Are you ready for the unexpected?

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2018)

I liked this movie! First of all because it is different, fresh, and with new ideas! For me Episode 7 was very much predictable, and more or less a remake of "A new Hope". But The Last Jedi is completely unpredictable, at no point in the movie you could foresee the next step. That´s a quality! Most people didn´t understand the developement of Luke and say he is a weak old man and unrecognizable. Besides the fact that 30 years have passed and people change over time, Luke achieved a new perspective on the subject of the Jedi. He sees the ignorance and the failure, nobody owns the force, it is everywhere, everybody can use it for the good or for the bad. And to say, if the Jedi vanish the good vanish, is indeed arrogance. He is very strong in his attitude and I liked the fact that Johnson kept it this way. Of course people would have loved to see him fly away in the Falcon with Rey and Chewie to help the Resistance. But hey, he came to die on this island, he didn´t go in exile for fun...and by the way imagine seeing Yoda the first time again after Episode 1-3 in Empire Strikes Back. People would have said the same...what did happen to him oh my god he is attacking a droid with a stick begging for food. Luke is melking a seecow...of course thats exile on an island on the edge of the galaxy, so why not? Because Leia decided to keep on fighting it doesn´t necessarily mean that Luke has to help her. They are mature enough to make decisions by their own, Luke apologizes later because a little conflict still exists and it's a nice scene, but he keeps his own words and stays on the Island. The appearence of Yoda and his words that failure is the burden of all masters was a great moment and wise words indeed. From there on Luke made peace with his failure with Kylo and finds a perfect solution for his situation with his illusory appearence. Then most fans couldn´t accept the rising strength of Rey. too fast too powerful and I partly agree here, but its a new time, Snoke said the light is becoming stronger, so is the dark. They are both rising powers to mess with each other. And remembering that, could help accept the fast rising abilities of Rey. The fact that her parents are absolutely nobodys and that it is no longer a subject is indeed brave, and I liked it. What could be more boring than to have this topic again in the center of the story. It wants to say what I mentioned earlier, the force is everywhere, everybody can use it and it doesn´t necessarily has to do anything with your bloodline. Right so! The death of Snoke: For me, perfect, absolutely unexpected and from that moment on a new situation, fresh! And I can understand why Johnson didn´t make any efforts in telling his background story, his intentions and so on. The great villain has always the same intentions, and where he came from? From the dark side, what else do you need to know, who his parents were? The fact that the story of Rose and Finn end up in a desaster was nice too. Many fans say it was an unnecessary side story, ok, but they did it, I mean they tried, to help. It didn´t work out but thats life even in a galaxy far far away.. Anyway I hope to give you another perspective on the movie. Its not bad, just different, and yes the jokes are marginal sometimes and the scene with SuperLeia would have been much better as a ghost coming back to the body. The character of Hux is very poor too. Snoke explained why he has such a moron in such a powerful position at least. Thanks for reading!
