What Were You Expecting?

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2018)

Everyone is saying how bad The Last Jedi was. Really? People and their nostalgia. Your remember the first Star Wars. Yes, the one where the Death Star was powered by a second hand camera switcher that Lucas got from an art school. Where the trouper uniforms were made of such cheap plastic they barely made it through the shoot. Give me a break. They say that the acting was bad. Since when could Mark Hamill act? He was always terrible. Actually, this last performance was one of his best. Carrie Fisher held her own and I do miss Harrison Ford, oh well... People say there was no plot. There was a plot: The Rebel Alliance vs. The Empire or some variation thereof. You got your blasters and lightsabers and dogfights galore. What more do you want? If you are looking for meaning and purpose, then go watch a documentary. If you are looking for a couple of hours of mindless entertainment, this Star Wars does the job. Keep cranking them out Disney.
