Uh...Oh man. I don't really know where to even begin with this.
I'm not a Star Wars fan. I like the Star Wars movies but I don't really consider myself a fan. I haven't read the books, the comics, watched the cartoons, played the video games or seen the movies a bunch of times. So after seeing this, I can only imagine how a die hard Star Wars fan must feel.
To express my thoughts on this movie correctly I have to add spoilers so...SPOILER ALERT!!!
Ok. this movie is not good. It's actually really boring. Which is what I never thought I would say when talking about a Star Wars movie (unless it's Rogue One).
A few years ago "The Amazing Spider-Man" was released and I remember the tagline for that movie was "The untold story" which was set to reveal the background on Peter Parker's parents. Just by watching the first film I could tell that the writers had no ideal where they were going with that and there was no untold story. Just a bunch of bull to try to sell movie tickets to a failing franchise.
The same thing has been done here with Star Wars: The Last Jedi (though it's not a failing franchise...yet). The Force Awakens set up some interesting questions like who are Rey's parents? Why has Luke Skywalker vanished? Who is Snoke? Why is Rey so special? Well...like The Amazing Spider-Man the writers here had no ideal where they were going with any of that.
Who are Rey's parents? NOBODY IT DOESN'T MATTER! Why has Luke Skywalker vanished? HE READ KYLO REN'S DESTINY WRONG! Who is Snoke? WHO CARES! HE'LL BE DEAD BEFORE EPISODE 9! Why is Rey so special? BECAUSE SHE JUST IS! Where are these movies going? When Disney decided to start a new Star Wars trilogy they should have had an outline of all three movies and what they wanted to do with them. This movie is overly long and boring and like Rogue One it didn't even feel like I was watching a Star Wars movie with dumb moments like the casino scene.
