Flawed on every level

Rating: 2/10 (12 September 2018)

I went in blank and came out confused.
Ive watched it again, it became worse.
Ive given it another chance, I was still confused.
On my initial viewing as soon as the infamous your momma joke appeared I knew something was going wrong. Something wasn't adding up.
Story telling is the most important part of a movie. To me the overall story arc of this trilogy wasn't clearly thought through. The Force Awakens was a great opener to what could have been an amazing trilogy. All potential coming from that movie was thrown overboard though to do something new and exciting. Yet The Last Jedi wasn't new, and it wasn't exciting.
What it did well was break all standing Star Wars foundations:
Lightspeed kamikaze to destroy a big ship? Why wasn't the Death Star destroyed the same way? How come the Millennium Falcon didn't crash into the asteroid field in Empire if light speed just means moving really really fast.
Yoda throws lightning bolts to burn down the tree? Why didn't he do that to kill the emperor?
Running out of fuel? Does an Xwing need fuel? If so is Dagobah in range to fly to in an Xwing? Shouldn't you need a big cruiser for big trips then?
Luke wants to kill his cousin cause he senses a dark side? What? Isn't Luke Mr Positive himself that tried to turn the most evil guy ever and succeeded? Why the hell would he kill his own cousin?
Luke can teleport. In the Force Awakens Leia needed him badly. Why didn't he ever assist her, while staying physically hidden?
It also had a story so amazing it didn't make any sense:
Purple haired lady doesnt want to tell Poe her plan because?
Well escape in the escape pods that the new order can't track? The new order can see your damn ship? They can see with the naked eye if you leave in an escape pod.
Luke dies because?
Fin and Rose can leave to go play slot machines without the New Order noticing?
In the Force Awakens a map to Luke had to be found cause Luke's help was needed. For what exactly? Luke was found but didn't do anything to assist Leia and the rebellion.
My review can go on for much longer if I need to point out all the flaws in this movie. But I can't tell you anything new that you can't hear in the many amazing Youtube reviews. I guess Ryan Johnson tried to do something new, and take the series in a new interesting direction but his plan failed miserably. There is potential, for example in the dynamic between Rey and Kylo. It just never delivers.
Every time I see this movie I notice something new that is breaking the Star Wars canon, badly written, or just not making any sense. Critics, or movie fanatics, that say that this movie is amazing should have their heads checked, or get off Disney's payroll. It is really that bad.
