The Last Jedi- A Walmart version of Star Wars

Rating: 3/10 (24 December 2017)

First let me start off by saying I have loved star wars since the beginning, watching it the right way with the originals first and then to the prequels. I love the complete feel of the movies mixed with the rich story line and somewhat cringe worthy but wonderful dialogue.
Here are the reasons for the three star rating:
Snoke: The new Jar Jar character. No background, no story, just an ugly toad.
Leia: Apparently can avoid death while maintaining 10/10 flying form through space? Get her a gold medal and call her Ms. Universe because she can do something no other Star Wars character can. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this. If this was legit, then the previous movies would've had lightsaber duels in space and all that jazz. Give me a break.
Fin: Just have some balls and let the character die the way he wants. I was so excited to see him about to sacrifice himself. What a guy, and a great way to go out but nope. Taser girl comes from left field and "saves the day". Nice.
Knock off version Red Guards: What more do I have to say, cool weapons...sure maybe but it is all just trying to one up the originals and grab some attention.
Luke: "Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind."...literally. This character has been the face of Star Wars for decades and thats how he goes out? That should be illegal. Any other way...the blue milk alien killing him would've been better.
Kylo: Get this man a shirt. "Holy Uncanny Photographic Mental Processes!" (Batman 1966)
Comedic Relief: It seemed to me that the movie tried too hard to be a action comedy. Some parts the jokes seemed forced, while other times the script copied itself with some of the same jokes again and again.
There were some areas of the movie that were somewhat enjoyable, like the nod to the Millennium Falcon flying through the Salt Caves (mimicking episode VI with the Death Star) and the scene with the resistance troopers preparing to fight the new generation AT-ATs, a slight nod to episode V on Hoth.

I don't want to hate on this movie. Disney tried their best. It just didn't feel like the Star Wars I have been use to. The originals have their feel, the prequels had their feel but these new generation movies play into the market of action comedies all too much. The problem lies within a very similar story line to the originals, with the new movies trying to better them which can't be done. The Rebels and The Empire were a part of the universe and time that was special. Now there is The New Order and The Resistance which is really just a knock off version of the originals. Try for a new conflict and try and come up with some original pro and antagonists. Maybe that would help and create more of a new gen feel with some originality mixed in. Not the "one up" culture.
