Pathetic and horribly written movie that has no clear plot, destroys Star Wars lore and iconic characters like Luke Skywalker while shoving bad jokes and sjw politics down our throats.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie ruined the well built Star Wars framework. Trashing a fleet of Star Destroyers by hitting 1 with light speed? Why all the space fight before? Bombardment in 0 gravity? Hmm.... Turning one of the most positive character to a bitter negative old man without proper backing, who dies of exhaustion? The director is very weak in respect of character building. Ray is a master technician can repair everything, self taught jedi whos power rivals the baddie who had years of training. An all powerful flawless character is ridiculous. 10 year old kids can come up with such hero. Leia flies in 0 gravity and survives (missing jedi training again). Every baddie is neurotic. Where are the serious cool thinkers, who people can believe that they can build a serious war machine? And who is Snoke? Where was he during the original episodes and how does he ground the First Order? He is killed as an idiot nobody! How is that a couple of red guards are almost a match for 2 force users? These are all serious flows in the movie and that the director still does not comprehend what fans are talking about is the worst thing of all. This is more like Space Balls 3 than Star Wars 8.… Expand

The Last Jedi is blasphemy. Rain Johnson does not seem to understand the essence of what Star Wars is about. He cares so much about subverting expectations, that he is willing to steal your joy!

Rian Johnson continues his personal series of flops by writing this awful fan-fiction. It focuses on the father-daughter relationship with Luke & Rey, and mostly a simple young female janitor to set-up a trite romance with Finn later on. There’s extraordinary pacing issues, and the longstanding characters act as though this is their very first Star Wars film. There is no pay-off in the end, and the humor is particularly bad. It tries so hard to be different in formula from The Empire Strikes Back, that it does nothing exciting. What could’ve been a fantastic departure from the obvious sci-fi standard is instead a tedious spin-off. Episode IX could ignore The Last Jedi entirely and no one would be the wiser.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow. Where to begin. Ok, first up. The script is bad. Not just on a technical level (I'm a writer, and it is, it realy realy is), but also because Rian Johnson seems not to like Star Wars. The dialogue is atrocious, and makes the cardinal error of spelling out everything that is happening. This is screenwriting 101. The tone is just OFF. It isn't Star Wars. There are tonal lurches all over the place. Bad humour. No sense of jeopardy. Idioms from the real world circa 2010-2020. The source of tension was so ridiculously contrived as to be non existent. The thing that realy makes this hurt even more, is that a lot of good ground work had been done beforehand with the Force Awakens, which wasn't perfect but gave us a nice set up. Rian purposefully throws it all in the bin (when he isn't aiming jibes at Star Wars fans). I also thought Rogue One was pretty excellent. You managed to tease me in to thinking it was possible to get semi decent new Star Wars, and now this. There's more. Much more. But I'm not going to go in to it. I actually can't believe they managed to murder it this badly. The one redeeming element was the performance of Daisy Ridly and the fact Rian isn't directing the 3rd one. The special effects, while often tonally off at least clearly had a decent amount of talent behind. What a shame it was so badly misdirected. I'm off to watch Rogue One. That's how you do it. Please, please, Disney. Don't let that man near another Star Wars film. Never mind a whole trilogy.… Expand

