Despite the criticism, TFA felt like Star Wars, in TLJ with BB8 saving the day one too many times (and driving an ATST no less) along with the chase through the casino grounds that did nothing but prove how over the top "hollywood" for lack of a better word they sold out. Slap-stick humor isn't wit, new characters doesn't equate to character development, poor editing mixed with a sloppy if not lazy script make this, simply put: a bad movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a lifelong starwars fan I feel insulted, hurt and utterly not listened to or understood. It feels to me like Disney is trying to reignite a flame, a flame that inspired millions of children all over the world and started one of the biggest nerd cultures in existence. For me it's ok to create episodic Startrek movies, because the story lines are often disconnected and have situational meanings. This isn't the case for starwars. Starwars is a saga, a continuation of events that have to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. NONE OF THE EVENTS LINE UP.

1) It is assumed Leia is a Jedi, when is this confirmed in official cannon? did Luke teach her? Did she discover most of this on her own? 0.o Where does this connect or have any meaning to the original movies?
2) Kylo Ren is a completely ridiculous character. He is a comic book villain, designed to please a crowd of 14-18 year olds with emotional issues. Looking for a father figure but never finding it and hoping the world will bask him in sympathy.
3) Snoke is killed off at the half way point. WHY!? He is the most mysterious and story driving character to appear in over a DECADE of starwars, he has powers that match the emperor if not succeed him, yet he's killed instantly by Kylo, yes a man who can basically see into the future, remain force cloaked for long periods of time... IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
4) When does the Empire develop a moral compass? Last time I checked the majority of it was a CLONE army and always has been a CLONE army yet they're now recruiting for the massed populas of millions of worlds? To have them leak secret plans, turn on the empire... Christ.... I dunno

This movie has no direction, no purpose, it simply wipes the floor clean so Disney can create it's own cannon separate from the Lucas cannon. Kylo Ren is right when he says, "Let the past die" too right.

Disney have killed Starwars.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I actually created an account so I could give this movie a horrible review. I am not a bot no matter what Disney would like to tell you.

Here are my beefs:

1. Luke Skywalker is a different character than the original movies. If you want to have a character arc where he changes and becomes a hermit fine, but you NEED TO SHOW IT. I did not buy that he would have tried to kill Ben Solo since he exhibited the slightest amount of darkness. Remember he threw his light saber down and would not fight against Darth Freaking Vader and the emperor so he could save him. How am I expected to believe that he is now a completely opposite person? This is the same guy who told the emperor: "You're Wrong, I am a Jedi, Like my father before me."

2. Rey is now all of a sudden a Jedi because what, She meditated on a rock for about 2 minutes? That is all of the training she needs to become a Jedi? She is after all a strong confident woman so the rules don't apply. Luke was on Degobah for months and he was still not ready to face Vader and escaped by the skin of his teeth. She is the biggest Mary Sue in the history of cinema.

3. Apparently you can breath in space now. (See Leia/Bomber Pilot - Also there is no gravity in space so how did she "drop" the bombs?)

4. Leia turning into Mary Poppins was the worst thing I have ever seen in a movie, any movie, EVER. Also, no one on the ship is sucked out after the door is opened, neither do they find it in the least bit curious that she survived the vacuum of space. She also has exactly ZERO Jedi training or any training with the force whatsoever but now she can use it to do **** that Luke Skywalker was never able to do?

5. Snoke - What the hell is his back story, where did he come from and how did he create the first order? No need to explain any of that, just go ahead and kill him.

6. What the hell did Luke die from? Meditating too hard?

7. Luke sucking on the tit of some engorged sea cow. WTF?

8. So Snoke can control and read the mind of Kilo Ren but he does not anticipate that Kilo Ren was about to kill him? WTF?

9. The whole plot about the rebels trying to stay out of range of the first order ships was so so so so so stupid and unbelievable. You mean to tell me that the first order does not have any other ships that could track them down? Also when you are in space you DO NOT NEED FUEL to keep going! And can you remember any other time in Star Wars movies where the had to pull over to gas up?

10. The whole Finn/Rose storyline was a complete waste of time. Rose is the worst character since Jar Jar Binks. I think they just added her to show another minority on the screen and for her to scream about how awful rich and white people are. She serves no other purpose. The blatant feminism and SJW crap in this movie is so out of place. All men are portrayed as bumbling idiots or evil (or both) and all women are amazing and can do nothing wrong, need no training to use the force, and are so much smarter than men.

11. Laura Dern had perhaps the worst acting performance I have ever seen in any movie. She comes off as some super soft "just happy to be here" person and we are expected to believe she is some bad ass general/admiral. Also she had this secret plan to save everyone. Why the hell was it secret? She invited a mutiny since she was secret for no reason.

12. Rose saving Finn at the last second was so dumb, so so dumb. And she falls in love in 5 hours? Him saving the day would have saved the movie to some extent. I am still rolling my eyes from her stupid line about saving what we love or some bull**** like that. We have gone from "I Love You" - "I Know" to this crap!

