Being fresh cannot mean to ignore sense

Rating: 1/10 (30 December 2017)

Spoilers !
The big mistake of the Last Jedi is that for the sake of being new and fresh the movie ignores all the well established Star Wars rules, system and history (added to that there are some major plot holes).
I think that fresh ideas and perspective are always welcome in a movie, but

Luke Skywalker who was an openminded, brave spirited, young lad, how can he turn to be a sad, bitter old man living alone. His father was one of the greatest dark force user in the galaxy, a mass murderer, etc. and he stayed positive and now he cannot process that one of his students may turn to the dark side? And when some character is built up over the last 4 movies as Luke has been, how can he die of exhaustion? That is the dumbest death scene ever for a HERO!

The strong force users sense each others' power even from a great distance. Who is Snoke and how could he stayed hidden throughout all these years without being detected? Considering his great power with the force, it seems unlikely that the Emperor or the Jedi had sensed nothing over the years. This feels like that a major villain was needed and the writer just created one without thinking. I think it is bad script to pull the main and most powerful evil character out of a hat and then kill him without sharing anything about him or his background.

And where is the epic fight scene from the movie. Or the fight between the 2 force users and the not force sensitive bodyguards was that? Hmmm.... How can they miss the opportunity to use an experienced Luke against anyone to fight??? I remember when Vader appeared in Rogue One, at the end, the whole cinema went nuts. Not to mention the epic sword fights before. We had none of these in the last 2 movies. The ones we had now had no weight at all.

In previous Star Wars movies it was very well established and understood, that the force users evolved in the power of the force by practicing hard throughout several years. This way a villain could best a jedi, if he had more practice under his belt. It was some kind of ranking, which made sense and was also interesting. For example there was no way Obi Van could have beaten the Emperor. In the FA Ray, who is totally untrained in the force, bests Kylo Ren who had years of training. This takes away the weight of sword fighting and the logic from the previously set up and well functioning system.

And now why could not Rey and Kylo with their jedi power easily kill the bodyguards? Perhaps a couple of force pushes against the untrained bodyguards? Surely Vader would have killed them even without making a move (as he did with others) not even mentioning the Emperor or Yoda or almost any jedi.

For me Ray's character is pretty badly written. She can fix anything, she is an all knowing technician, she is better sword fighter than the trained Kylo Ren, she can handle the dark side and not fall, can match Kylo Ren with force pull and best him in mind reading, turn Luke back to be interested in the fate of the universe and on the top of that she is a pretty girl. What cannot she do? She is the best in everything and with that she is booooring. Her character feels to be written by a 10 years old who has a crash on an all knowing Wonder Woman.

Most of the characters do not have personalities. While Han Solo was a cool pirate, Lando Clarissian was the big gambler turned business man, Tarkin was the EXPERIENCED and cold calculating baddie, the new characters do not have weight and personality.

Now, all the baddies are neurotic idiots, who there is no way could have set up a well functioning war machine, like the previous ones Tarkin and the others did.

If you can destroy a whole fleet of star destroyers and a 20 miles wide flagship simply driving one rebel cruiser into it with light speed, than why did all the fight happen before? Just build vessels with extra weight and drive them into the enemy. Or noone thought of it before?

And by the way, bombarding in space???

And what do these guys want at all. Previously all the agendas of the major players were clear, now besides that the bad wants to destroy the good there is no other motivation. Lando had his buisness to run, Han Solo wanted money, to repay Jabba, and to help the alliance. The emperor wanted power, Vader was driven by his anger and lust for revenge, Yoda was the wise, Ben the brave, Luke the young prodigy who wanted justice and adventure.

And now we have a depressed Luke, a Supergirl, and 2 neurotic baddies and a major villain about who we do not know anything, even after 2 major movies. They want to kill each other and that is it.
For the above reasons TLJ feels for me as a bad parody, rather than a proper Star Wars movie. It destroys everything and gives us a lame script in return.
To be honest I really doubt that they can bring the story back from here in IX, but I do hope for it!