I paid matinee prices so I didn't get too ripped off but wow I'd be really mad to pay full price and do 3D too! Everything is wrong here, nothing makes one moment of sense, the acting is just terrible beyond words (except Mark Hamill), everything feels out of order most of the time and never for a moment was I thinking "wow this is going great." I see what happened here now, Disney's Kathleen Kennedy stated in an interview they write stories then fit characters around them. They don't write for the sake of characters. That's exactly what this felt like, as if the stories being given had no relation to any of these people we learned about in Force Awakens, instead it feels like they have been put into an alternate universe where everything has different universal constants/laws even peoples thought processes. I never thought a modern day film could ever be this bad, especially one with such a large budget as this I KNOW NOW I WAS WRONG. Nothing can fix this mess, it's written worse than a childs story, it's absurd nonsense that goes nowhere. I'd rather watch the prequels every single day of my life than see this one more time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a huge SW fan I'm here because I have to speak! Do you know what it's funny? Some desperate Disney stans saying things like that: "Don't listen to the bad reviews or the negative people, the movie is great", "Ignore the haters, go to see the movie". Haters??? So you dare to call "haters" the immense majority of the SW FANS who don't recognize Rian Johson's crap as a Star Wars movie? So are they lying about the ridiculous things that they saw in this movie? So Leia doesn't fly? Luke doesn't refuse to train Rey? He doesn't not throw away his light saber? He doesn't milk a "space cow"? He doesn't die without actually fighting? Yoda's ghost doesn't burn the Jedi books? Rey is not a nobody with magic powers (Marie Sue) she got without trainning? Snoke doesn't die without a explaination about his past or who he is? Snoke... What a silly name for a villain that was supposed to be the most dangerous Sith of this new trilogy! It sounds more like a perfect name for a pet. Yes! I can imagine a dog or a cat called Snoke. I bet there are pets with this name, and there were BEFORE the character was created! Come on, Snoke, don't pee on the carpet. Snoke, come here to drink your milk. It's NOT a good name for a villian. And for what I know in Star Wars, the big villains are Sith and have a "Darth" before their Sith names!
Well, all I have to say is NO! I won't to see this movie, I won't pay to see this, I won't give any money to Disney anymore! The fans are not lying! This movie sucks.
Disney look a little desperate, paying critics for good reviews and making some people (Mark Hamill, Angry Joe) apologize for being honest about how bad the movie really is!
And they want us to buy books and stuff to read their absurd explanations for some things that the movies could not show??? Only money matters to Disney!
I prefer "midiclorians" a thousand times than "The force is female" (and I am a feminist woman)! Kathleen Kennedy, I have to say something to you: The Force is NOT female or male.It has NO sex or gender! Stop being so ridiculous!
So you think you can create new rules or powers for the Force users without any complainning from the fans of this series? You are very stupid for thinking so. It's the same as someone deciding to make a Superman movie in wich he can become invisivle, wears yellow suit, can hold a big piece of kryptonite without getting weak and doesn't fly anymore! Fans will say "This is not Superman, it's someone else". That's what's happen with Star Wars as most fans are saying: "This is not Luke, this is not the Force, this is not Yoda, this is not Leia and this is not STAR WARS!" If Disney couldn't not see that it was going to happen, so they are really stupid! To me Rian Johnson, Kathleen Kennedy, JJ Abrams and Disney are all big morons. Thank you for killing my beloved franchise! And I am NOT an old generations fan!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi manages to literally and figuratively kill everything The Force Awakens built up. If you were expecting for it to propel the story forward at all, you will be extremely disappointed, as it cuts off any sort of story or plot to go on for another sequel. Episode IX is completely f**ked in this regard. Here are some reasons why... WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS!!!! Rian Johnson kills off Snoke as if he's a little **** after making him out to be powerful as all hell. They kill off Luke by having him fade away (the most fighting he did was a stick fight with Rey, which he f**king loses!). Captain Phasma was killed by Finn after a 20 second fight with him thanks to the power of ex-machinas. Leia does NOT die, instead she has a force ex-machina moment and Mary Poppins herself to safety after being blown up into the vacuum of space. Rey is still terrible, taking literally no training whatsoever to be able to do remarkable sh** that even Anakin couldn't do at his early stages, even after Rey's parents are revealed to be nobody junkers that left her behind out of greed.

Another major disappointment was Leia's character as a whole. She doesn't get much screen time, and when she does it's weak, and ultimately pointless. She feels so much like a side character that she could've been removed altogether (which she should have been), and it wouldn't have made a goddamn difference to the story. Being yet another reason why Episode IX is royally f**ked, you know, having to figure out how to either sustain her or kill her off.

The one decent thing I can say for this movie is that it's very pretty. It is hands down the most aesthetically pleasing Star Wars movie to date, but that doesn't help a film much when the story, characters, and even the ending are terrible.

The Last Jedi takes everything The Force Awakens built up and says, "F**k it, we don't need it." Being a terrible segway episode and standalone episode. But at least it did it while being pretty, which is the only reason this film is a 3/10 as opposed to a flat out 0/10.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is a masterpiece... of how to disrespect the first film in a trilogy.
This film is filled with narrative flaws inside itself, let alone narrative destruction of athe film that came before it.
It goes out of its way to insult the original characaters from the Saga Trilogy and it goes out of its way to change, and turn the characters from TFA Episode 7 into maddeningly stupid charactures of themselves.
The film is an editted nightmare, that is so based around 'shockvalue moments' and 'bad humor' that it loses sight of its source material.

"Let the past die." is the motto of this movie. Indicative of its complete "middle finger" to everything that came before it.

From 'smaller points' like Admiral Ackbar being boldly insulted.

To more massive characater assaults, such as turning Luke Skywalker into a cowardice monster.

I cannot stress more, how faulty and far off the mark this film is.

If you want more depth in these issues... just look it up, there's a billion other reviews that will say more than this.… Expand

Thanks, Disney, my expectations about you were right. 0 points for you. It's seems to me, that people forgot or even didn't know, that movies are stories at first and visuals at second. And this is second disapointing aspect of film: A ridiculous exchange from plot to visuals. 0 points for you, Disney. Repeating a scenes from original trilogy is not an issue here. It's just a symptom of one of the worst problems of this film: Lack of understanding and appreciation of source material. I don't know if director is a Star Wars fan, but I know something for sure: Fans never mix their favorites with mud! 0 points for you, Disney.