13. Apparently on the casino planet you get thrown in jail if you park in the wrong place. Plus this whole sub-plot was just Twitter Social Warrior Justice bull**** being thrown in our face. I am in a dark theater to watch a movie and be entertained not preached at. Call me a sexist pig and bad person if you want to feel better about yourself but this whole part of the movie was worthless.

14. So, I am not sure that Disney realized they were making a Star Wars movie. I think they think Star Wars is a comedy franchise.

15. What was the point of the penguin things on the island other than to sell merchandise?

16. What was the point of The Force Awakens? This movie took all of the questions raised in that movie and decided they were not important at all and just threw them out the window. That was the saving grace of TFA is that it raised some questions to be answered in later movies.

17. Kilo is Emo Darth Vader.

I am not sure that Star Wars is salvageable at this point as long as Disney owns the rights. I will enjoy the original trilogy always and the prequels were not as bad as they were made out to be but I think I am done at this point. This movie was a giant middle finger to the original trilogy and people who grew up with STAR WARS.… Expand

Even though JJ Abrams was Executive Producer on The Last Jedi. His vison was easily lost from TFA (which I wasn't a huge fan of but he left a lot of interesting plot points, literally gave the next person (Hack Rian Jonshon) a lay up to make a really awesome film). So many plot holes to count. They ruined lukes character and didn't develop any of the new ones as well. Kylo basically gives a big F U to the crowd with his dialogue in Snokes throne room (Speaking through the hack Rian Johnson). Honestly I get moving on from the past Saga, sure, but we all know Disney will make a million movies. So just make these last 3 good (well 2 now, well 1 now that this one is horrible) and then they can do what the want with the franchise. They could have made their money and made a good film, but they didn't. Too much humor in serious scenes. I came in wondering a few questions. Who are Ray's parent? Who is Snoke? Who are the Knights of Ren? How did Maz get Luke's Lightsaber? Just to name a few. Zero answered. I went in with 0 answers or expectations. Got zero answers and lost all expectations. Also, to those that say we are all complaining that TFA was too close to a new hope and this one was too far from the OT. Well they stole most of everything from ESB and RTOJ in this movie. Oh, except the slow speed spaceship chase. No matter what I say you'll see it cause it Star Wars but I hope once you do you'll join the rebellion and try and get a film we deserve. As the wise Lando once said "This deal is getting worse all the time".… Expand

The Force Awakens was refreshing, magical, and mysterious. Yes there were monitor issues, but it was very entertaining and I hardly noticed them. So, after two years The Last Jedi was released and I was ready to go. Little did I know that I would be walking out of the theater in such disappointment. I couldn't believe it! This film did not deliver the same experience The Force Awakens provided. It felt like it was a tree whose core was rotten. It lacked something. A lot of something. It looked and sounded like Star Wars but it didn't feel like Star Wars. It felt poorly written with no clear direction. Many of my favorite characters had been completely mischaracterized. I could care less for any of the characters. There were so many moments where I found myself being ripped away from the movie and I realized I was sitting in a movie theater. Having to listen to a political lecture really took me out of the experience. I want to forget about life hear on earth and go on a magical journey and see people do impossible and amazing things. This movie was very disappointing and unsatisfying. There were many questions from The Force Awakens that weren't even addressed. The answers we did get were very underwhelming. I have very little hope for the next installment. We'll see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I can not believe i was suckered into seeing this.

If you love Star Wars, stay away from this film. It absolutely destroys Luke Skywalker, Underplays Chewie (And i know, noone cares about Chewie, Who is just sitting around all this movie, having lost Han and having not a care in the entire world)

There is one shot of R2D2. There is two shots of C-3P0. So if you're a fan of the old series, don't watch this. It's going to hurt- and hurt alot. The film refuses to acknowledge basic space laws of physics- from bombs falling in gravity in space- to decompression only existing when it's convenient- to shields being on or off depending on convenience- to ships needing "fuel" to stay ahead even though vacuum provides almost no resistance and they would maintain their top speed without fuel. It also ignores the previous film completely. Every plot point they made is ignored. Every chance to make a good scene thrown away. There are 8 or 9 plot twists in this piece of garbage, and none of them were surprising. There is 20 or 30 jokes in this festering dung heap, and none of them are funny.

Rian Johnson wanted to be "New" and "Unpredictable". He wanted it so badly, he sacrificed the soul of the series, basic storytelling, and Luke Skywalker. His attempt at "Plot twists" will only surprise those insipidly unimaginative enough to not see them coming.

This film dazzles with pretty lights and colors, imaginative flight sequences, and strings them along on a plot so thin you'd have to fold it 10 times to wipe with it, which is surely all it's good for.

Wanted to see something different, a smart and competent rey who doesn't abandon her training? You won't see it.

Wanted to see a daring change, where Rey turns to the dark side? You won't see it.

Wanted to see any plot where Rey develops as a character? You won't see it.

