutely terrible. I liked The Force Awakens and I thought Rogue One was excellent. This film has killed the franchise for me. Really don't care what happens in the next.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Remember how the last movie was about finding the map made by Luke so that he is able to be found in case the galaxy needs him? Yeah well **** it Luke decided he just doesn't care and wants to die. Remember how it's supposed to take years before jedi even attain the rank of padawan and then BEGIN training with a lightsababer? Lol please, Rey's got that skywalker blood, she basically takes on Luke (the most powerful force user ever) no problem with zero training. Remember how the good guys win (although being at a huge disadvantage) by outsmarting the bad guys? Nah, no need for that lets just make them oblivious to anything resembling a logical thought.

Let me summarize how the movie should have gone, if it made any sense. The first order attacks as resistance is evacuating, resistance manages to get away but the first order tracks them, resistance gets attacked again moments after escaping from first order but first orders big fleet is too slow at keeping up with resistance's smaller fleet, after seeing how Kylo and about 4 Tie fighters manage so blow up the command section of the resistance's main ship they decide to send in more of their smaller ships and everyone dies, the end. If you've never seen any of the older movies or have any previous knowledge on the star wars universe, this could probably pass as an okay movie. But if not save your money, this movie literally just says **** it to all the previous lore.… Expand

In terms of bad aspects, it's got it all: a boring story, plot holes, badly written characters, weak action, a lame musical score (especially compared to earlier Star Wars Episodes), forced humour, and uninspired sets. On top of all of that, the movie really seems to have been made as a giant F*** you to star wars fans. There is ZERO payoff to what was set up in The Force Awakens. I wish I could give this movie a zero, that's how much I dislike it, but I can't. The Last Jedi does earn some points because from a technical standpoint, it's solid. Also, some of the actors give decent to good performances, considering what they have to work with.

It's funny to see how proud and pleased Rian Johnson is with himself. I wonder if he honestly believes he created an awesome cinematic achievement. He seems arrogant enough to believe it. And don't get me wrong, I'm not against something different and new. I like interesting changes and surprises in a movie, but that's as long as they work. None of the changes in The Last Jedi worked. They were all steaming turds that served to ruin this movie, and to destroy the story and characters that came before it.

Anyways, I could go on and on about how they ruined Luke Skywalker, how Rey is perfect at EVERYTHING, how lame Snoke is, how bad the subplots are, and all the logical inconsistencies... but I won't. I'll just say that the one good thing about this movie is that it feels like the end of a trilogy, and has a finality to it. Therefore, this will be the last Disney Star Wars movie that I see. For me, Star Wars is Episodes I-VI. Yes, I like the prequels, and they are so far superior to The Last Jedi that it's laughable. Too bad George Lucas ain't around anymore...

So, thanks Rian Johnson. Thank you for convincing me that I should save my time and money, and simply not watch any more Disney Star Wars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a disappointment.

The highlight of the movie for me, was the appearance of Yoda.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of problems with the plots and sub-plots. I disliked the character development or at times lack there of as well as missing backstories. There is also an awkward humor that ensues throughout the movie that at most times I didn't realize was supposed to be funny.

I thought the plot between Holdo and Poe was just silly. Frankly, I thought Holdo was supposed to be a bad guy who was actually working for the first order. When she sacrificed herself, I was confused why the hyperspace jump like that wasn't done sooner. A female in charge doesn't bother me, but the bad story line for this character does. It could have been so much better if she had say there was a spy on board, or if she was a spy on board. I really found her leadership lacking in the way the movie portrayed the character.

The Canto Bight portion could have been completely skipped. In my mind it really didn't add value to the movie and ended up being virtually pointless other than to offer Fin and Phasma the chance to square off, but wasn't worth the time put into it. I would have like Rey's character if there was more development that could happen. One of the things I enjoyed about Luke in episodes 4-6 is the growth he undergoes. Rey comes to her abilities too quickly and I don't feel really faces challenges that grow her into her powers. Instead she seemingly is able to get herself out of every situation without failing.

