Fun, but doesn't quite fit in Star Wars

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2019)

Star Wars The Last Jedi isn't a bad movie, it's even visually stunning at times, but fans of the Star Wars franchise will find that it rubs them the wrong way as it just doesn't quite jive with the rest of the existing franchise. Rian Johnson seems to have been so intent on leaving his mark on the franchise he had no interest in either doing very much with the plot threads JJ Abrams left him or setting up any for the conclusion of the trilogy.