Movie-BuffDec 29, 2017
This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The opening crawl decides that, contrary to the previous film, the resistance has actually LOST and now the First Order has completely taken over the galaxy. How the force did that happen? It seems every one of these films starts with “about everything that happened before? Yeah, we’ve nuking that.” This is then followed by a ridiculous scene involving yo mama jokes and the resistance losing all of its bombers because they apparently can’t move more than 2 inches per minute.
The first order destroys one of the resistance flagships, and Leia is flung out into space and dies…BUT WAIT! She now has mad Force skills and can not only survive in space, she can FLY LIKE SUPERMAN through it. I mean what the serious **** She falls into a coma after this, and the resistance is ruled by Kathleen Kennedy’s Real Grannies of Outer Space, who don’t take no lip, new ideas, or sensible talk from these young boy whippersnappers who just need to get off my bridge! Pretty much 80% of the resistance and every important person who isn’t Poe is now female.
Finn wakes up from a coma, and goes into Jar Jar Binks mode. Then meets Poe and decides he’s gotta go tip his fedora at Rey because reasons. So he sneaks off the ship but before he gets there he gets one-upped by Disney’s Asian Market 03, who suddenly decides that this is a quest she wants to be on. They go on said quest, which drags the entire film to a halt (because it was apparently not slow enough with the resistance literally just drifting in space) and makes some of the most outrageous claims about rich people ever put to film. Seriously, this is about a half hour of the film and adds nothing to the plot and changes nothing.
Back on the ship, Poe leads a mutiny against Kathleen’s holodeck projections and it feels pretty good to see them go down. But then Leia wakes up and tells the youngin’ to pipe down cause they DO have a plan that they told no one for no reason. But it’s a **** idea, like everything KK does.
Rey is off trying to get Luke to come back and be a Jedi. But Luke is sick of that nonsense and instead goes and milks a giant grey creature with huge **** and then drinks the milk right fresh. A horde of unspeakably annoying bird-groundhogs convince Chewbacca to become vegan. Rey manages to get Luke to tell her to “reach out and feel the Force” in what in a scene that is not terrible. But that’s the end of her training. She shows off how awesome she is with a lightsaber (which she never got trained in) and later kicks Luke’s ass in a duel because this movie hates your intelligence. After a while Rey gets bored of Luke not agreeing with her every whim and decides to leave the planet. Then ghost Yoda shows up as a nearly immobile puppet with worse ghost effects than in ROTJ, and blows up a tree containing the last of the Jedi archives (because this is totally something Force ghosts can do) while telling Luke that Rey doesn’t need to learn anything. Because obviously she’s perfect. Hold on a damn second! Did they just have Yoda say lines that Palpatine said to Anakin? WTF?
During the time that Rey is with Luke, she starts communicating telepathically with Kylo Ren. These conversations are the best part of the film and actually make Kylo a less hateable character. You find out the Luke tried to murder Kylo (because the filmmakers hate Luke apparently) and that’s why he's all genocidal. But Rey has seen the OT and decides that Kylo can be turned back to the light, so she goes to see him. Kylo takes her to Snoke, and then Rey persuades Kylo to kill Snoke. Ending any chance of charactibility or discovery of who the **** Snoke is. Then a bunch of guys in awfulplastic outfits (makes me miss the CGI clones) attack Rey and Kylo and of course Rey is the better fighter and has to save Kylo. But after that Kylo decides he doesn’t want to go back to the light side so Rey leaves the ship and goes to join the rest of the resistance.
The cunning plan of the Granny Gang is to go to a planet right next to the First Order fleet and hope they don’t get destroyed. This plan goes about as well as you’d expect and most of the resistance characters are killed. Then the FO lands their new 2nd-Film-in-the-Series AT-ATs and decides to blast open the resistance hideout. Finn decides to do something useful for once and attempts to suicide himself into the FO cannon but Asian Demographic 03 stops him for no goddamn reason and the FO blows open the door.
Suddenly Luke shows up and challenges Kylo to a duel but PLOT TWIST he’s not really there! He’s just projecting himself across the galaxy because that’s TOTALLY something that is possible now. Kylo throws another tantrum, MaRey-Sue uses more advance Force powers she has no training for, Luke just dies because **** it, and the last tiny group of resistance gets away – but not before announcing they are called Rebels now.… Expand

This movie is poor from two perspectives. First as a movie in general, e.g. script, plot, characters, and cinematic. and second as a star wars franchise movie.

1). This is just a poorly done movie / cinematic. --- contrived plot
--- poor character development, e.g. characters do not evolve, they remain static in their understanding of events and conflict from beginning until the end.
--- forced diversity, the character 'Rose' reeks of Disney forcefully placing ethnic diversity into the film as a matter of making a check on list. There is no point to this character and events or responsibilities of this character do not make any sense and are meaningless.

