The Last Jedi = The First Terrible Star Wars Film

Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

Abrams serves Johnson lobster tail on a silver platter, and Johnson chucks it out for the spam in the pantry. Rian Johnson managed to derail the second installment of this trilogy and run it to the ground, forcing Star Wars fans to identify which movies they are "truly" a fan of. Here are a few points:
1. Luke Skywalker is understandably 30 years older in the Last Jedi from the Return of the Jedi which permits character development. However, the character exhibited through older Luke lacks any traits to those in the original trilogy.
2. The simple chucking of Luke's Lightsaber completely squanders the momentous build-up attributable to Abram's The Force Awakens. This disappointing scene occurs for the sake of a couple chuckles from the audience. Luke's reaction to the lightsaber was foreshadowing the star war's fan's reaction to the film.
3. There was no galactic exploration characteristic of ALL OTHER Star Wars films. Sure, Canto Bight and Crait got a few minutes of screen time - and Crait was admittedly awesome, while Canto Bight remains a poor presentation of a potentially incredible part of the galaxy. Canto Bight appeared too earth-like (aside from the melting pot of aliens). Tuxedos in a galaxy far, far away? Cops with dumb helmets and capes?
4. The terribly constructed plot consisted of the Resistance running out of gas and being pursued at a glacial speed by the First Order.
5. Snoke's death was agonizingly anticlimactic. Add Phasma to that list as well.
Disney seems to be awfully good at making money, and progressively worse at making movies.