Wanted to see Luke Skywalker go from a paradigm of hope and bravery to a scared, grumpy old man who tries to kill his own nephew in his sleep? You'll see it. People are throwing roses at this, calling it "Brilliant" and "Unexpected".

It's the purest garbage i've ever laid eyes on. New fans are despising it. Old fans are despising it. It's score is sinking on every platform. Rian Johnson not only fails to capitalize on any mystery laid out in the much more admirable "The Force Awakens", but fails to even continue the basic plot. Luke goes from a man who went in search of a Jedi Temple for answers, leaving a map to be found- to a man who never wanted to be found and throws his own father's lightsaber off a cliff for a cheap laugh.

JJ abrams meant that scene to be a passing of the torch, both from Rey to Luke, and JJ to Rian Johnson. Johnson literally enacted that scene, throwing the plot and mystery off a cliff. If i had to describe this movie, i would describe it thusly:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is a freakish abomination of purposeful hatred bent on the destruction of all that came before it. Stumbling into life from the untalented and obviously egocentric mind of a director who views Star Wars as something subpar to be improved upon, instead of a massive universe of endless possibilities, it insults, belittles, and minimizes the efforts of many great storytellers, replacing their grand visions with it's own stunted and malicious message of "Just accepting the new" without thought. The film echoes this on every level, presenting somehow sluggishly a series of battles and intense situations interspersed with repeated jabs at the "Uselessness of the past" and to just "Let it go, even if you have to kill it". It does an admirable job of this- sinking it's inept and decaying claws into every facet of Star Wars, tearing away at universe and characters until nothing is left but the bare bones of a once great franchise.

Campy humor with no balance, non-sensical and thin character development, gaping plot holes that appear constantly throughout the film, sub-plots that are totally irrelevant to the story, a central plot that is mind-numbingly stupid (they're running out of gas in space), and a lot of excruciatingly bad dialogue make for an overall terrible 2 1/2 hour movie going experience.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If there has ever been a time I have been fundamentally disgusted with the Star Wars Franchise it's now. Corny love stories, poor lines and poor acting as in Episode 2 and 3 are forgivable, cringeworthy, but forgivable. A Terrible character like Jar-Jar Binks in Episode 1, while horrible in his own respect, at least had development, a back story and a compelling quirk (oddly lucky clumsiness which led people to speculate about what it means to be force sensitive). But this movie... This movie wasn't what I would call "bad" more so than a slap in the face for any new and old Star Wars fan.

No this isn't a gripe about the awkward diversity of characters (the stuttering Codebreaker was actually refreshing.). What irritates me is that there is no compelling character development. There is literally none. Rey doesn't learn any real lesson from Luke and decides to act rashly and impulsively. Her punishment? Ren kills Snoke. Ok? I know this is meant to be a big turn for Ren, but this isn't foreshadowed, it isn't built up. Snoke was never developed into a compelling or threatening character so his death just feels flat...

Another big problem is the Codebreaker plot. Why in God's name was this allowed to be in the movie? It's so far removed from the story that it makes no sense. Not only that but the whole thing was rendered pointless. The justification behind it was that a fusion powered interstellar warship was "running out of fuel" and couldn't escape because a DREADNOUGHT was tracing its location. What really bothers me about this is that Mon Cal cruisers are slower than Imperial Dreadnoughts and Tie Fighters are around 25x faster than them as well. A bomber fleet would have taken out the crippled ship in MINUTES. Also literally dropping bombs in space? LIKE WTF ARE YOU SMOKING? Leia surviving space for over 3 minutes? WTF?

Worst of all Luke was gutted as a character. I dont mind the nod to Yoda's character by turning him into the "scholar" type, but Luke, being the "Last Jedi," is the only living conduit for the light side of the force. That and his Skywalker blood would make him a literal God. Luke should have had a renewed vigor and faced Ren in person only to be outmatched by the only conduit of the dark side. Imagine Luke deflecting walker lasers with one hand and force crushing another set with his other as Luke deflects the barage towards Ren's walker Ren stops the lasers in place one after the other as he yells in a fit of rage (a potentially visually striking scene with time for a flashback to Luke's intended murder of Ren), ignites his lightsaber and jumps out of the walker (the walker explodes while he leaps towards Luke, letting the suspended lasers continue their original path. In the aftermath, a lightsaber fight begins.