2) Bad Star Wars franchise movie
---No adherence to cannon. e.g. not consistent with established 'rules' of 'The Force'(e.g. Jedi training). Why didn't rebels use hyperspace kamikaze to former threats in previous movies?
---The visuals and action were a step down from previous movies. Where is the masterful Jedi vs. Sith light saber scene? Where is the Jedi taking control of the battle field or space in conflict?
---Lukes climatic buildup carried from episode VII was a big nothing and inconsistent with his matured character from Return of the Jedi. To be frank, we all wanted to see Luke's bad ass Master Jedi skills in action to save the resistance. ---No climatic battle with Supreme leader Snoke... by the way, can holy wood get away from the contrived throne room? No rulers sit day in and day out in a throne room. At least Darth Sidious's room was more of a command viewpoint to watch galactic warfare.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Positive:
-The visuals are great and epic all the way through (hence why I'm not giving 0 points)

Negative:
-Mary Sue main character who can beat anyone in fights with 0 training while the actress says it can't be Mary Sue because that's sexist
-Unnecessary forced jokes throughout all the movie (In a scene that's supposed to be an epic battle the bad guys are LITERALLY defeated because of a prank call that ends with a "your mother" joke)
-The "First Order" is so incompetent it's absolutely laughable. They have all the top military technology and giant ships and loads and loads of soldiers (which is never explained how they got all that stuff in the first place), yet they **** up the most basic logistical tasks and keep getting beaten by 20 people in outdated junk tech
-Leia get's blown up into space in an actually epic scene that would have been a great opportunity to kill off her character since the actress died. But nope, she suddenly has op force powers that help her survive in space and she just floats to the starship door like Marry Poppins
-Admiral Ackbar is killed offscreen to make room for a forced feminist violet-haired character to be in charge (which might be why they had to come up with something to knock out Leia in the first place) who just plays games with Poe to show how she's a strong independent woman even if that ends up killing half the Resistance because she was too proud to tell her plan to anyone
-Forced Casino side-plot with yet another forced feminist character where they search for a "master hacker" while criticizing capitalism and animal abuse just to find some random drunk in a cell who just happens to also be a master hacker after being told the other master hacker is the only one who can do it. Then they get betrayed by the drunk master hacker so the whole side plot ends up being useless anyway.
-The rest of the resistance uses junk-gliders to take on like 20 top tier AT-ATs because they need to destroy a giant laser-cannon but most of them get blown up on the way. Finn tries to sacrifice himself which would actually have been a great moment and would have made it feel like there's actual consequence in the movie, but in one of the most stupid moments in movie history the random girl crashes into Finn and basically (almost) sacrifices herself for saving Finn from saving the resistance and then proceeds to kiss him after knowing him for like 8 hours.
-Finn is just able to drag the random girl for miles and miles to the base without any protection without being shot
-Luke appears and gives the movie an epic final showdown with Kylo Ren, which would have made a somewhat worthy death for him, sacrificing himself, but then reveals he just trolled everyone with a hologram. But then he just dies anyway from a heart attack or whatever so what was the point of not personally showing up...
-Once again incompetent First Order can't notice the Millenium Falcon escaping

I definitely won't pay any money for the 9th movie and deeply regret paying money for this garbage. Don't understand why so many people are giving such high ratings (especially all the critics)… Expand

- Too many characters, not enough character. With about 8 main characters not including our protaganist, there isn't any time for character development.
- Having its cake and eating it. There are several moments when something dramatic happens, only for the reveal that it didn't actually happen. By the end I didn't care about anything happening because they killed the impact of any events by reversing everything that happened previously.
- Pointless side-plots that went nowhere. You can actually cut every scene with Finn & Rose, and it would make literally no difference to the plot. Nothing they do affects the film in any way.

As for Star Wars specific criticisms:
- Jedi training is now meaningless. Anyone born with the force can throw stuff around and fly without training.
- Kamakazi ship attacks that make every Death Star plot meaningless now, why didn't they just hyperspace fly a ship into the Death Star?


This film doesn't work as its own thing, and it doesn't work as a Star Wars film. How critics can be praising this crap after the treatment they gave Blade Runner 2049 is a mystery to me.… Expand

It turns the subtle humor into pure camp slapstick. It invalidates the original's journey of heroes by placing them all in a universe of ultimate failure, deep self-doubt, and sorrow for what could have been. It destroys well-loved characters in meaningless moments. Literally everything about this film is Anti-StarWars. Massive plot holes and ignored history are almost championed as the CGI dazzles your eyes, and the "powerful females" and "heroes aren't real, everyone is their own hero" memes are inserted erratically and without any real emotion. I think BB-8 is a good metaphor for this movie overall: instead of the charming and beloved character you got with R2D2, here you get a constantly spinning mess with no soul or love, and occasionally the head flies off because humor or something. This movie is an insult to movie-making, an insult to fans of the Star Wars universe, and an insult to storytelling.… Expand

Did no one tell them that Star Wars was popular because people liked it as it was, that people liked the story, characters, and even the serious tone? Is it necessary to turn everything into a superhero movie full of bad jokes? Well, I'm sad for two reasons, first and foremost, I no longer look forward to see any future Star Wars movies, what made them special is not there anymore, and secondly, why all blockbusters have to be carbon copies nowadays? Where did imagination and originality go?? I can't believe that with all the money they have, they cannot do better.

