Hopefully the last Star Wars movie.....

Rating: 4/10 (20 February 2018)

Having seen The Last Jedi I can fully appreciate why George Lucas did not want to make any more films in the Star Wars universe.
The latest offering is yet more weak tea. A rehash of the original films with weaker lead characters. Most notably Kylo Wren who, whilst villainous, is far from intimidating, let alone threatening. Even though every attempt is made in this film to shore up his shortcomings with plot contradictions and more. In short, Wren remains a pale, wimpy, whiny imitation of Darth Vader.
Equally Rey is a less than inspiring Luke Skywalker knock off. She seems to be in a state of constant anxiety and confusion, not helped by a hermit-like Luke Skywalker. Like the rest of us, it feels like he would rather be somewhere else. Who can blame him.
All in all this film is a real dud that goes nowhere story wise. No surprise really, as this is a once wonderful franchise that's had its day and should have been left lovingly on the shelf for future generations to take down and enjoy. Instead its been rehashed endlessly with little left to offer. Four out of ten from me.
