High expectations. Big miss.

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 2018)

Was expecting a lot of major development and big twists and turns, but found none. There were a lot of missed opportunities for a much better movie. First off, Leia. Leia should have died at the beginning part of the movie. Keeping her alive for the WHOLE movie was absolutely pointless. They just gave themselves even more work to do, because of keeping her alive. They should have killed her off to give the viewers a break, because we all know that they will try to CGI Leia in the next film, or hopefully have her in an off screen death, escaping trying to show her in the next film. I also thought they missed an opportunity with Kylo Ren and Leia. They could've shown that Leia did not die at the hands of Kylo, but of the First Order. I also though that Luke was very whiny, even though he is the greatest jedi who has ever lived. I even find him to not be his character at all. Luke is supposed to be this person that sees the good in everyone, even in Darth Vader. But in The Last Jedi, it shows him igniting his lightsaber on a small Kylo, totally bypassing his original character mental process of seeing the good in everyone. I was also hoping for more character development for Snoke, but apparently killing him off seemed like the right thing to do. He is such a rich character, but no effort was made into showing who is actually is. It looks like we have to wait for the Knights of Ren for another whole year of two. It was an ok movie with some good and funny parts, but needs a lot of work. I have total confidence that JJ Abrams will fix the mistakes that The Last Jedi presented.
