I just didn't understand it.

Rating: 1/10 (16 October 2019)

I have been a Star Wars fan for a long time, I've written fan fictions, I've even developed Star Wars video games, I've done my research and know allot about the universe. But for the life of me, I did not understand the Last Jedi, I just didn't.
The whole time watching it I'm telling myself, there's something off about this movie. It looks like a Star Wars film but appropriated by a totally different universe.
There is so much wrong with this film, I mean it goes like something, that I would have written as a kid. It is a very forced story that doesn't add up.
Space Fuel? Come on.
And those bombers. Why not Y-Wings or B-Wings?
The casino is silly because the whole thing as about helping those enslaved, but they just create havoc freeing the beasts, and the slaves will just get further beaten for it; droids are way better slaves than children by the way.
Rei is a character who struggles in no way to achieve her power, and she can do everything immediately with no training, and somehow overpowers those with significantly more training and experience.
So Leia has a forcefield now? I guess Donna Pinciotti was right then.
Who is Holdo? Why not Ackbar? He has Robot Chicken sketches.
Hyperspace as a weapon?
Salt Hoth? Really?
I could go on forever.
Fortunately there is no way to kill Star Wars because the original trilogy was so successful. Like the narrator says in my VHS copy. "For all time and for all generations." Sadly this trilogy will never make the cut.
Last Jedi is one of those movies you watch once, then again thinking, What? And never again after that. I can watch A New Hope about two or three times a year and never get tired of it. But this... No, I will likely never feel compelled to watch it again.
The spoof with Tommy Wiseau is much better.