As a whole, I wouldn't recommend this movie. The overall Plot and Sub-Plots were lacking in detail and arc development. As a whole, this is not a movie I would recommend watching or buying.… Expand

The visuals and effects are to notch, as one would expect from a Star Wars film. But that's where the positive ends. The film commits so many atrocities on the story threads and characters that were established in The Force Awakens, that I no longer care about any of the new characters. Opportunity to build on fan favourites Snoke and Phasma were completely thrown away. The plot opportunity of turning Rey to the darkside was missed - how much cooler would that have been. Leia was grossly underused in what would sadly be Carrie Fisher's last Star Wars film, giving way to flat characters with cringeworthy interactions, eg Finn and Rose (with their pointless ventures on Canto Bight) and Poe and Holdo (seriously, the Leia from the original trilogy was a far better example of an empowered female character than the "I have a plan" Holdo). There are other weird choices like the WW2 inspired bombers and world-altering ideas like hyperspace jump abuse. But the worst irreversible offense that this film commits is against the character of Luke Skywalker. I thought Han Solo's treatment in Force Awakens was disappointing, but wow, what a sad treatment of one of the greatest most positive characters in Star Wars. I felt really sorry for Mark Hamill. I don't know how they can recover Episode IX from this garbage.… Expand

The last movie and it's similarities to a new hope we're excusable and it was a fun movie regardless. It also setup some good questions that caused people to speculate and come up with various theories for the last two years.

Now here we are and The Last Jedi is out...and is awful. There is some really out of place humor delivered by characters that shouldn't be delivering it (Poe for example should be the funny 1 liner guy and that's it, nobody else except maybe Luke talking to his sister) and the dialog in general plus the "slapstick" moments are seemingly prequel level quality.

Everything else aside the worst thing this movie does is not answer a single question raised by the last film. It's no wonder Mark Hamill doesn't like either of the movies and speaks as poorly about them as he can get away with.

This movie fails as a star wars film and a film in general. Quite honestly this could have been a series of 3 10 min shorts or webisodes that led up to the movie. It just didn't feel right in any way and as a fan it leaves you feeling empty.

Once the hype dies does 90% of the people who claim to love it will likely rank it as the 2nd worst movie right behind phantom menace...bit at least that had Darth Maul and awesome light saber battles...you really won't get (good light saber fights) here

Even if you are an absolute die hard fan I suggest waiting to rent it...I know that's a hard pill to swallow but it's the truth.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story is boring, ridiculous, and cringeworthy. The characters are flat and totally undeveloped. Beloved characters from the old movies are destroyed (literally and/or figuratively). As a matter of fact, the whole beloved saga is being destroyed before our eyes. This movie has a political and social agenda that has nothing to do with Star Wars. If somebody wants to push some particular point of view, they can either make it extremely subtle (so as not to destroy the story), or make a documentary, or at least make a separate movie dedicated to those things. Star Wars should not be turned into a platform for that. I'm all for equality, tolerance, kindness, and so on, but there are other ways to express those views. They should focus on storytelling and character-building, and should hire some professional writers. For example, I wouldn't mind at all if they hire Timothy Zahn to write the scripts.… Expand

From the first cringe inducing "yo mamma" joke right out of the gate, to Mary Poppins Leia. Where to begin? This movie is an absolute mess, and further proof that Disney had no gameplan whatsoever with this "trilogy". Why is everyone from the OT so dour and pathetic? Why are no questions answered? How did Maz, Leia, and Han all seem to know Rey for some reason in TFA? Who was Snoke? Why was Yoda acting like he did when he first met Luke on Dagobah, when he was originally only trying to trick him into thinking he wasn't Yoda-- at no time in the prequels or after Yoda dropped his act did he act like a giddy laughing weirdo. Why am I watching 40 minutes of Benicio Del Toro stuttering? This film left me no real desire to see Episode 9.… Expand

This betrays Luke's character and integrity and DESTROYS everything in retrospect that was good from episodes 4-6. The Force Awakens had a few holes, but this movie, in my opinion, ENDS THE STAR WARS SAGA. It was absolutely filled with plot holes and lashes out at the intelligent movie-going audience. Shame on you Rian Johnson!!!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Did we really wait two years to find out Rey's parents were a couple of drunks who sold her for drinking money? Lame. This film ruined Rey, making her some awkward, pointless character looking in on a family dispute she has no stake in. Rey was flat and was just used to give Kylo an arc, because Rian Johnson was in love with him. Finn was giving nothing to do, as well. All the mystery created by Abrams in TFA--gone. All the wonderful new characters introduced in TFA--disrespected. Yes, there was emotion between Kylo, Luke, and Leia, but Luke is dead and Fisher is sadly gone. No one cares about Rey vs. Kylo, now that Rey is a nothing character. This is not a legitimate Star Wars movie. It is an ANTI-Star Wars movie.… Expand

