My review (this is the script for my YouTube review)

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2018)

First off, I'd like to say that I loved this movie. I saw it five times in theaters and each time I noticed something new. I loved that Poe called Hux, General Hugs, and that BB-8 stole the walker. This is the type of comedy that Star Wars needs. It needs to be funny, to keep the audience interested, but not too funny because then you have, well, Jar Jar Binks. This is my favorite Star Wars movie, and I agree with most of the bold choices they made. It did start to get old after four and five times but you can't only see this movie once. I think two or three is the golden amount for a Star Wars movie in theaters. A lot of people said that it didn't live up to expectations, but I had just as many expectations. At the time of this review, I have watched the official trailer (ya know, the one that starts with "when I found you") 703 times! This was an incredible movie, and it makes me excited for the future of Star Wars. I think Star Wars is in good hands and Disney will take it places.
Enough with the overview. Now I'm going to talk about what I loved and what I'd rather them change. I, like many other Star Wars fans, loved anything that happened in Snoke's Throne Room. It was unexpected and very cool. I also liked the reveal of Rey's parents. It shows that Star Wars doesn't have to revolve around the Skywalkers. It shows that almost anyone can use the force. Even though, I think Crait was underused and the chase through space was overused, what did happen on Crait was cool and true to Star Wars spirit and the chase in space added urgency to the situation that makes a Star Wars movie that much better. I think Luke dying added to the story. It showed that it is time to pass the torch and stop pestering over the original movies I, and many others, watched all those years ago. I liked how they had him die peacefully watching twin suns after sacrificing himself to help the rebels escape just like Old Ben did in the Death Star many years before. But every movie has problems, so now here are the things I didn't like about this movie. Number 1 is Leia Poppins. Even though the score in this scene is awesome, the scene isn't as good. It proves everyone's point that main characters have a protection shield. It would have been more powerful and a lot better if it showed her floating there while playing the soft Leia theme and just crossed out the part where she twitches and floats back. Number 2 is Canto Bight. I have no problem with Canto Bight, in fact, I think it's pretty cool. If you're skeptical over Canto Bight, read the Canto Bight novel by John Jackson Miller, Mira Grant, Rae Carson, and Saladin Ahmed. It's really interesting! Anyway, the reason why I didn't like Canto Bight was because it felt forced and out of place. I think they should have reserved Canto Bight for Solo: A Star Wars Story which will come out in May. I think it fits better in Solo than it does in The Last Jedi, considering Han is an avid gambler and smuggler. It would be a cool easter egg, though, if Canto Bight was where Han won the Falcon. Number 3 is Finn. I don't mean the character, I like the character, I mean his "death". I think it would be better if that whole part was cut or Finn sacrifices himself. It is a really powerful moment when he goes in for it, but Rose saving him, again, is rally dumb and feels like a main character shield. Either he sacrifices himself or doesn't even try. It feels like the story team was sitting around a table and they couldn't agree, so they compromised and that compromise is really bad. "It's not fighting what we hate, it's saving what we love." Yuck! This is Star Wars (emphasis on the Wars), what do you think this is, The Space Between Us?
Overall, though, I loved this movie and I personally cannot wait until it comes out on Blu-Ray and Digital.
That concludes my review on Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