And here's another thing I dont understand why the lightsaber battles have been denigrated. Lucas used them as a plot device to create tension during dramatic character development. Sadly this movie lost ALL TENSION and FAILED TO DEVELOP ITS CHARACTERS. IT FOCUSED ON HUMOR, VISUALS AND IRRELEVANT POLITICAL JABS (ie the casino scenes). IT ALSO BUTCHERS ALREADY DEVELOPED CHARACTERS BY FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THEIR MOTIVATIONS. TL:DR the movie is poorly directed, poorly written, ignorant of even the most basic of Star Wars lore, and, above all, I'm left with a bad taste in my mouth with nothing answered and no desire to see another Star Wars movie. I've never felt like that before about Star Wars even the trash of the prequels was better! I wish this movie was never made! I take is back this IS a "bad" movie 0/10… Expand

Four days ago I went to see The Last Jedi, or so I thought... it turned out to be Fast & Furious The Political Correct Star Wars Marvel Franchise Block Buster Tropes Movie Series Entry 1.. After 10 mins I was puzzled by the setup and lack of competent opposition for our heroes. After 20 mins I was weirded out by slapstick and out of character moments. After 60 mins I was in denial... so many awful choices made for this movie. After 90 mins I was angry and wanted to walk out - a feeling I've never ever felt for SW or any other film before. After 120 mins I was insulted by so many strange plot holes and lost opportunities. After 152 mins I was confused... why would anyone do this to a beloved story? After a day I was just heartbroken :(… Expand

It's like Rian Johnson wanted to be some contrarian or disagreed with the philosophy of Star Wars and decided to (poorly) deconstruct Star Wars and turn the film into the "anti-Star Wars" Star Wars movie.

He negates all the growth, values, and experiences made in both the OT and TFA but doesn't placate anything new in place of all the things he subverts. We don't learn anything about the characters or why they do the things they do. We don't learn why Snoke is interested in fighting the Jedi or where he came from. Rey still hasn't received any training and yet, is the equivalent of Kylo Ren (all the Mary Sue accusers here gain traction to a film that could've easily negated their arguments). The characters do stupid things that serve no purpose to the story other than to say, "oh look, here's some vague and shallow demonstration of failure or growth".

The dialogue was out of place and wonky. You had awkward phrases and sayings like "Godspeed" or "chrome dome" or "laser swords" which doesn't belong in a galaxy far, far way.

The humor was awful and killed all the tension in the film. It's as if the writer thought the Marvel movie quips were suited for the SW universe and brought it in to supplement all the violence and genocide. Likewise, they wasted 30 minutes of the film dedicated to a boring casino subplot that ended up irrelevant to the plot. Totally poor direction here.

Anyway, it's just a huge disappointment. I am certain that I will NOT be watching the next two Star Wars films. Likewise, I fear they will ruin the Obi-Wan film which will come after.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie killed Star Wars for me. It was so bad, that I simply don't care about the Star Wars universe anymore. There was so much potential wasted. For example, we've been waiting 30 years to see Luke Skywalker again, to see him just be a total jedi badass like vader was at the beginning of Episode 4. But no. We get a cranky old coward who milks aliens and fishes and just runs away for half the movie. We also got the lamest, stupidest space battles that have no bearing on reality. Why do the rebel bombers rely on gravity to pull their bombs down, in space, where there is no gravity? This movie is just such a joke, and wastes the interesting mysteries provided by Episode 7 (which also was bad), which clearly shows there is no one at Disney in charge of the overall story of Star Wars. The whole thing just totally turned me off of Star Wars and left me feeling totally betrayed. Why should I invest in a IP/Franchise/Setting if at any time, the stories I grew up with are all wiped away as no longer canon, only to be replaced with garbage like this? If they did it once, they can do it again at any time. Why give them any more money when they've clearly just given their fans the finger? I'm simply done. Star Wars is dead. Well done Disney.… Expand

I just can't stop getting down about how terrible that movie was, I enjoyed TFA and was excited to see how the characters are gonna develop, they didn't, they got turned into a joke or were flat out killed off with no explanation of who Snoke was or why he looked like that, people keep screaming it'll be answered in a spin off or novel, its 2017 you don't need to do that anymore, you could of revealed he was a clone of the emperor and id of been at least interesting but no, one of the most powerful force wielders gets duped by a whiney ass joke of an antagonist. Christ I could go on and on about how Luke was turned into mess of a character (props to Hamill though for staying professional and doing a kick ass performance) how the middle of tje movie was just the most mundane piece of **** ive witnessed, ah man im so gutted.

Disney and the amateursI have watched episodes 1-7 over 100 times and know most lines by heart. Since my first Star Wars movie, which I watched 35 years ago until episode 8, these have always been the series closest to my heart. Not anymore. Disney and the amateurs responsible for that joke really did a great job alienating so many Star Wars fans. To cut the long story short:

1. I undestand now why Mark Hamill did not agree with the Director about Luke. I will pretend that the Luke story ends with Return of the Jedi. I feel betrayed and devastated after watching what he has become.
2. Cheap jokes from B rating movies. We, the Star Wars fans are more intelligent than that. Who allowed such crappy humor in the movie?
3. All questions after Episode 7 go in the garbage. Good job killing the fabula and the character stories, Disney. In short, I didn’t see any character stories in Episode 8. It all felt like a bad dream come true. What could have been done wrong with all characters was done wrong. Especially very terrible ideas about Snoke and Ray.
4. This is the first Star Wars movie that made me bored on the 30th minute after watching it and I couldn’t wait to finish. I will never watch it again.
5. Forget about all previous episodes. Disney did a great job restarting the series, unfortunately in the worst possible way.
6. Bad character dialogues and story telling. I never felt excited or curious during the whole movie, which makes me feel strange as I have always watched previous episodes with great interest.