Stars Wars is now not a SciFi film, but a hard left fantasy film. It's more political propaganda than movie. First, White Men are not good people. They are definitely not heroes, and humiliated and erased. So, Han becomes a failed fatherStars Wars is now not a SciFi film, but a hard left fantasy film. It's more political propaganda than movie. First, White Men are not good people. They are definitely not heroes, and humiliated and erased. So, Han becomes a failed father that ran away from responsibility, and was so awful he was killed by his own son. Luke is a miserable failed Jedi master that runs to a hiding place to die. Too afraid to join the battle himself, he dies sending a projection instead.

Second, any new White Men characters must be evil, weak, and stupid. So, the new generation White Men are on the dark side, but they are not scary. General Hux, the whitest of White Men, is the joke of the new Star Wars. He's a buffoon that is easily tricked, and made fun of, and snivels and grovels to those in power. Kylo Ren is supposed to be dangerous; tall, physically strong, and strong with the force, he also has years and years of training. However, a skinny homeless girl with no training at all easily defeats him, and has to save him in this film. His primary character trait is temper tantrums when his White Privilege doesn't work out for him. Finally, true heroes in our Leftist Star Wars are a diverse group of people devoid of White Men and led by the new saviors of the galaxy, crazy powerful and wise White Women. Leading this group is the untrained and skinny (yet beautiful) Rey. She is all things good to the left; no family, homeless, and poor (yet beautiful). She can easily defeat the greatest killers in the galaxy... just cause. She is surrounded by her diverse group of comrades. A wise older and powerful White Woman mentor in Leia (dare we say Kathleen Kennedy). A daring fighter in Hispanic fighter pilot Poe Dameron who is taught to temper his fight by wise White Women superiors. A freed black slave in Finn, who learns to stand for something because of his love of a White Woman. And now, an Asian woman has been added to bring balance (and someone to fix their electronics cause... you know... she's probably real good a math and stuff). The reason the movie is either loved or hated depends on if you're far left SJW or not. In the echo chamber of Hollywood, I'm sure they don't understand why everyone doesn't love this film. However, I went with two millennial women, and they didn't like it either. Go figure.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my first and probably last review, simply because this was the only movie franchise that i truly cared about. After seeing „The Last Jedi“ i felt compelled to say something, to give a „heads up“ to anyone who wants to go and watch it. Don’t. Don’t go. Don’t give it any money. Wait for it, wait for it when it’s free. I fell ashamed for paying for it, for feeding the beast.
Everything in this movie the „Plot“ ,the characters, the „humor“ and the porgs, all of it has a singular purpose –money. The entire film seems to be made of unconnected ideas that were approved by „would you pay to see this“ polls after which they tried to connect it all by adding confusing and implausible scenes between them (including force Skype and improved force Skype at the end), because of this plot holes pop up every single time any of main characters try to do anything . I won’t list them all, there is simply too many, instead i will only mention the most important one, the one that the entire story hinges on.
- The inability of the First order armada of Star Destroyers and the Capital ship of „Supreme“ Leader Snoke to catch one rebel ship because it’s a little faster than them, this being said one minute after the entire armada drops out of Hyperspace at light speed. Again... Light Speed. That is it. That’s the plot. The characters have no development, some don’t even have any importance, Fin and Rose can easily be removed with little or no consequence to the „plot“ , but they do have importance money wise. A lot of people say that Disney is being too PC, i guarantee it has nothing to do with political correctness, only money, characters that pass the „would you pay to see this“ polls get screen time, and those that don't get killed off. Captain Phasma the commander of the First Order's legions gets maybe 60 seconds of screen time more than the „porgs“, one is for story purposes and one is merchandise. Guess who gets killed off.
All this being said i am not opposed of movies earning money. I simply think that movies should earn money because they are good.
Movies shouldn't be good just because they bring in the money.
Ultimately i left the movie theater disappointed and confused and with the wish i didn't see the thing a saw.
This is the last Star Wars movie i will ever pay for.… Expand