A kind of itch in the back of my sensibility. Something II left the theater on the night I saw Star Wars The Last Jedi thinking that it wasn't a bad movie. It wasn't great. But it wasn't awful. At the same time I left feeling bothered. A kind of itch in the back of my sensibility. Something I couldn't put my finger on. I thought about it all night and into the next day. So I decided I would write out the plot on paper to get out everything i still had in my memory bank. As I wrote I began to see more and more clearly the reasons why I felt the way I did. I felt this way after the first 10 minutes of Aliens 3. I loved Alien and Aliens. Ripley had taken us on a compelling and exciting journey and we left feeling satisfied. I loved the surviving characters that were left at the end of part 2 and felt satisfied that they made it through. And then at the beginning of part 3, the writers kill off every beloved character and impregnate Ripley with an alien so she could die in the way she feared most. This is what The Last Jedi felt like. I wont get into the caricatures they made of every character or the plot holes or the story inconsistencies. But they all exist. and I understand. I think i know why. I think we are at a unique point in history. So much awareness and understanding is exploding in this country. We need more movies where all the women are heroes and martyrs and powerful. And we need more movies where men are shown to be men. reckless and angry and wishy washy and cowardly and power hungry and animal abusers and bullies. I believe there are ways to convey all of this. There are many really good movies that have been doing this wonderfully. But I think with the Last Jedi they tried but failed. I will say that it was alot of fun to see visually. It was gorgeously shot. There were a few very creative ways they expanded the mythology and universe that i really appreciated. The action sequences were riveting. The lightsaber fights were amazing. But I wish it was a different movie. I would say go see it and if you leave thinking it wasn't bad but it wasn't great, leave it there and don't overthink it.… Expand

It was the most emotionally disappointing movie I've seen in my entire life. Never thought I wouldn't care about seeing another new Star Wars movie again, but Rian Johnson proved me wrong.

Little in the story makes sense, and the sequel to The Force Awakens failsThe Last Jedi is a film with lots of window dressing but little in the way of substance or originality. Saying it is poorly written is somewhat of an understatement. Little in the story makes sense, and the sequel to The Force Awakens fails to pick up on many of the unanswered questions left open in the previous film. Events are clumsily forced, resorting to hand-waving at best and having competent characters acting jarringly stupid and out of character at worst.

Many of the scenes in the movie are rehashed versions of scenes from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, with the original participants in the scene substituted by the new cast. Usually there is a little twist making the scene slightly different than the original, but the movie becomes frustrating to watch as it rehashes scenes we’ve seen done better in previous films.

Not only that, but there are major things in both this and The Force Awakens that invalidate previous films and characters and makes you question what was the point of it all? Luke’s efforts to become a Jedi across three films seem wasted when Rey can exceed the power of one of the most powerful Force users in existence in about 20 minutes without having any training. The victory over the Empire means nothing when The First Order simply replaces them with their own playboy-dressing Emperor copy. Clones are no longer needed to have an infinite supply of Stormtroopers for yet again unexplained reasons. Even the victory over Starkiller base in The Force Awakens is disregarded as The First Order now apparently have conquered the entire galaxy, despite them being left vulnerable to retaliation for the atrocities committed in TFA.

While some parts feel a little too much like a video game, the movie’s special effects team and designers have generally done an outstanding job. And it would be unfair to not mention that there are a few very interesting and intense scenes that are not only epic, but also manage to capture the personality and relationship between key characters in the universe. In these moments it’s nice to see what is actually a great cast given an opportunity to show what they can do.

Unfortunately, these moments are rare in a lazily copy-pasted minimum effort story that leaves you wondering why Disney couldn’t be bothered to get a decent writer or writing team on board for such a prestigious project, instead of simply assuming the masses aren’t intellectually capable of looking past the flash, and that the usual review outlets lack the courage or integrity to call a spade a spade.

But maybe the joke’s on us, because ticket sales are sky high and the critic scores are just about doubling the user scores across the web. For me personally, I have lost the appetite for watching the final chapter. But will people forgive the transgression or mindlessly shamble into the dark theater again next year? I fear they might.… Expand

Easiest way to make sense of them and figure out how it really rates as a movie to to simply pay attention to the way that postive reviews are written. You will see a LOT of "Didn't make sense but LOVED it" and "There were tons of odd moments that made me cringe but GREAT film". Ask yourself why even all the positive reviews of 8,9 and even 10 tell you how awkward it was and how they are 'taking a new direction' with the series in this 'turning point' film.

