Big Budget Fanf(l)lic

Rating: 1/10 (15 December 2017)

When we heard the news that Rian Johnson was asked to write a new trilogy the hopes for TLJ went up, sadly the contrary is true.....
The Last Jedi is a big budget fanf(l)ic and doesn't feel as a continuation of TFA which was IMO a very good movie to rekindle the franchise. This is only one of the many flaws of this movie.
But the biggest flaw however is how they handled Luke Skywalker, it was awful and completely out of character. They wanted to create a shock element in expense of one of the most iconic movie characters of all time, Luke Skywalker. The core trait of Luke was to never give up on people, because of this he could redeem his father in the Original Trilogy. They just ripped this trait out of the character so they could create a shock element. Why? Couldn't they come up with a more creative idea? There are a lot of fan theories created after TFA that make so much more sense and are much more coherent then what they did in TLJ.
Shame on the people who concocted this.
Hats off to Mark Hamill, who was still able to give a believable performance even though he couldn't find himself in the direction they choose for his character.
R.I.P. Luke and thank you Mark Hamill for breathing life into (for me) the most icon character ever to grace the movie screen.