I wish the series ended with episode 6. Damage is already done, RIP Star Wars.… Expand

Despite throwing in so many jokes, I didn't laugh even once. I thought most jokes were ill timed and detracted from the moments they were cut into. I would have preferred the entire thing dark without the weird awkward attempts at humor. The events of the film seem completely objective in achieving a blank slate to launch other products from. The ultimate climax of Disnefying the Star Wars franchise into its branding machine.

The visuals were very good, the action scenes excellent, art direction, choreography all great. Some scenes are really interesting. This would have been an excellent movie if the writing from the start was good, but it wasn't. The drama was forced and weirdly paced, had many plot holes, many parts this movie are disjunct from the preceding films (mediocre as it was) now completely reset by the events of this film. So now there is a weird love-hate thing between Rey and Kylo, Finn got paired with Rose conveniently to lose the Rey love interest setup. Seems like only yesterday Disney was wiping the Star Wars slate clean the first time, they can't even do two films without do-overs.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed JJ Abrams's The Force Awakens. JJ Abrams managed to give his storm troopers a sense of character and individuality, they actually felt like effective soldiers; Johnson turned them back to faceless idiotic canon fodders here. All those intriguing elements like Rey's heritage and Snoke's background all got thrown out of the window, with nothing interesting replacing them with... The only question after seeing the movies how are they gonna deal with Princess Leia now... They should have just reshot the movie and let her die... Bringing her back from outer space with her Force swim destroyed all the emotional weight that was created by Kylo blowing her up... When she opened the airlock after her swim, Poe and the others in the hallway should have been sucked out into outer space btw...

What is up with all these low tech World War II space battle tactics?! There is no gravity in space, why did the Rebel bombers have to be on top of the New Order Destroyer to drop the bombs? How come there is only 1 controller for the bombs to drop in the bomb bay? I would expect them to at least have a Blutooth connection in the cockpit... Kylo took out the Rebel main ships command deck with ease, he didnt have to return to the fleet, he could have easily finished the Rebel ships off by himself! Cant some of the New Order ship light warp ahead of the Rebel ships and sandwich the Rebels? The idea of chasing the Rebels until they run out of gas was un engaging as watching paint dry.

Creating the Rose character was absolutely pointless, and they could have had Poe to go on with Finn for more buddy buddy relationship development. Benicio Del Toros character was only in the movie briefly but was much better than Rose, they should have just used him to replace Roses part in the movie. the casino planet was ridiculously uninspiring... Couldnt they have made a giant casino palace with gladiatorial fights instead? The sudden introduction of child slavery and animal cruelty was very distracting. Instead of being feared, General Hux, the commander of the planet destroying elite New Order fleet and army, Johnson turned him into a joke in the first scene with him and Poe, then later he was only on screen to get either choked or thrown against wall... The commander of the Obliterator looked a lot more menacing. Terrible direction with the villains on Johnsons part.

The introduction of the idea of how you can use a single ship to wipe out a force more than 50 times your size is utterly stupid. Now I expect the Rebels to use this kamikaze strategy every time they fight a New Order fleet.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is very much a mixed bag for me. There are things that I absolutely loved about the movie, and there are things that I not only strongly disliked but kinda ruined Star Wars as a saga for me. Visually, the movie is a masterpiece. The action is awesome; however, I wish so badly that they would bring back grand and epic scale lightsaber battles like in the prequels. The movie gave some great character depth to Kylo Ren and Rey, which I enjoyed. Now, one thing I hated is that they ruined the character of Luke Skywalker. I understand he's a changed man because of the events that are explained in this movie, but his actions are not like him at all. The Leia force reveal was both cool and laughably cheesy at the same time, so I don't know how I feel about that. The death of Snoke absurdly disappointing. Rey's parental reveal was a huge slap in the face to the audience and fans. The ENTIRE Finn and Rose plot should've been removed. It did nothing to further the story in any way whatsoever. If you took it out completely, not only would the plot remain unaffected, but the movie would actually be better.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't want to say that the movie was terrible, in a technical sense. There were lots of interesting moments and it was gorgeously shot. And until the last 10 minutes of the movie I was mostly on board. But having Luke die in such an uninspiring way really killed it for me. Essentially, what we are left with is the complete negation of the original three movies. The heroes save the day in RotJ. That buys them a few years of quasi peace. Luke messes up Ben Solo's training, and as a result goes into exile for the rest of his life (note that he never gave up on Vader even though Vader was objectively worse). Then, finally, when Luke reconnects with the world, he dies due to...what? Overexertion? We have no idea. So what Rian did to possibly my favorite character ever is why this movie gets a 2 from me. The plot was honestly not great even without the Luke-centric objections, but like I said I could've gotten by with that if Luke lived or died in a blaze of glory or something coherent. Oh well.… Expand

This was awful beyond words. In the spirit of not revealing spoilers, all I'll say is this: it was a complete departure from The Force Awakens, and the overall tone and feel of Star Wars in general. It was a reboot ... one movie after we got a reboot.