Those are the kindest possible terms for a movie that took a massive steaming dump on all the things we loved about Star Wars prior to this. Heroes? All of the things you thought you knew about the Lore and Characters will be completely washed away by the end of the film. Is Luke a brave hero who risked his life to save his father or a broken, selfish and cowardly vagrant? if you believe the former prepare to be disappointed and confused.

- the new characters are not capable of taking over from the old characters, they are just vague and you feel like there is no point in the whole movie. - the old characters, nearly all of them, seem to be totally different from previous parts. They are not who they were, they have different ideals. - women are strong, brave and clever whereas men are cowardly, stupid or impulsive without brains (in old Star Wars movies we had strong women and men characters and it wasn't pushed, here it is pushed)

All in all, could have been a great movie because I believe old and new could have existed next to each other but they didn't even try to do that, they just wanted to get rid of the old and introduce the new which turned out to be a failure.

The thirty minutes used for the stupid subplot on casino planet could have been well used to explain all the answers to the questions posed in EP 7. I'm really hoping box office will plummet so they know what an incredible disservice they did to fans.

No resolution on Snoke, Knight of Ren, C3PO red arm, Rey's parents etc. The managed to actually make you not care if there is another film. Sadly the director Rian Johnson has been charged with creating another trilogy... The movie lacked originality, this Star Wars is a cross between Space Balls/ Speed (if your star ship slows down below this speed you blow up) and Mary Poppins (Leia). The social justice warriors got a hold of the script made sure every evil person is white, all men an inept, and all women are the fearless always right, wise heroes. They just forgot to make it interesting... Very sad day for the Star Wars franchise.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although visually impressive, this film is a real mess of pointless plots, zero character development, and ultimately unsatisfying gotcha moments which attempt to 'reset' the Star Wars franchise with 'something different' but ultimately leave the viewer confused and confounded. As a stand-alone sci-fi/fantasy flick it is perhaps not too bad, but taken as part of a long epic story it seems to make absolutely zero sense. Cliffhangers and characters set up in the 'The Force Awakens' turn out to be red herrings and are dropped unceremoniously. New characters are introduced (Purple hair lady, random annoying Asian chick) out of the blue apparently to appeal to diversity quotas. Old characters are either killed without ceremony (Admiral Ackbar) or come back to life in Superman style (Leia). Bad comedy permeates nearly every scene, puncturing any attempt to create suspense. What plot points do work are shamelessly ripped off from the original movies.

The franchise's great hero returns and is a miserable old man sitting on a rock who doesn't want to play ball any more. He has gone from being the great optimist to a curmudgeon with a whisky bottle. Why? His teenage nephew was a bit angsty. When he finally gets off his ass to do something he just becomes a hologram or something and vanishes into thin air. Is that it? Luke Skywalker is now Jeff Lebowski with less humour and white russians. The new lead character Rey is able without any explanation to use The Force without any training. Entire subplots divert to meaningless planets which go nowhere. Hamfisted political points (capitalism and patriarchy bad, mmkay) are shoehorned into this film, despite the irony of it being a multi-billion dollar global franchise which never really had a 'diversity problem' in the first instance.

But nothing matters, this film will make squillions of dollars and Disney will milk this cash cow for all it can get (the second thing we see of Luke is him milking some weird alien cow on his rock, surely an in-joke about this very fact) and The Last Jedi will fade into memory while an endless stream of CGI sequels stretch into space and devalue the epic majesty and wonder of the original trilogy. Somewhere in a galaxy not very far far away, fat Hollywood execs are laughing all the way to the bank....… Expand

I find it incomprehensible that they can think that this movie is a modern masterpiece. Even if the logic centres of your brain don't reject the deluge of plot holes, plot armoured characters, and jarringly injected political correctness, the story itself is total pants. This movie is so badly conceived and executed that it actually REDUCES the amount of joy you'll get if you rewatch the older SW movies... well, if your any sort of fan of Luke anyway.

The message of this movie is 'Get with these nihilistic times sister, because being THE hero is lame, and we're all heroes you see, so we all get a prize just for participating'. It doesn't appear that any sort of decent script writer did because the pacing, humour, and shape of the movie are all way off. I imagine director Rian Johnson was given a checklist of crappy ideas and scenarios by Disney that he had to somehow shoehorn into it. That would help to explain the out-of-character and moronic behaviour, and the endless unneeded side stories that often had little, or nothing, to do with the plot. They just burned valuable time that would have better spent world building and developing some of the secondary characters properly. For instance: - What is the rest of the galaxy up to after the events of the previous movie. You'd think some of them would be angry enough to do something. Say what you want about the prequels, but they always made you believe they took place in a vibrant and culturally diverse universe. The stakes just feel so small and inconsequential in this movie when compared to even 'Rogue One'.

