See this movie for yourself. It's very entertaining and worth it

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2018)

BIG SPOILERS. Don't read this review if you haven't seen the movie yet and don't want to know what happens.
The Last Jedi is earning mega-bucks around the world and yet is garnering particularly vicious reviews here on imdb. Something is going on and I suspect some kind of angry troll campaign to trash the movie. I judge movies on entertainment value. Did I feel entertained when I leave the movie theater? The answer here is a resounding yes. Watch The Last Jedi and judge it on its own merits for yourself.

So what is the current situation in the Star Wars Galaxy?
The Last Jedi can be applauded for trying its best to avoid clichés. You expect some daring gamble to work out and it doesn't. The story doesn't truly end on a happy note.
The Resistance has basically sacrificed itself to slow down the First Order, but that is it. By movie's end, we know we have been set up for another big sequel. The Resistance destroyed the First Order Death Planet in the first movie back in 2015. The Resistance destroyed a First Order dreadnought battleship, assassinated Supreme Leader Snoke (indirectly), destroyed Snoke's massive flagship, large numbers of tie fighters and scores of stormtroopers. But as shown, the First Order can absorb these losses and is only delayed, if slightly. The First Order still possesses its small fleet of Star Destroyers. It presumably has reserves of stormtroopers, and Supreme Leader Snoke proved replaceable. Kylo Ren quickly assumed leadership. General Hux survived the battle and the First Order has firm, experienced leadership. The Resistance has lost all of its star ship assets, almost all its manpower and is down to a handful of people, counting General Leia and Rey, the key people, plus the obsolescent but still functional Millenium Falcon. The Resistance is down to...nothing. My guess is that the sequel will show the Outer Rim planets building and funding a new rebel Alliance. The First Order still possesses the winning hand. The New Republic is finished. Its senate, government center and main, inner planets that comprise the important leadership of the New Republic have been incinerated in the first movie. A third Republic will have to be created by the surviving New Republic planets, most located far away from the galaxy center and near or at the Outer Rim. It all makes for a good suspense sequel since basically the Resistance has been defeated and destroyed. The New Republic has been liquidated. More, the Jedi Order has finally come to an end as it used to exist, the last master, Luke Skywalker passing away and the Jedi Tree and its books, now considered irrelevant, are burned to the ground by the spirit of Yoda. The First Order, despite some significant losses and the death of its leader, is still very much alive and dangerous. The First Order is still in a position to move back into former New Republic space and restore the Empire. There's nothing to stop them. So stay tuned for the next sequel in late 2019. Everything will be completely different. If you're like me, you can't wait even though the movie has yet to be even written.