Slapstick, lazy insult humor, and distractingly out-of-place modern vernacular threaten to tip the balance to all out farce, until the film jarringly goes for pathos with a subversive take on the Star Wars mythos that is at first refreshing but ultimately too convoluted and contradictory to warrant more than an indifferent head scratch. The detailed production design and cutting-edge special effects are as impressive as ever, but all in service of an uneven story that shuffles interchangeable characters around new-but-familiar backdrops. Mysteries are introduced as quickly as they're swept under the rug. The conflict never really goes deeper than a simple take on 'good vs. evil' or 'young vs. old' (The implicit ageism in this movie, in traditional Disney fashion, is off the charts.) Old and new characters randomly pop up (sometimes literally and inexplicably) to rattle off clunky exposition and hoary declarations. Despite some intriguing gestures towards an internal battle brewing within the protagonist and antagonist, such complexities are quickly diffused with on-the-nose dialogue that relies on telling rather than showing. It's hard to care about the mysteries, conflicts, and mythologies that are woven through the story when characters repeatedly stop the action to explain away everything in increasingly literal and tone-deaf terms. This makes for easy, accessible entertainment, but it's constantly undercutting any semblance of drama, suspense, or cinema, a few gorgeous set pieces and locales not-withstanding. Entire subplots (something about a Master Codebreaker?) and characters could have easily been left on the cutting room floor, allowing for a more focused and purposeful movie. It's as if the filmmakers made the mistake of conflating running time with "epicness," rather than work to make each scene build to a cohesive whole. The film is easily 30-minutes too long, which turns the beautifully-staged climactic battle into an exhausting and perfunctory coda rather than the culmination of 40-years of meticulous world-building. The film seems like a grab bag of ideas, gags, archetypes, and plotpoints that the filmmaker/studio was too enamored with to let go of, but not diligent enough to fully integrate into a compelling story. Ultimately, like the prequel trilogy, this movie probably works best if you turn the sound off and just appreciate the design and technology behind the visuals. I was skeptical about the surprisingly low user score this movie is getting across the board, as it reeked of sour grapes from the fanboy brigade, but after seeing the movie for myself, I get the reaction. The film is perfectly mediocre and passable and not really worth the fuss.… Expand

ToWhat a disappointment: The plot is boring and has even some contradictions to the older episodes, especially that the empire was destroyed in episode VI, but in VII und VIII it is a big force again only the name changed to First Order.

In addition there were some hints in episode VII that were not further developed in VIII. Oh and did you notice the many weird actions by the characters that didnt make much sense. The characters are horrible: Leia is old and survive an explosion and the vacuum in the universe -> lol. Rey is boring and doesnt fit to Star Wars, Kylo Ren is boring also.

I had high hopes but upon watching and then re-watching just in case I even asked myself if Star Wars was worth moving forward with anymore.

The disrespect to the characters, franchise and fan base is almost unreal. I don’t need to say much that hasn’t been said already but all I can say is…. FU Rian Johnson and FU Kathleen Kennedy you both almost single handed destroyed Star Wars. You both don’t know **** about what we love about Star Wars.

Thank God for Filoni and Favreu, they have restored my faith on this franchise (that I have loved all my life). Also thanks to Respawn Entertainment that did and amazing job with Jedi Fallen Order.

I hope Rian Johnson (or J.J.) never touches Star Wars again, I hope Kathleen Kennedy is let go as Lucas clearly didn’t know what he was doing by given her the blessing to protect this franchise. I don’t even know how they got away with such a horrible movie/plot and disjointed trilogy that doesn’t make sense at all and doesn’t push the franchise forward towards anything interesting or meaningful.

I don’t hate the actors, they all seem genuinely lovely. I wanted to love Rey but her character sucks, Finn had so much potential but nothing interesting ever happened with him. Same with Poe.

