The Last Jedi Expectations and Story line

Rating: 7/10 (3 April 2018)

I watched this movie twice before creating a review on it and I think that I have a good overall view as to both a fans perspective and Disney's perspective. The movie overall was a good movie. The visual effects were hands down just amazing and the best in any Star Wars film that's so far been produced. However, the flow of the movie needed a lot of improvements. Comparing The Last Jedi to The Force Awakens by JJ Abrams, Abrams had such a great flow and it made sense of what he was doing and where he was taking the series. I remember being in the theater watching The Force Awakens and the last scene was when Rey was handing the Skywalker lightsaber to Luke. Then in the Last Jedi Ryan Johnson just had Luke toss it and walk away. That was "the moment" that we all were waiting for, really! Johnson didn't have a good balance of comedy either which definitely threw me off. How, would anybody think that Luke tossing the lightsaber would be funny and approachable. Disney should definitely step up there game big time in terms of having the movie be produced in a fan's perspective story line, rather than what the director thinks the flow and story line should be. The financials also prove that because the story line was being tampered with, the profit had been severely slashed on a Worldwide bases by $735,615,409. Now 735 Million is a ton of money to loose from one movie transition, so clearly something's changed or isn't working.
