Loved the movie, It was unique I noticed none of the main characters succeeded, this is a film, about failure and looking to the future, failure is important to the human condition, just as The Last Jedi is important for the future of Star Wars.

It's a very interesting movie that usurps your expectations and hopes but does it in a way that makes sense. Movie critics seem to love it. After seeing it, I thought fans we're going to be more divided. This ended up being the case. I think this is because while the movie is not disrespectful to Star Wars, it is not overly reverent. It does not bow to fan theories or the fanfics theorists created in their head. Part of me is slightly disappointed in some of the story decisions. Still, I thought the movie was very well done.

The ironic part is that people are going to hate this movie for the exact opposite reason as the Force Awakens. The Force Awakens was like a chocolate cake. It was super delicious but somewhat simplistic. This movie is deeper and the flavor is going to drive some people away. The Last Jedi could be called the new Empire. This is not because it follows the same story beats as Empire but it is Empire in the sense that it leaves the audience unsure of how to respond. Like I said, I liked it. I need to watch it again a few more times. While it did not follow the epic I wrote in my head or the old EU, I do not think it's trash. I am not sure if this is simply a good Star Wars movie or if it is something truly special. As far as criticisms go, I think the movie has some pacing issues and not all the dialogue works. Not a negative but some of the character decisions might make fans uncomfortable. The plus is that this movie is something new and it has breathtaking visuals.… Expand

A bold, ambitious, and utterly mesmerizing ride through the Star Wars universe, the Last Jedi has the guts to NOT give fans what they've been asking for, which is exactly what the franchise needs. As an avid fan, and a writer, I have spentA bold, ambitious, and utterly mesmerizing ride through the Star Wars universe, the Last Jedi has the guts to NOT give fans what they've been asking for, which is exactly what the franchise needs. As an avid fan, and a writer, I have spent many years thinking about what I have wanted from Star Wars, and what I would do were I ever given the chance to take the helm. TLJ went about as far from my idealized version of Star Wars as possible, and yet I could not be more pleased about that. You can’t experience the joy of discovery and surprise, if you receive what you were expecting.

After the sugar-coated suppository that was The Force Awakens, Disney has finally taken the Star Wars saga in a bold new direction, where the struggle of good vs evil has been skewed more toward a realm of grey. Rather than the done-to-death formula of J.J. Abrams' entry in the series, Rian Johnson has delivered a complex and emotionally-saturated work of art, that makes the audience work to find the meaning behind each scene, rather than spoon-feeding it to them as though they are toddlers. Some of the greatest decisions Johnson has made are sure to infuriate rabid fans, but in time it will become clear that the direction he chose to take these characters and storylines was ultimately best for the series.

While shy of a masterpiece, this film does an admirable job of trying to please the three target demographics (Children, adult fans who have grown up with Star Wars, and adult fans who have wanted Star Wars to grow up alongside them). This is accomplished largely by creating a subplot to appeal to each group, be it Finn's wacky, child-friendly adventure, the truly space operatic struggle of the Resistance, and the complex and ever-shifting relationship between Rey, Kylo, and Luke. While this does not always work, and at times the tone of the film feels truly all over the place, it is a worthy trade-off to see the franchise grow beyond its roots, and strive to be more than just a repeat of what has come before.

It should also be noted that this movie is greatly enhanced by multiple viewings. Not only does it help to strip away the viewer's preconceptions (which is the biggest hurdle TLJ must face), it also allows one to pick up on the carefully-woven threads of story that were place so expertly and subtly, that they are almost impossible to see the first time around.

