Rating: 1/10 (16 December 2017)

Been to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi and it is just not good, not good at all.
If that is unpopular, so what?
Two words, pacing and evocation. This film had neither. What universe are we in?
The storytelling is a mess. The pacing so poor within the scene and in the film overall I found that no anticipation was built up within me whatsoever. Finn was good, Oscar Isaacs did his best with an overdone character. Rey and Kylo Ren failed on every level to provide the emotional core that the film was to build upon. Princess Liea was misused but not as badly as a craggy Mark Hamill, he was right to disagree with every facet of his characters arc and should have stuck to his guns.
I cannot fathom how this film made it through the creative process to end up like this. Rian Johnson doesn't 'get' it in any shape or form. What the hell is he taking the helm on another trilogy for? That decision shouldn't have been made yet.
Rogue One captured something, especially in tying together Episodes 3 & 4. Their was a moment in the build up to the release of Attack of the Clones where Alec Guinness lines from A New Hope were played over the preparations for war and it EVOKED something in nostalgia, in referring to a shared history, in bringing up moments that we care about, involving characters we loved. This film does nothing for the overall canon. It's like Disney are deliberately killing the franchise. Everything that has gone before is a pastiche here, done so badly that feelings they need to tap into are left untouched.
Finally an average of 8 on IMDB is not going to last. That is a manipulated score and the critics have again shown themselves to be completely out of touch and worse held in thrall by a paymaster.
We are being tricked. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