You like Poe? He's wasted, and basically treated like an idiot the whole film. Like Finn? He's wasted too. Liked the budding potential romance between Finn and Rey? Nope, it's gone. Excited to find out about the First Order? Don't get your hopes up. Like Kylo Ren's cool mask? They got rid of that, too. Like Chewie? He's almost omitted from the film. It goes on and on.

This is a movie designed as a middle finger to long time Star Wars fans, and even fans of The Force Awakens. This is a tear-down. This burns the entire lore to the ground and starts fresh, and it's as baffling as it is insulting.

I fear that Marvel is next. Infinity Gauntlet will likely be the last non-political, non-social commentary Marvel film, and from here on out we're getting the absolute worst social justice garbage saturating every aspect of those films, too. 'Han Solo' will be the first Star Wars movies that I won't see in theaters. Which is something that actually breaks my heart.… Expand

I personally haven't followed any other scifi franchises for thirty years. Disney is missing the boat and losing the Star Wars magic. I explained to my nephew in a way he could understand. Think if Spiderman was infected with Venom "DarkSide" and Captain America chose to kill him in his sleep. Now think if Spiderman was his young nephew. Now think if Spiderman was Captain America's twin sister's child and the only family he has. That is what this movie chose for Star Wars. Skywalker risked everything for family. It is a well established character arc. Even his evil father renounced the Dark Side for family. Now he is willing to murder a child in his sleep that his twin sister has asked him to protect. Just for LS to think about that is too much of a stretch. This type of decision from Lucasfilm storymakers are represented throughout the film. Terrible SW Movie.… Expand

It was almost if there was distaste for anything Luke or Skywalker and now the characters of Luke, Leia, and Han are gone to make way for the new? The aforementioned characters and Skywalker legacy caried this franchise for five decades, hundreds of books, comic runs, video and rpgs, and several cartoon series. This movie seemed to want to make all of that non-important. GoT might as well flush the Targaryen's, Starks, Lannisters, and Baratheons. I can't see Kylo, Rey, Finn, and Poe carrying on such a legacy of their own both within the movieverse and without which made offing Han, now Luke, and of course Leia's next movei all the more tragic.… Expand

Terrible story decisions, it drags a lot during the middle with a subplot that does absolutely NOTHING to the story and goes on for about 40 minutes, lots of plotholes, zero character development. Revenge of the Sith is a much, much better movie. Watched twice, will NEVER watch again in my life.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I created an account for the sole purpose of making this review. The movie is OK and mediocre, visuals are stunning and some of the scenes are good. But what really killed it for me is the story and dismissing the lore star-wars already have. The bad jokes, the Mary sue Rey, Snoke, there is a lot of things wrong here but killing of these characters and not doing justice in doing so is a big dick move. I get it, there is new heroes, new age is coming to star-wars. I have no problem with that in fact I will support it for the future generation to enjoy same as I did when I was a kid. However, without proper story telling it won't work. Fans will not love Rey cause she is just strong and she is a female. Wonder Woman did it right why can't you? Too much political agenda as well. But what really hurt me is how they did Luke. I watch a lot of Hamill's disappointment and now I get why. Disney please don't do Episode 9 and return Starwars to GL. :(… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Last Jedi is a movie that tries extremely hard to be politically-correct, while at the same time promoting social ideals such as embracing inclusivity & diversity, that it forgets what it means to be a part of the Star Wars lore. For example, one of the most legendary and highly-respected protagonists in cinematic history has been reduced to an uninspiring hermit drinking milk off an alien-cow hybrid as part of his daily routine. Luke deserves better.

Supreme Leader Snoke could potentially be a much sinister villain than Darth Sidious but was unfortunately killed off hastily, Darth Maul-style. Meanwhile, forgettable and insignificant token characters such as Finn and Rose were kept alive all in the name of "multiracial-diversity" and "political-correctness". And don't get me started on the space battles: It was vomit-inducing.

Two-thirds of the movie was built on the premise that the fleeing Resistance cruiser was conveniently placed out of the potent firing range of the entire First Order armada hence the need for the lengthy pursuit. But that clearly raises more questions than answers. Firstly, the entire armada consisted of an estimated 4-5 First Order Star Destroyers including the massive Snoke's personal flagship “Supremacy”, all armed to the teeth with thousands of turbolasers, hundreds of laser batteries, tractor beams, anti-ship torpedoes, and this movie is telling me that none of these sophisticated & powerful destroyers could handle one feeble Resistance cruiser? Unbelievable. Secondly, General Hux could have just deployed his entire squadron of TIE Bombers to strategically target the cruiser's engines and shield generators, decapitating it entirely! Mission accomplished.

The gigantic First Order Dreadnought that is capable of orbital bombardment from space was shockingly vulnerable to "vertical-dropping bombs that defies space physics" from one Resistance bomber.