In conclusion, The Last Jedi is a flawed, but ultimately rich and rewarding experience, for those that are willing to accept that the movie they created in their mind was never going to be the movie that ended up on the screen.… Expand

Well lads it's finally here, that magical time of the year where Star Wars has finally graced our cinema screens yet again. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting in a dark cinema with that pause after "A long time ago in a galaxyWell lads it's finally here, that magical time of the year where Star Wars has finally graced our cinema screens yet again. There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting in a dark cinema with that pause after "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." when that glorious music starts and the title screen appears.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is like getting repeatedly hit in the face with nostalgia, but if you thought the Porgs were the biggest concern well think again. Picking up almost immediately from The Force Awakens. For the most part The Last Jedi feels strongly like a combination of Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. With a few twists and turns and a not so lovely section in the middle that felt like it came straight out of George Lucas's imagination. This is the 8th Star Wars movie now (no Rogue One you don't count) so they had to up the stakes and it won't let you down in that area. It's good, I liked it but I didn't love it. The Last Jedi feels like it's missing something, the wow factor. This new trilogy might have peaked at The Force Awakens, but if it helps The Last Jedi is better than all the prequels and Rogue One combined.

Every single actor is giving it their all and loving every minute of it. Carrie Fisher is magnificent and there is no way you would want to miss her final performance as Leia Organa. Domhnall Gleeson gave another chilling performance as General Hux. Adam Driver took his character to another level I didn't even think he had. Sure you have your general clichés and humour thrown into the script but that's to be expected. Amazingly for all the time that has passed in the life of Luke Skywalker he is the exact same as he was when we last saw him onscreen. Any apparent character development is non-existent. He's still the same whiny annoyance he was in the original Star Wars trilogy, the only thing that's changed is his age. The beginning and the end is the best thing about The Last Jedi, but I could have done without all that stuff in the middle about finding your true self with scenes reminiscent of the Never Ending Story. It kills the story dead and upset the pace set in the opening scenes. Maybe if it had lost 20 minutes and made the scenes with Luke just a little more interesting I might have loved it, or at least put it on the same level as The Force Awakens.

It answers the questions asked in The Force Awakens. The visual effects and the ultra creative lightsaber fights will make your inner fanboy go crazy. It's a Star Wars movie you can enjoy so what more can we expect? Nothing will ever top Empire Strikes Back so we just have to take what we can get and although The Last Jedi isn't a masterpiece it's entertaining and enjoyable. Recommended, but if you're already a Star Wars fan you don't need any recommendation, you've already seen it.… Expand

It's been done for a wide range of people and little new fans. Times are different from 40 years ago. We should open our point of view before judging this movie. I've found some scenes frustrating - i.e. Leia in space...wtf? - the Casino part is horrible. Luke's struggle within it's lacking of passages, too Obi Wan style. Even if since the very beginning he was a kind of pessimist - i.e. Yoda's training on Dagobah. I felt the force only in few passages. It's not what I wanted to see. But objectively Ryan Johnson made a great work.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie delivers one of the biggest "wtf"-moments you'll see in your life in theaters, and has delightful performances by Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, Mark Hamill and so many more of the cast.
Some characters die before you really get to know them, which feels a bit like a shame but which is what the extended universe is for I guess. Finn's entire storyline does feel exactly the same as it was in TFA, which is a shame and the worst bit of the movie for me. They could have been more original in that regard.
Johnson made some decisions I wouldn't have made in writing and shooting the movie, but all in all it is a great movie, with its heart in the right place, and which might leave people a bit depressed at the end of it.

The lesson of this movie is failure, but I look forward to how much higher these characters will be able to soar in the last chapter of this trilogy.

The creature designs were amazing and used at the appropriate times to bring some lightheartedness into an otherwise very dark movie.… Expand