Please don't be fooled by the thousands of Disney mandated positive reviews that have been appearing online - this movie is a dog, and it leaves me with absolutely no interest in where these movies are going nor desire to see what happens next.

R.I.P. my childhood hero and role model Luke Skywalker, and commiserations to Mark Hamill. You didn't deserve this treatment at all dude.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Treason to Star Wars by the real Empire, AKA Disney. The prequels became master pieces after this "film". Get ready to see some weird guy called Luke Skywalker, you thought you knew him? Noooope, Mr.Johnson and Ms Kennedy turned him into a bizarre creepy guy who will ALWAYS do the oposite Luke would do.(Can you imagine Aragorn throwing his ancestor's sword comically or refusing fighting Sauron because there is no difference?) There is no bad guy in this movie, Kylo Ren loses again all of his fights and Rey win them all anyone knows why (because they wanted to create a strong and independent female character). They changed Ren's scar because he was ugly with it and removes his helmet at the beginning losing all the strenght the character had with it. He kills his father and doesn't even have dark side eyes? WTF?? Honestly I'd love a female character like Ripley, Sanchez, Imperator Furiosa etc... but no... she doesn't need training or anything else, thats just for male jedi. What about Snoke (lol), Finn, Phasma (lol), Ren Knights, Leia(LOL), R2D2, Chewie etc? Forget them, they wasted. At the end of TESB you cared for absolutely every character, bad one or not, you knew them and watched them evolve and grow. It doesnt happen here, everything is at the same point but filled with many marvel and out of place jokes and new creatures just for merchandising.

Why there is a role for that asian woman? It is ABSOLUTELY unnecessary, but hey, you make a black guy kiss an asian woman and everything is beautiful even if their actions were unnecessary. You can call me racist or another **** like that, and you will be wrong, I dont have any problem with the ethnic of anyone in ANY situation, I only care for his/her act and role, and honestly, her character was forced in order to represent a beautiful and multicultural society (just with the resistance, the bad guys are all of them white males, of course)

My english is bad and I cant explain as I would want, just watch it and judge yourself, but please, dont give your hard owned money to the empire and his minions, even if you find 20 bucks on the floor, they dont deserve it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Putting aside the issues with what fans of the series might expected, the plot made no sense.

If the idea was for Poe to be allowed to help the bombers ships, then why was he told to pull back when all he needed to make the potential mission successful was to destroy one more anti bomber canon? Yes many bombers were destroyed in the mission, more to chance than anything else, (one piece of enemy's ship debris hit one bomber that then causes a chain reaction of explosions that could not have been predicted), but when the mission was started the ideas was to send them non the less, they could have not known they were going to be destroyed, and if they knew, then why the hell would you send Poe to take down the surface canons from the Destroyer in the first place? There's also no reason to not tell Poe about the plans to leave the main Rebel ship as decoy, he's a high ranking officer, and he would not leak the plans to nobody, the only reason he ended up trying another plan was because he was not told what the plan was, that was a completely stupid way to handle your subordinates, telling them to shut up and do as she says? there's a time for a soldier to follow orders, and there is a time when following orders is just stupid, if the soldier knows the value of holding a position its more likely he would hold it because his morale will be high, Poe's morale was at an all time low, he was not only told he was an idiot for making the first plan successful, but also he was not told what the backup plan was, that made not god dam sense.

Finn should have died a hero's dead, and that's that, or if he was not to die, then that whole scene of him trying to kamikaze to stop the laser ramming ray should have been scrapped, It would have added gravitas and weight to the story if he actually was allowed to follow trough, but we can't have that, we need him to be our comic relief...in the next movie...

Luke could have been used much better, and his murdering tendencies toward Kylo made no sense in terms of Luke's psychology, Rey gets no training, which means the whole rest of Star War's ideas are effectively erased, and I would be fine with that, this review is not from a person that thinks Star Wars is the best of the best in terms of scifi, I rather watch Arrival or Interstellar for that matter, but if you are going to make the move to erase the older movies themes, then you could have done it in a way that made sense, for starters find a good reason for Kylo to be as deranged as he is, or was, the movie does not give us enough plot to believe Luke would decide to kill Kylo just like that, the motivations of the characters are paper thin. There's not enough plot, and what there is, is poorly thought out, so then the characters end up doing things because they are angry, or sad, or afraid, but the reasons are poorly explained, and thus the suspension of disbelieve is broken.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My family and I go to Disney World every year. I was extremely happy when Disney obtained the rights for Star Wars because I thought it would be more Star Wars and because Disney usually does an outstanding job with its products. However, I grew up loving Star Wars and Luke Skywalker because Luke would never give up on his father no matter how terrible his father was. But for some reason, Luke no longer had that faithful determination that was the key to his growth in the Original Trilogy. It was obvious that Disney killed off Luke just so they could more easily expand the Star Wars Universe to make more money. They could have done it in a far better way by making him go out showing his true power and saving his friends. How this was not thought of is amazing. Not giving Luke a final amazing lightsaber duel is asinine. The greatest Star Wars character ever was treated like a burdensome character to deal with and so they just did away with him unceremoniously. I understand that I am upset because of how they handled Luke Skywalker and not upset with the quality of the movie itself. However, I think that my rating is appropriate because the source material for the movie was almost entirely disregarded (except for the facts that there are outer space scenes and the Force is involved in the story). If the Lord of the Rings was given a new Trilogy and that trilogy made Aragorn a feeble, depressed character then many fans would freak out on that issue as well.

