The second best Star Wars film, easily!

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2019)

I teach film production and screen writing, i have an honours degree in both subjects and have done the job for a decade. In my dispassionate and professional point of view "The Last Jedi" is the second best Star Wars movie. It's well shot and aside from the Finn fools errand section it's very well written.
There have been a lot of very vocal "fans" that have slated this film which is their perogative I guess but each point they have (Finn and The Casino aside) that they raise is easily rebuffed and usually contradicted by similar events that have already happened in the Star Wars films. Once those points have been disapproved most of these so called "fans" still maintain their hatred for this film which means it ultimately boils down to personal dissatisfaction at not being given the exact movie they wanted and not getting answers to questions they either demanded or expected. This film has laid bare the awful entitled attitudes that a lot of so called fans have toward Star Wars and it's made the universe that I've loved since I was a child a little more toxic and made the fandom look like a collective of petulant children crying that dinner wasn't cooked the way they liked.
It's a good film that changed things that NEEDED changing to stay fresh.