The whole trilogy is a serious waste of time that its only purpose is to piss off the fan base that does care for this franchise and are willing to spend money on it, all for the sake of pushing a SJW agenda and teach a lesson no one F’n asked for. Star Wars was for everyone no one ever said it wasn’t but Kathleen Kennedy assumed it only appealed to “males, nerds and geeks”….. now that I do find insulting.… Expand

Full of inconsistencies, flat characters, misplaced - childish humor and a disregard for the tone of the Star Wars universe. This film would have you forget everything you know about Star Wars to make the unfocused plot and aimless characters believable. The film doesn't subvert expectations so much as it ignores them, allowing the story to simply be...action comedy!...with the backdrop of Star Destroyers and Light sabers. It would be a fun popcorn movie, if the dialogue wasn't so juvenile and set in the Star Wars universe.… Expand

Einfach nur schlecht der Film, im Sinne eines Star Wars Films. Vorbei an jeglicher bisheriger Lore. Unwürdige Behandlung der alten Charaktere. Rian Johnson tritt Star Wars und seine Fans mit Füßen. Vielleicht dachte er auch er dreht Saceballs 2.

The main story line has the good guy fleet being chased by the bad guy fleet. The bad guys cannot catch up with the good guys but the good guys are running out of fuel. Meanwhile, a group of good guys is able to fly off to another planet, do some silly stuff there, and return and catch up with the bad guys. The film is just schlock stiched together to grab money from those who will see anything with "Star Wars" on it.

(I was going to give this film a slightly higher score because I did not want to be over-the-type review bomber but, as I went through it again and recited its end-to-end stupidity, it I realized I was being too generous.)… Expand

It fails because it’s nonsensical, lackadaisical, andThe Last Jedi is not good. On the surface it has many elements natural to the series, and many that bear a striking resemblance to its predecessors, but that’s not why it fails. It fails because it’s nonsensical, lackadaisical, and heretical. Firstly the good: I don’t agree with the approach they took with Luke (just like I didn’t with Han in TFA), but I didn’t find his part difficult to accept. Reading between the lines and looking back and older movies makes his actions believable enough if you will it so. He doesn’t get bested by Rey; he abandoned the force and has no drive to live. Strangely enough some of the jokes were funny (success rate was under 50%, excluding Hux-related jokes which were 0%). Now that the good is out of the way, let’s look at this movie’s 3 main failings.

The movie is lackadaisical because it doesn’t know its audience. It desperately tries to appease to youngsters and older fans may be insulted. It doesn’t settle into a rhythm. There is a flimsy interlude at a casino, mostly just so Finn and Rose can rescue some ugly horses, but it’s like a scattershot cantina scene with zero personality. Numerous times—the movie frequently does terrible jumps between locations—Poe desperately asks for a plan as they stay one step ahead of the first order, only to be ignored or insulted for no good reason. Even Rey and Ren (sans stupid helmet thankfully) commune via astral-projection to allow for dull exposition between two opposing sides without needing to justify frequent physical encounters. The final lightsaber battle is pretty weak honestly.

It’s nonsensical because illogical things happen. The resistance (aka rebellion) are virtually nothing, despite so many previous victories. Laser projectiles curve downwards in space. The first order’s best ships can’t manage to spot transport vessels leaving the last remaining cruiser despite being in visual range. Do none of these futuristic spacecraft have autopilot? Two characters somehow come out alive in an explosion while the enemies that were surrounding them are toast.

Finally it’s heretical because it tosses the lore aside. This one it does deliberately and callously. It makes sense, Lucas is gone and all that deep lore is a burden for new directors/producers. Start with a clean slate, right? This is like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Lore is Star Wars and Star Wars is lore. You can build layers, like the prequels, you can add your own stories, like KOTOR, and, hell, you can even fill the gaps, like Rogue One. What you can’t do is wipe it all away and opt to not replace it, but The Last Jedi does just that. As the second movie in a trilogy you would expect to be interested in where it goes next, but I could not care less.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very disappointing movie in many ways. Overall it felt very disconnected from the previous film. The movie did very little to build upon The Force Awakens, and it did not feel like a sequel in a trilogy. Whatever questions from TFA that were answered seemed very uncreative and uninspiring. The writers failed to deliver an intriguing story. Also, the way Luke's character was used was very underwhelming. Luke had zero action scenes and his humor was way too flipant. I could do without the SJW political messages, too. Disney needs to make sure that Rian Johnson never writes or directs another Star Wars movie.… Expand