The "finding the codebreaker at the Casino-Monaco Planet" storyline was grossly unnecessary and a borefest. I understand the writers wanted to further develop the Finn-Rose dynamic but as a longtime fan, it would have been better to allocate the precious screentime to a more-engaging backstory about Snoke or showing more of Rey's Jedi training.

Leia flying around in space without a spacesuit. Apparently being strong in the Force negates the urgent need for oxygen, being frozen, or propelling oneself through a microgravity environment. SpaceX, anyone?

Snoke's death was unreasonably premature.

Luke's death, while expected, could be better managed by the writers.

Kylo-Rey intergalactic Force-Skype communication: The next Tinder in the making?

My Conclusion: A Disney-approved Sci-Fi comedy specially made for the general audience, with Porgs for the kids, while leaving behind the tiny bits of crumbs for the longtime fans to scrimp on.

Hey, as long as Disney makes $2billion at the box office and millions more on merchandise and other related IPs, who are we to criticise them? In the end, it's all business, profits, and nothing else.… Expand

Everything that was built-up in the first movie, is easily discarded by a highschool plot that wants to be more Michael Bay than the man himself. Apparently ending with a 45 cinematic scene is enough to appease those whom are easily entertained, so they forget all the plot holes and abrupt conclusions for significant characters. The rest of us are left wondering why this movie was necessary at all, given how little actual development occurred during the first hour and 45 minutes. Rey suddenly becomes a sword master *before* Luke begins training. The master himself, the very embodiment of forgiveness (especially for a family member) is turned into a homicidal, alien nipple sucking (for laughs apparently) imitation of what he is supposed to be.

Edit - to all those claiming any view but your own *must* be due to trolls, you should look in the mirror and see what you have become. Also, for those blaming the writers, the only writer is Rian Johnson (the director). You can add a little for JJ Abrams as the Exec. Producer as well, since he should have been paying *some* attention to what was going on.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I do enjoy a great standalone action flick from time to time in which a new foundation is established and from which new concepts are spring boarded. However, Star Wars is not a new concept, its root system or foundation is well established. To remove the foundation from something by changing many of its fundamental characteristics and load bearing walls, one will quickly find a new construction. In cases in which load bearing walls, key characteristics of the franchise such as but not limited to Luke Skywalker, are to be adjusted they must must be treated with respect as they are removed to ensure that the structure does not implode. In that same vein, they must be replaced with a load bearing wall that is equally robust if not more robust in the process if one does not intend for the structure to fail at the point of alteration. It is my fear that the load bearing walls that are being removed (Luke, Han Solo, etc.) are not being replaced with much more than sticks and drywall (shallow characters & plot) and as a result the structure, in time, will inevitably fail. I can appreciate the dynamic between Kylo and Rey. However, I feel their innate abilities, in particular Rey AKA Mary Sue, to have such command over the nature of the force despite a lack of training or(struggle) seems to gut some of the epic appeal of Star Wars. Such a counter intuitive deviation from the trajectory within the physical tapestry of the Star Wars Universe seems to rattle the foundation of what constitutes the realm known as "Star Wars." To slap the name of Star Wars onto that which is only a mere reflection of what was previously known as Star Wars supplants the series' uniqueness with ambiguity and shallow attempts at balancing character introductions without first fleshing them out. Many missed opportunities to set this adventure upon new heights followed from the method in which the movie was approached. Instead of remodeling a building and adding another story to its current foundation, the foundation was demolished, and an entirely new building was constructed in which only the outside appearance retains some semblance to the buildings previous greatness. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with trying something innovative with this series, however in doing such, it is necessary to first establish plot shifts that evolve out of a catalyst that is birthed within a plot that is consistent with and logically follows from the foundation. That is to say, plot innovation does not have to come with disregard to the past, it only need to logically follow, or be backed with a sufficient reason or cause, as to why the story line is shifting the way it is. To simply take and input characters without depth, to input force abilities without reason or explanation, and to construct every villain with the structural integrity of a scarecrow and the emotional maturity of a child so that every "good" character always wins, is just disappointing. Ultimately, without a robust reason for changes in a set system while simply interjecting them with a disregard for consistency, removes the core appeal replacing it with something that is seemingly a hollow shell claiming to be Star Wars whilst being something altogether different.… Expand

