Move Along, Move Along

Rating: 2/10 (29 January 2018)

Episode I filled me with dread as a Star Wars fan; The Last Jedi was worse because it ended my continuing status as a Star Wars fan with almost no hope of redemption. Episode IX would have to be an unprecedented movie miracle to repair the damage this movie has done to the Star Wars lore, universe and characters. The Last Jedi is an overly commercialized joke looking to milk the success of the franchise. It wastes or abuses the established characters in order to highlight the new, poorly developed characters. It features horrible logic flaws, ill timed humor, pointless subplots, terribly obvious and sloppy scientific flaws and characters who seem to act almost randomly at times with no consistent motivation. There was nothing about this movie which made me want to see it again and actually I would like to never see it again and erase it from my mind with a Jedi mind trick if I could. Virtually every scene was tainted by a serious flaw in character, plot or execution. If You don't care about character motivation & development, story logic & flow, science or have any need beyond seeing "science fiction" this movie may work for you; Otherwise this is not the Star Wars movie You were looking for; Move Along, Move Along..
