A sad and disappointing end to the Saga...

Rating: 3/10 (22 December 2017)

A visual feast above all else, this movie destroys so much of the beloved legacy that little else remains in its wake. Few reviews have been explicit enough to clearly articulate the final result of this film; one which is centered on a truly skewed vision, and executed through disrespectful treatment of the saga's core characters and themes. The manner in which the legacy characters are divisively portrayed in this Disney-helmed saga is so shocking that their very inclusion has been questioned by even Lucas himself (let alone a worldwide legion of fans). Whatever you enjoyed or loved about the original saga has been forever tainted by this film; the script's thin veneer does little to mask a strikingly seditious sociopolitical agenda that mocks its own legacy to the extent that it has totally alienated its core fan base. The central themes of a Star Wars movie has always been one of adventure, family-bond, and hope despite all odds - these are intrinsic to the legacy characters and the overall tale. The Last Jedi is the antithesis. It's delivery provides only disappointment, and a heartfelt sadness at how the beautiful legacy has been forever tainted.