In many ways it was quite different from the previous Star Wars films, but in the greatest way possible. Wilst boldly pushing the plot forward and being a new kind of Star Wars movie it does much more than live up to my expectations, indeed it exceeds them. Not only does The Last Jedi tastefully honor the Star Wars legacy, it dares take the storyline to unexpected places. For me it was the best Star Wars movie to date – I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and I cared deeply about what happened to the characters on screen. I love good character development and I feel that was The Last Jedi's strongest point along with the incredible connection between Rey and Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. I'm very impressed that Rian Johnson was bold enough to take the franchise in the direction he did by building on the groundwork J.J. Abrams had set up in The Force Awakens and writing this incredible story about the characters we all know and love. I can't wait to see what Abrams will do with what Rian has made here.
The Last Jedi has a few delightful callbacks to the previous films without relying on nostalgia to drive it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I remember watching Star Wars: A New Hope for the first time when I was 5 years old. It had me on the edge of the couch glued to the television screen. I was in love with the show, and I all wanted to do was play Star Wars with my friends and reenact the scenes. The love I have for Star Wars as a franchise has only grown since then. Unlike a significant amount of people who didn’t like the prequels, I did, because it was Star Wars and there was more to learn about it. Now as a 32 year old man; my love for Star Wars has been reignited since the release of The Force Awakens. The first time that I saw the trailer, it sent chills down my spine and I fell in love with it all over again. I absolutely loved the movie and I can say that The Last Jedi was nothing short of that. For those of us that dove into the expanded universe of Star Wars, you know the rule of two. This was a perfect example of that, and Kylo like most Sith apprentices want to kill their master. He was given the opportunity and he took it. Kylo is the perfect antagonist to Rey and I cannot wait to see episode nine. For those of us who are true Star Wars fans, we love that its back and look forward to the release of future stories. The force is limitless, and for those who are complaining about aspects of Leia using the force to float back to the ship, let’s be honest, that’s not the craziest thing you’ve seen a force user do. So, in the end, those of us that are true Star Wars fans, loved the movie and thank Disney for rekindling our love for it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me tell you, I am not going to say this movie is good just because it is star wars because the facts are it was probably one of the weak points in this saga and really felt no better than the cringey prequels. It tries to hard to find humour in what is supposed to be a mostly serious movie and just feels off in star wars. Another thing I found very strange was the unbelieveabilty of some sequences, such as Leia being the only survivor of a massive ship explosion (what a coincidence) and kills off a fan favourite (Ackbar)to introduce Laura Dern into the mix. It definitely also tries to hard to introduce lots of other characters such as Rose, who accompanies Finn through the movie and then dies at the end. I mean, what was the point? Also, none of the rumours or theories turned out to be true leaving a lot disappointed after watching. It really didn't seem like the saga progressed and just felt like a filler for a hopefully much better Episode IX.… Expand

Rian Johnson pushes the boundaries and takes the series by the horns and attempts something different that to me felt very satisfying by the end credits. Thematically minded and character driven with an excellent score and visual effects to die for. It's a shame that the dire Episode 9 failed to build upon this with something even more bold but for me, this remains the highlight of this new trilogy.… Expand

If "Force Awakens" (which I liked) fell too much on the "same" side of the equation, this film falls a bit too much for me on the side of being "different," to the point where it often doesn't feel like a Star Wars movie. But I doubt most of us (myself included) could have done any better if we had somehow been put in charge.

The best Star Wars movies, even in their darkest moments, had an element of hope of them. There was fun and joy in them. This film, from director-writer Rian Johnson, often feels too bleak and cynical to be enjoyed. (It's very much in line with "Looper," another film by Johnson.) So, respectfully, I have to say this movie isn't for me.… Expand

It is a bold and innovative film. It works both structurally and aesthetically. The few flaws I can identify in the movie do not change my opinion that this is the best Star Wars movie, along with The Empire Strikes Back.

It's also so disappointing that Rise of Skywalker retcon'd Rey's past, as I thought leaving her unlinked to any majoy bloodline made things so much more interesting. THJ set a beautiful table that was unique and special to this new trilogy. Too bad JJ came back to overlay tired overplayed storylines to conclude it in Skywalker.

