A great Star Wars film that needs more appreciation.

Rating: 7/10 (19 December 2017)

Anyone can have their own personal opinions about the Star Wars saga, but I personally believe all of the hate from this film comes from the people who grew up watching the original films. I do personally believe that the original films are still better than The Last Jedi but this film doesn't sit far behind. I grew up in the time of the prequels and I loved them then and they play a big part in the story and even though they were hated they still tie the saga together, just like this new trilogy. People need to understand that even though Luke Skywalker was portrayed in a disappointing way which I felt as well, this film is trying to set up for the new characters such as Rey and Kylo Ren, which has easily the best fight scene I have seen in Star Wars, the way light and dark came together in the film and then were split apart from their different choices was great. Yoda clearing up the prequels was a very good addition to the film because it gave an understanding to it and a great deal of coverage. Something that people seemed to hate is Snoke and how pathetic his death is, which I thought when watching it but then later on in the film it shows that it made Kylo Ren more angry and make him seek more power which will make the ninth film extremely good. I do believe that Rey and Luke's scenes needed to be more important than Finn and Rose which had a plot which officially went no where.
But overall this film gets an 8 out of 10 because it had an amazing set up for the next film and we got to meet new characters and creatures which was amazing. The Last Jedi was incredible and needs to be more appreciated.
