Extremely Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (28 December 2017)

Remember how you were initially excited to see the Hobbit and then they made this travesty of a trilogy that was a whole movie too long and traded cool CGI and effects for storytelling and pacing? That's exactly how the Last Jedi felt...it was easily an hour too long and rather than tell a story true to the franchise and it's characters they elected to try to force feed you every idiotic original trilogy reference they could, every character and scene forced in regardless of whether they fit or not...I half expected Greedo to make a cameo at some point.
And while it had plenty of action and cool effects there was absolutely no tension or emotion attached to it so you really didn't ever care what happened to the characters. Huge plot holes abound and it seemed like anytime they wrote themselves into a corner they just inserted BB-8 to save the day...so sloppy and lazy.
Finally as many have said, they ruined Luke's character, it's like they never watched that character before the way they wrote him in this episode. This movie wasn't made by Star Wars fans, this movie was made by slick corporate shills at Disney.