It defies your expectations at every turn, and that seems to be why so many people have a problem with it. For the first time in a LONG time, I was legitimately on the edge of my seat, physically tensed up, not knowing what would happen. Beautiful thematic messages permeate the entire story (the role that failure plays in our lives, as well as the idea to "Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to"), and there is a LOT of story. The long run time is absolutely justified for me, and I honestly would have been fine with it being even longer. A joy for a Star Wars fan eager to see something new.… Expand

People beg for originality and creativity and when they get it, guess what? They hate it or spit on it. This is the reason why we don't get original ideas/concepts. Alright onto the film. First of all the actors and performances were all incredible, but Mark Hamill steals every single shot when he is in frame. Also Daisy and Adam are incredible. They better be right? They are the lead roles after all, but well done. The movie looked incredible down to every detail in design, costumes and CGI, and you can not forget about the creature models/designs. Some of the best creatures I've seen in a movie in a while. The story I felt was really engaging and felt more complete this time. It felt more of a fantasy and oddly enough a thriller at least to me. It has all the Star Wars fighting, lasers and Stormtroopers dying, along side some really awesome 1 on 1 fights and some surprises I did not see coming sprinkled in. Overall if you are a fan of Rian's work or just love Star Wars see it in theaters, and actually give originality and creativity a chance it might actually shock you.… Expand

I do understand a lot of people wanted Rey's parents to be these people, or Snoke to be this guy, or Benicio Del Toro to play this kind of character, and when they didn't get what they got, it really upset them. Probably because Star Wars is truly owned by its fanbase. That said, if I have to accept the prequels as canon, you're going to have to accept this new trilogy as canon.

No doubt a difficult task to achieve, the film takes the liberties of being clearly a Rian Johnson film, while at the same time being a natural progression for the Star Wars canon going forward.
While most character's storylines and relationships work beautifully (specially Rey and Luke), there is one storyline involving a set of characters which seemed to slow the film considerably, and which did not end up paying-off in a fulfilling coherent way.
Other than that, the performances from all returning cast seem more alive and "meaty", and all new faces blend perfectly into the ongoing story with ease.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Theories are over people, this movie made the biggests twists in Star wars history and I liked them all. I know that most of us want some things to happen in a certain way because we are fans, but if that was the case, then there would be no surprise and no moving foward to the franchise.

Things I hated:
-Leia Superman
-Daisy Ridley's mediocre acting at the 1st half of the film.

Things I liked:
+Everything else

This movie was never boring and had some awesome fight scenes. Most people are sad because of how the film went, for example: when did Luke did something powerful in the originals? Never!, he only tried to turn his father to the light. Fans put a lot of old characters in a pedestal and that's why they didn't liked this film. Rey's parentage was also very well handed, but fans disagree wanting her parentage to be from a known family. But isn't the galaxy inmense or infinite? Fan theories are only that, just fan theories. If she would have been from a known family like Kenobi, Skywalker or Palpatine that's just lazy and making the galaxy more little than The Bahamas islands.

Overall this film is about the new generation & letting the past die, it's original and doesn't copy Ep. V. The way it ended, it will certainly make Episode IX a very unique film.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gorgeous, challenging, and character-focused. While this movie definitely has a few issues, I think a lot of the criticism is that it takes familiar characters and story beats and subverts them, telling fans that they need to be able to look to the past and enjoy it but not let it tether them to what they think the franchise would be. Several characters are killed off that had potential, and while in the case of Snoke it certainly makes sense thematically, not even giving him two lines to explain where he comes from is a little bit of a misstep.

While the majority of the cast gets some great development, Rose and DJ unfortunately remain a little flat. I love Rose, but her feelings for Finn came from nowhere, and DJ was basically only a plot device.

The movie has some gorgeous shots, from space battles to the juxtaposition of red and white on the planet Crait. Using Luke to deconstruct the old ways of the Jedi was fascinating, and while he has moments of conflict and weakness, he never strays from the Luke we knew. He’s still ultimately someone who wants to help, who wants to make things right, and even through his guilt he maintains that.

