Fantastic! Disregard the entitled reviews of the so called "fan boys".

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

This installment is fantastic. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, having seen every single episode in the theater when they each launched, and having read numerous novels from the Star Wars canon, comic books, watched TV shows, etc... I can honestly say that I'm dismayed at how many people (because I won't call them fans any more) have given bad reviews of this movie.
After seeing it for a 2nd time in two days, I have to say that The Last Jedi tells a great story. Their is of course the amazing visuals, the music, the compelling characters, and a story line that isn't exactly what you'd expect but it is a great story none the less. I won't say anything more about the film other than it is definitely worth seeing. Go. Have fun. Enjoy it. It's worth it.
I honestly feel that most of the negativity being heaped on this episode is because of the whole marketing side of movies. The "Disney" effect if you will. I'm seeing reviews from people literally going out of their minds about how Disney has killed the franchise. It's almost comical how entitled these reviewers come off. Much of the vitriol is related to the monetization of things based on the movie. The commercial sales of stuffed animals, Lego sets, pajamas, action figures, etc... but here's a news flash for everyone who has been living under a rock. Welcome to life post-1977... When a certain movie came out (A New Hope) and turned the world of monetizing movies on it's ear. For those fan-boys who weren't around... Guess what? The same thing happened then too. Star Wars stuff was everywhere. I remember collecting Star Wars drinking glasses from Burger King. Pining for more action figures at Christmas. Envious that my neighbor had a Death Star play set. My sheets on my bed were Star Wars. My pajamas were Star Wars. I owned the soundtrack on a 2 record set. Posters in my room. My lunchbox was Star Wars. I was a stormtrooper for Halloween that year. George Lucas was brilliant and I thank him for creating this new model of business. How else would I have ever had a plastic replica of Han's blaster?
Get over yourselves and enjoy a great story told in a great way. Set in the universe that we love (or at least act like we love). You don't get to say what direction your favorite franchise goes in. It's not yours. Enjoy it. You're not married to it.
