Very much a Star Wars movie in the tradition of the original

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2017)

Non spoilery party:
The Last Jedi is a lot like the original trilogy. It's got lots of action, but it isn't just all action with no plot suspense like the prequels, where we all knew what was going to happen from the start. The Force and Jedi stuff is right on and very SW-y, and could have been original fanfic (and I mean that in a good way, nobody loves the canon like trufen.) Yes, it has its flaws, but so did all the other movies.
And what fan could resist seeing Carrie Fisher's last performance? Which was great, btw. I loved that Leia still looks kinda like me even though I've got gray hair now.
Slightly spoilery part:
So Luke basically turns into Obi-Wan. I guess that must be what the actor didn't like. He wanted his guy to stay the pure good hero. No character our age is ever going to be the hero. We are the teacher now. Despite not liking the direction his character went in, Hamill knocked it out of the park with his performance.