There are moments of awkward humor, the milking scene in particular stands out to me. Of course, several of the serious moments end up ridiculous, but it wouldn’t be Star Wars without the narm charm.

The Last Jedi isn’t perfect, but it’s intelligent and challenges the conventions of the series while still maintaining the central themes of the series: standing up against oppression, and hope against all odds. It’s going to make fans angry, but it’s exactly what Star Wars needed.… Expand

Granted, it wasn't perfect. Some of the writing felt clunky (but really, clunky writing is as much a part of Star Wars as lightsabers?) some of the jokes were great, others felt forced. It felt like the film was overstuffed, too many characters, too many sub plots. The Last Jedi would have been a stellar eight episode tv series, too bad. But still awesome.

It is evident why Lucasfilm felt so confident in Rian Johnson, to give him the keys to a new trilogy. There is a real confidence in his storytelling, and the humor laces itself in at just the right moments. The best moments in the movie were not teased out in the trailers.

It's a divisive film among fans, I had to watch it a couple times and to start to fully appreciate what it was trying to do. This film isn't without it's faults: the Master Codebreaker subplot was botched and wastes Finn and Rose, Finn should have sacrificed himself at the end of the film and I still don't agree with how Luke was portrayed in the film. Nonetheless, it was a pretty good movie. Divisive, but good.… Expand

How can you simultaneously complain because the movie wrapped too many story lines up and then also complain that nothing was resolved in it? I loved how it subverted many of my expectations while still definitely feeling like a Star Wars film - clearly others did not.

I've seen every Star Wars since 1977 at the cinema. Multiple times. This one? I'll see it one more time, at IMAX and then wait for the Bluray release. It was a true popcorn sci fi movie, humorous comments, wicked action and some brutal fights, especially the one between Rey , Ren and the imperial guards.

I can appreciate why a lot of folks wouldn't like this film, and also why a lot of people would like it. The only thing that left me cold was...

The fact that Luke Skywalker was poorly realised, under implemented and his character ultimately wasted. Once he saw Reys potential, he bucked up his ideas and started training her. All good. BUT...when Rey handed him his fathers light sabre, he instantly threw it away. THIS TOTALLY WOULD NOT HAPPEN.

Then there was the final act. An example of Lukes awesome control of the force, but once completed.....

He simply " lets go " of his mortal existence and fades into the force. What a complete waste. It struck me at first that Luke had willingly allowed this to happen and that he had committed suicide. A few hours later, a line Kylo came out with earlier in the film came to mind, when he first communicated with Rey within the force, he says something like " How are you doing this? This should be tearing you apart". This comment implies that force projection is very hard and very dangerous to do, and I see now, why that line was included . But it still doesn't make me feel better that Luke has been written out of the Star Wars saga. First we lose Han and now Luke in the films, and of course Carrie in real life. A real shame. I would have rather seen each character say their goodbyes and ride off into the sunset myself, but no, the new star wars movies have killed them. A real shame...

But....I'll still go see this again, there's enough good stuff in the film to almost counter balance the films other events, but the Canto Bight scenes were a tad pointless and drawn out, the whole lot could have been done in a five minute heist scene in my opinion.

So, there you go. I'm going again, and I'll buy it on Bluray, but the loss of Luke will sting forever. As it does with Han.

This movie isThose who reviewed this movie as a masterpiece or a pile of horsesh*t need to chill. This movie has noticeable problems, but it is not even close to the same level as Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones in terms of quality. This movie is okay, not great or horrid, just simply okay. I loved the acting (especially Ridley and Driver as Rey and Ren). The action set pieces (namely the last one), CG, and practical effects were grand as per usual in Star Wars movies. Plus, it added some interesting insight into the jedi, sith, and the force through Luke's scenes. However, there are two major problems to talk about: plot conveniences (ex-machinas) and the fact the story was far too safe by the end of the film. There are far too many conveniences with regard to things like the force and BB-8 (after you've seen the film, you'll understand) that move the plot forward when they really should not and come off as lazy writing. It also happens to make these characters look invincible with no stakes or sense of danger. With regard to my second argument, after a certain event which I will not spoil, I thought the story and universe could shift drastically and truly create a unique Star Wars film unlike any before. In the end, though, it abandons that risk completely and takes the low hanging fruit instead. Long story short, I feel a better story could have arose from these concepts and the questions left unanswered or answered poorly in this film from TFA. Overall, I did enjoy my time watching this movie, but it was far from great. However, I am concerned about the future of the franchise and the overreaction by this fanbase.… Expand