I am so confounded on how Rian Johnson came to the conclusion that Luke Skywalker would act in the way he did in The Last Jedi. Even Mark Hammill thought his character in The Last Jedi wasn't true to form. The worst part of all is that Disney and Johnson are saying that the divisiveness The Last Jedi has caused is a positive thing. If you are losing half of your fan base how can that possibly be a good thing? It may be sad to some people that I can be so upset about a movie, but Star Wars was such a large part of my childhood (and my adulthood) that tarnishing so many of those happy memories for me if hard to move past. I will no longer be going to Disney after this year. The only reason I am still going this year is because I paid for tickets, a room, and a meal plan before The Last Jedi was released to theaters. Even though I love Disney, I cannot support a company that would so recklessly destroy a source of happiness for so many people. Hopefully, Luke Skywalker isn't dead and just found a way to transport himself through the Force to different locations. That's the only hope I have that Star Wars may not be ruined for good.… Expand

It's a shame because the movie had some bold ideas, but the execution was terrible that I'm surprised the studio actually went ahead with the final product. Worse of all, it adds absolutely nothing to the Star Wars lore and instead, negates almost everything the previous movie, "Force Awakens," set up. It serves no purpose and should never have been approved. There is no overall vision or direction and you cannot claim to be the middle act of a "sequel" trilogy without one. It's almost as if Disney and Rian Johnson wanted to make a "trolling" movie to stir up the fan base. I still have trouble believing anyone can think this mess of a movie is a "masterpiece."

This movie changed Luke Skywalker from a brave Truth seeker fighting evil into one about a confused wastrel whose only wisdom is "everything's relative dude." By extension this movie transformed Star Wars from a story about spiritual warriors seeking a higher truth and defending the galaxy from Luciferian evil to a story about social Justice warriors. All meaning has been sucked out of the myth. The deep religious undertones that made this story so resonant have been replaced with nihilism, post-modernism and cultural Marxism.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It has been a sad year for Star Wars. First Star Wars Battlefront 2 with all the microtransactions and pay to win mechanic.
I didn't think anything worse could happen. I underestimated Disney.

First what they ruin about the original trilogy: Han's character development in the OT has been completely undone. He's back to smuggling and being egotistical. His dead was incredibly stupid. Leia has had her republic for 30 years only to end up with less rebels and an empire that is less human than the OT one, has 2 clowns as Palpatine and Vader. Luke was a beacon of hope and someone who would always be there for friends and family. His life was rough but he became the hero the rebellion needed even if that meant his life was on the line. In TLJ you will learn that Luke becomes an utter failure with low self esteem, couldn't care less about his former friends/family and goes to a cage to die. On top of all that: Vader, Luke, Yoda, Obi-Wan and Palpatine are incredibly weak in the force if you see what an untrained Rey can do. She's completely overpowered and wins at everything. Mechanic? Np. Pilot? Np. Beat Luke and Kylo in combat, np. This destroys the entire 2 other trilogies and Star Wars in general.

The new characters do not get any character development. The story is stupid and unimaginative (has been done a gazzilion times in pretty much ALL sci-fi series). Can't they come up with something better with the money and writers who work for a blockbuster movie? This movie has no idea how space works (bombs falling down as if ships have enough gravity pull (death stars is an exception because of their HUGE mass). Leia floating around in Space for some time after not being hit by anything apparently. People opening the door to let her in: problems opening a door in space. Phasma was once again completly useless. Snoke was a total pushover. Force users have a "force aura" around them. Otherwise Jedi and Sith could just flip each others lightsaber off in duel or make them trip etc. Killing Snoke because he wasn't paying attention shouldn't be possible. Space and Star Wars? This movie doesn't get it.

Also Kylo Ren? Is he a joker character for whatever side needs him the most? He should be in a mental hospital.

It ruined the OT, it destroys loved characters, adds lackluster new characters, doesn't have a good story... Great shots though. Good CGI. I would rate this movie as being average. Probably rather direct to DVD. But bc it is a blockbuster with the Star Wars label which doesn't just destroys itself but the OT as well I cannot not give it a 0.… Expand
