Failure

Rating: 1/10 (17 December 2017)

Luke is a failure. He failed his sister, Han, his nephew, the republic, the galaxy and all of his fans who loved him. He turned into a alien milk drinking bitter old man who couldn't face his failure, and dies after keeping Kylo Ren busy so those that he failed could escape to fight another day.
Really? You've got to be kidding me.
Hey kids, Disney says parents aren't important. The boy who had a mother, father, uncle and family that loved him becomes the most evil soul in the galaxy who isn't even worth trying to save. While the girl who's parents sold her for drinking money becomes their savior.
Really? You've got to be kidding me.
Snoke? Insignificant character.
Phasma? Insignificant character. Did you read her book? It was a lie. She wasn't all that. She's killed by a janitor, who also, it just so happens, didn't have parents.
The Unknown Regions, and that incredibly dark presence? Insignificant.
This movie spits in the face of Star Wars fans. It throws it all away, just like Luke throws away Anakin's lightsaber.
The point of the movie is found in the line "Let the past die. Kill it if you have to." Because that is what Disney just did to Star Wars. They killed it. So, you have to let it die.
I have to believe this is Rian Johnson's fault. I can't believe that when Lawrence Kasdan asked JJ Abrams who Luke Skywalker was, that JJ Abrams responded "he's a failure." The Last Jedi was set up to be brilliant. Rey could have been a Skywalker, a Kenobi, a Solo... Phasma was a cold blooded killer.... Kylo was worth fighting for... Snoke was the most evil thing in all of the galaxy, and Luke was going to train Rey with his fathers lightsaber to be one of the strongest Jedi's ever... but no... It's all gone.