In fact it has some really great moments that bridge the gap to even the original trilogy. And I commend the movie and Rian Johnson for taking some big risks and going to unexpected places. The problem is that overall, the result is pretty confusing and alien to the franchise.

The Last Jedi doesn't exactly feel like a continuation of what we saw in the last film, and it doesn't seem to lead anywhere that is very interesting. Characters often act like different people, and MANY things that were set up in The Force Awakens (in some cases as intriguing and important, but even inconsequential things) are paid off to little effect. But at the same time, the actions that take place throughout the film aren't resolved in a way that is compelling, so it feels less exciting than tedious to have to wait for the next installment.

The Last Jedi is a well-intentioned sequel but unfortunately slight mishandlings and some structural problems result in an entry that probably won't be beloved by many people. It's worth getting your butt into a movie theatre seat, but be ready to forget the movie very soon after seeing it.… Expand

I wondered if Disney would be bold enough to break the mold and venture to the unfamiliar and untested. The Last Jedi proved to me that this trilogy deserves to exist, and that a new Star Wars can be fresh and creative without using the past as a crutch. The sequel trilogy now has a thesis statement, characters that have been properly fleshed out, and an exciting direction that finally engrossed me in this side of the saga. It's not flawless, but Star Wars desperately needed to be creative and gutsy again, and The Last Jedi manages this with the ingenuity the series deserves.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. SPOILER ALERT!!!!


O novo episódio de "Guerra nas Estrelas'' joga com a expectativa criada de que seria um remake d'O Império contra-ataca, de modo similar que ''O Despertar da Força'' emula ''Uma Nova Esperança''. As situações estão todas lá, construídas perfeitamente para que os mesmos jargões sejam usados de forma segura e nostálgica. No entanto, os temas subjacentes sofrem mudanças importantes, e a solução do conflito tende sempre à surpresa.

E são todas ótimas surpresas, que revigoram a mitologia da saga ao mesmo tempo que permitem a expansão de seu universo. Os avisos de Luke para Rey, ''Isso não vai se passar do modo que você imagina'' e ''O que você acha que eu faria, pegaria uma espada laser e sairia pela galáxia para dizimar a Primeira Ordem?'', são emblemas que permitem ao roteirista Rian C. Johnson navegar por mares conhecidos através de correntes pouco aproveitadas.

Assim com em "O Império contra-ataca", dois arcos principais se desenvolvem simultaneamente até que confluem no terceiro ato. No primeiro deles, espera-se uma reedição do treinamento em Dagobah. Rey é enviada pela Resistência e apresenta a Luke as credenciais de ter sido recomendada por Leia.

Assim como Yoda, Luke se mostra relutante em relação a nova discípula, mas por motivos bem diferentes. O mestre sabe que o conflito entre os jedi e os sith cega para uma harmonia maior, que, ao ser ignorada, reproduz o embate em escala ampliada. Desse modo, sua decisão é se isolar na ilha mais sagrada da Ordem até encontrar a paz necessária para que possa morrer, levando consigo todo o legado do qual se tornaria o último representante. Skywalker concede três lições a Rey, buscando fazer com que a moça compreenda a necessidade do fim dos Jedi. Por trás de todos os vínculos se esconde esse poder, essa força, que também está presente em todos os seres. Luke demonstra a vaidade que está por trás da crença de que a ''luz se extinguiria sem os Jedi''.