Mark Hamill was absolutely right when he said this wasn't his or George Lucas' Luke Skywalker. Half the time he's what you would believe he would be as an old man, the other half he's doing slapstick comedy that belongs in a Space Balls movie. Finn and Rose (the most obnoxious character since Jar Jar) have a pointless story that accomplishes nothing. Poe's story ends up being worthless. It's like one good story you care about spattered with cringe worthy humor, sandwiched between meaningless boring stories that don't even feel like they're taking place in the Star Wars universe. Some people are overcompensating for their rage and saying it's a zero, but it is honestly objectively a bad movie. At least Phantom Menace had Darth Maul. This movie has nothing.… Expand

This fits perfectly with the feelings of all the true fans of SW universe, Disney destroyed SW.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Star Wars has changed, and we should understand that.
Changes can be good or bad and in this case, we got a bad one.
It's understandable to a company to introduce new characters, a new enemy, change some things here and there, but what was done to this franchise can only be considered failure.
The good things in this movie are: Soundtrack and Photography. That's pretty much it.
Now the bad things... Well, I will just say some that left me disappointed and saddened.
First, the scene were Leia comes back to the spaceship after surviving an explosion and wandering in space... what?! How did she come back? How did she survive being in the vacuum of space? Not just the cold, but her eyes would have popped from her head.
We have Snoke and Phasma's deaths occurring prematurely (in my opinion) making those characters completely worthless. You might argue how the same thing happened with Palpatine and Boba Fett, but here's the thing. Palpatine and Boba Fett were characters that appeared when the SW universe was still "in creation", as Snoke and Phasma were introduced in a already existing one, with books, movies, cartoons, HQ's and more. Palpatine even has some more backstory and lore added to his character trough the Book of the Sith aswell.
J. J. Abrams vision on Luke is sh*t. I understand that people change over the years, but what happened to Hamill's character was a complete failure. Luke sulking on that island, refusin to help Rey, wanting to end the Jedi... It hurts to think about that.
The whole story about how and why Ben became Kylo Ren, his "connection" with Rey... That's was just bad. It was weak. His character grows more and more unbearable and meaningless, with goals that are just too cliché to be good.
The movie itself, cast, photography, soundtrack are all good, for someone that don't really cares about the SW Universe, it might be a good movie. But if you were a fan already this is gonna be hard for you to watch. Abrams was a mistake, Disney was a mistake.

I had very mixed feelings after watching the film. There were some parts I liked a lot and some parts I very much didn't. In general, I am sad to say that, for me at least the bad outweighed the good. I enjoyed the the story line with Ray. I liked a lot of the subversion of expectation. I liked to see a diverse group in positions of power in the rebels. Though I enjoyed the expanded universe, ultimately, I am perfectly fine with them diverging from it, they established that they would be doing so with the previous movie. I did not like much of the humor, especially where it derailed the plot and streaked suspension of disbelief. I also feel that the movie's creators mistook the difference between grand and dramatic, with the movie leaning into the territory of overly dramatic. I don't think the tone fits with the original trilogy, or even with the prequels. That is not to say that I feel different is bad, I love change, as long as it fits with and connects to what has been previously established. Finally, I felt many characters were shallow, the action was often a bit too over the top, and any overall message dis-guarded subtlety, coming off a bit heavy handed.… Expand

Even George Lucas's failed prequels were more movies than this latest effort. Rogue One, while beating you over the head with nostalgia, was still a passable movie. The Force Awakens, while plagiarizing the original trilogy, still had craft behind it; true skill, and an adherence to the structure that not only made these movies great, but also recalled the films that originally inspired Lucas. While The Force Awakens wasn't perfect, The Last Jedi honors that movie, and the task undertaken by it's characters, by crapping all over that it. It effectively throws everything from that TFA out and replaces it with vapid nonsense. The FAR TOO MANY jokes don't land, characters are not who we know them to be, and the many plot holes you could fit a Star Destroyer through.

There are some great visual effects and some nice explosions and fights. But frankly that's it. Oh and by the way they COMPLETELY destroy the character of Luke Skywalker, one of the greatest characters that movies and literature have ever had. I've never seen something as completely disgusting as this movie. Rian Johnson should be ashamed. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.… Expand