I have to say that I’m a fan of the original trilogy but except another friend in my group the other two didn’t care about Star Wars very much so they were in just to enjoy a movie together (We are all about 30 years old). I didn’t have great expectations, I’m not a fan of episode VII, I find it inconsistent and not original but overall I think it’s an ok movie, so I tried to have an open mind for this one. I did know about the mixed reviews but nothing could have prepared me for what I’ve witnessed. I’m not going to debate the lore or the direction the story is progressing in these new films, I personally don’t like it because for me Star Wars was something else and I think Disney could have told a new original story for the new generations without the need to destroy the heroes of the old movies and their accomplishments, but , I repeat, this is only my personal opinion. ‘The Last Jedi’ was very good visually but story wise it was ridiculous, rushed, full of plot holes and inconsistecies and I’m not saying that in refer to the original trilogy, but to episode VII and even with itself. The characters choices and many scenes are totally random and don’t make any sense. As if this couldn’t be enough the movie is full of cheap forced “funny” moments and evident political topics that don’t belong in a Star Wars movie at all. We had I think 6 or 7 kids sitting in the row in front of us but I never heard anyone laughing once. I’m completely puzzled about the great reviews this movie is getting.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The worst Star Wars film of them all! I do not mind that this movie was about destroying the past to make way for the future, but the way it did it was just terrible. It was just terrible terrible script writing. Furthermore, I’d be surprised if the writers knew anything about the universe because they added so much ridiculous stuff that was just idiotic. Some examples include - Leia flying through spaces (she gets back in the ship without any sort of depressurisation and everyone’s fine and dandy), Yoda using his powers (why doesn’t Yoda, alone, destroy the first order then?), gravity in space, the ATAT’s land on that planet faster than Finn can get there (where did the ATAT’s even come from if the fleet was destroyed?), only one brief lightsaber fight scene, the ships run out of space fuel for the first time in the franchise, Snoke is just randomly killed (could’ve been done so much better), Luke is a whiney bum, Luke’s death is unbelievably unsatisfying and pointless, and for some reason the secret plan was held back from Poe (and therefore the audience) for no good reason... this is by no means an exhaustive list of all the things I hated about the film either!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Over half the movie is straight up filler. Finn and rose go to a casino planet and do nothing for 30 minutes or more. Like straight up nothing.
The whole rebel alliance are mentally handicapped that pretty much kills themselves for no reason, and everything could have been solved if COMMANDER PURPLE HAIR TOLD THEM THE PLAN.
Purple hair is the sole reason why the rebel army almost got destroyed. Leya had a fake out death, everyone in the cinema got quiet and saw Leya float in death cold. It was sad. AND THEN SUDDENLY LEYA TURNED INTO SUPERMAN AND FLEW BACK TO THE SHIP.
It was so god damn stupid it hurt me on a level i did not think was possible.
Snoke died pretty anti-climatic and we have no idea what he was who he was or what he wanted.

The only good part in the movie that really saved it from a lower score was Kylo Ren, everytime he was on the screen i was hooked and i really wished that the movie had focused more on Kylo, Rey, luke and snoke. Learning why the Jedi failed and what the future needs.
Instead we got a rushed ending and suddenly Rey can use the force whenever she want. with no training. Only see this movie if you can do it for free because half the movie is just no worth the money and the other half is decent. But not good enough to carry the whole movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "The force awakens" wasn't perfect but it gave lots of good plot threads for The Last Jedi" to follow into. Rather then follow those plot points Rian Johnson jettisons most of the major plot lines from the Force Awakens, so he can weave together a plot hole filled mess of a movie. A movie about a in space chase that defies logic. The complete character assasination of Luke, who tried everything to save his father who had already fallen to the darkside even risking his life. That Luke who would do all he did for a Father already fallen as he was, would almost kill his nephew before he had even fallen? The pointless social justice plot that added an extra useless hour to the movie that amounted to nothing, from a lack of communication from the Admiral to Poe. The egregious killing of of Snoke so we can be stuck with an angsty whiny villain rather then an intimidating one.

This movie was nothing but a massive mess that dropped ok ideas for bad ones and wrecked already well established characters.… Expand

Terrible movie. Great concepts and themes, but poorly executed. Plot holes the size of death star planets, contrived situations, and complete disregard for what came before.

The comedy was bad. The characterisation was bad. The plot was bad. The dropping and disregard of story threads from TFA was bad. Overall this is a terrible movie

This movie is horrible. Entire plot lines are introduced, then discarded. Got to get this plot point, hurry! Whoops, no that isn't necessary. The characters are uninspired, from the newest to the most iconic. I didn't care what happened toThis movie is horrible. Entire plot lines are introduced, then discarded. Got to get this plot point, hurry! Whoops, no that isn't necessary. The characters are uninspired, from the newest to the most iconic. I didn't care what happened to any of them. No one is a leader, everyone is an idiot. If George Lucas were dead, he would be spinning in his grave. I have seen and love the original 6 movies for my whole life.

I never want to see episode 8 again. Star Wars is dead to me now. I will not be seeing episode 9, and considering that Star Wars is my best loved Sci-fi franchise, that is saying something. I read the books, played the games (board and computer), drew pictures of the Millennium Falcon as a child and saw all the movies on opening day, including Episode 7 (which was also a huge disappointment but at least felt like it might have been hiding something that I missed...)..

I never will see E8 again, nor will I watch E9. I could have gotten a bunch of monkeys with typewriters to write a better plot and more compelling characters. It is almost as if the writer WANTED to piss on the Star Wars lore, just to say he could.… Expand