Não que o nosso heroi se livre da tentação do apego à realidade em que cresceu. Ele hesita quando se trata de destruir a árvore sagrada da Ordem, que marca seu centro cósmico e esconde seus textos originais. Luke não sabe se a hora realmente chegou. Sua indecisão é rompida pela presença mágica de Yoda, que coloca fim à materialidade da história Jedi e dá uma lição no antigo discípulo: não há nada nos livros destruídos que Rey já não soubesse, e não cabe a esse ou aquele mestre estabelecer a hora do término do conflito entre luz e sombras. O que cabe ao mestre é transmitir o que aprendeu, incluindo o poder que se esconde por trás de seus fracassos.

Rey, por sua vez, continua em sua jornada marcada pela carência de raízes. Ela projeta a figura paterna em Skywalker, do mesmo modo que projetara em Han Solo. Sua ânsia pelo fim da rejeição a leva diretamente para o confronto contra o lado obscuro, e ela vê seus múltiplos e aparentemente infindáveis reflexos, que representam camadas de seu ser, em uma sucessão desesperadora que, quando enfrentada, a conduz mais uma vez a si mesma e à sua própria solidão. Essa solidão, por sua vez, a abre para a influência de Ben Solo.

O líder dos cavaleiros de Ren também enfrenta o mesmo tema da libertação de qualquer dualidade, que nele toma a forma de ruptura com o passado. O novo deve suplantar o contexto e as estruturas já estabelecidas. Luz, sombras, Jedi, Sith, pais, mestres, rebeldes, Império pertenceriam ao passado da saga. O futuro está em seu vínculo com Rey, cuja carência pretende suprir ao revelar à menina aquilo que ela já desconfiava: ela não é ''ninguém'', não pertence a nenhuma linhagem nobre que lhe dê direito de tomar parte significativa na história dos Skywalker. Seu papel seria dependente de sua relação com o filho de Han e Leia.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is my favorite Star Wars film since TESB. I stand by that. It is a film about disappointment, but not itself one. It is about tragic mistakes, and the inevitable betrayal of life that is that immortal truth: all things must change, and die. And we either accept change, or become tyrants, great or small, to prevent it.

It celebrates what we love about Star Wars as entertainment, but is not afraid, by embracing the underlying philosophy of what Star Wars represents as MORE than mere entertainment, to then burn all of that to the ground. Because it must.

FULL SPOILERS follow.

Why did the paragon of good consider killing Ben Solo? And why is Rey so powerful if she isn't a Skywalker, or otherwise "special?" Those questions are answered, but are also not the point.

As Yoda tells Luke, there was nothing in the Jedi traditions that Rey did not already have within her. This despite her not apparently having any special lineage. This, solely because of her choices, and because the Force wills it.

People don’t want to hear this, but I’m going to say it because I am convinced of its essential truth: people over time have forgotten what George Lucas' original intent with Star Wars was. Much like Luke lost his way once beyond the idealistic confines of his heroic youth. (If you believe The Last Jedi "ruined Star Wars," ironically because of Luke's characterization in part no doubt, I'm talking directly about you. Yes, you.)

Star Wars was never about midichlorian counts and force powers or even lightsaber duels.

No. It was about a small group of rebels defying a fascist empire. It was about previous generations' failures and their conflicts with the next generation to follow them (the people they failed, be it their students, or their children - or a whole generation in the abstract.) It was about hope, and how the unlikeliest people can change the course of history. It was also about a mystical force that binds all life together, and about the need to LET GO - to be selfless - instead of trying to CONTROL AND PRESERVE all things, in order to be one with it. (A great irony of this fandom.)

In case people missed one of the major points of the prequels (in fairness, in part because it was poorly communicated): Despite all his hyped up "highest midichlorian count I've ever seen in a life form" potential, his hubris, greed, and tragic fall destroyed Anakin Skywalker. His "special space bloodline" did not save him, or the galaxy.

It was only a choice he made in the end that saved the galaxy, NOT his bloodline or his midichlorians. There is a reason for that. George Lucas’ story is not elitist, but rather, egalitarian. The midicholorians, while canonically relevant, were THEMATICALLY a red herring, and a CAUTIONARY TALE. People missed that, apparently.

The prequels were also the story of a Democracy dying due to apathy and greed, and how good people turn bad. It was NOT the story of a "chosen one" whose blood made him stronger than others (or did you forget he was defeated in a rather Faustian manner by someone with a perfectly ordinary "midichlorian count" in Obi-Wan?)

Lucas' point and intent was to say: none of that stuff matters if you're a selfish person willing to side with someone like Sidious. But the message people got instead, unfortunately, was: Anakin being born of the Force and having an unparalleled midichlorian count are what makes him special, and therefore all subsequent protagonists must be similarly special and elite in some way in order to be powerful, or nothing makes sense and Star Wars is broken. (And by extension, his son Luke must also be without flaw, apparently.)

Meanwhile, unlike Anakin, Obi-Wan and Yoda - both with canonically lower midichlorian counts - recognized their failures and changed because of them, going on to be great heroes because of their humility. And Luke, with minimal training next to Vader, had the wisdom to throw down his lightsaber and reject hate, even if it meant his death. (At least, the Luke of 30+ years ago did. People change. But I digress...)

That was the point. That was Lucas’ message: Be selfless, resist evil, and anyone can be a hero, even if they aren't "chosen ones." THAT IS STAR WARS.

To say Rey cannot be a hero unless she is a Skywalker or Kenobi or Force messiah is the OPPOSITE of the philosophy of Star Wars. And, ironically, it's exactly that point to which Rian Johnson has returned. TLJ shows us things we don't like, but need to accept - much like Luke & Rey. That our heroes aren't perfect. That people change and make mistakes even after great triumphs. That the old must give way to the new, or the old becomes oppressive. That your bloodline doesn't make you powerful (or weak,) your choices do. That heroes and hope continue to rise even in the midst of pervasive darkness. That was the point of the stable boy with the broom at the end, by the way. And that was also, ultimately, THE POINT OF STAR WARS.… Expand

Probably not, but it does at least match 'The Empire Strikes Back'. I do feel I'll need to see it again to take everything in and not watch it while tired, but overall I left the screen quite pleased. Rian Johnson creates a strong and unique work, and while I can see some things annoying some fans but the movie takes bold steps and it mostly works. As far as cast goes, everyone is quite strong. Adam Driver really gets to come into his own as Kylo Ren and Daisy Ridley seems more comfortable as Rey and has some struggles to overcome this time around and it makes her a more compelling hero. Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are the best version of Luke and Leia that they've ever been, strong characters worn down by years of struggles, fighting and loss. Oscar Isaac deserves a particular shout out, his Poe Dameron becomes an essential but reluctant leader and he shines as the naive trigger happy star pilot who needs to learn about making the tough call and you can see they realise how he was wasted in 'The Force Awakens'. I won't start stating what I disliked as it may run into spoiler territory and that'd be unfair on anyone who hasn't seen this film yet, but it's more that there was a number of small issues that added up to be annoying rather than one big thing and in the grand scheme of the film, it still comes out looking pretty good.… Expand

So let the angry fans shouting hate, by pointing plot issues, their own projections toward character - all of this doesn't have sense : the Last Jedi is an analogy, one that combines so well with the rest of the saga, an analogy of how is our world, our politics, our moral judgements and more. People should focus on these aspects rather than reducing a movie - which is a piece of art - to a cartoon, to a sum of characters, to a simple story. Star Wars has always been a contradiction between scale, between a family drama and a powers ruling the entire galaxy, a contradiction that remind us of our own world. The last scene of the Last Jedi is just showing us how can we handle this, it gives us hope.… Expand
