Makes a Mockery of the Franchise

Rating: 1/10 (29 December 2018)

What were they thinking? This movie goes out of its way to subvert concepts cherished by earlier films. The Jedi Order and long held knowledge is no longer important, training for vulnerable
Novices irrelavent, and new powers and concepts that would have useful through eight episodes are introduced with no explanation.
The movie violates the the rule
Of Chekov's Gun. If a writer feature a gun in an early chapter the gun should play a role in aubsequent chapters or the writer is wasting his time as the description did not advance the story a d has and confused the reader needlessly.
The Last Jedi arrives with expectations of a revelation of Rey's parentage, Luke role in the conflict, and a background story on Snoke. From the opening scene the movie just throws water in our face when Luke discards the light Sabre. Can you blame fans for feeling let down? Also, as time and time again the hype that was built up on The expectation aforementioned revelations gives way to disappointment as The writers are more concerned with identity politics and other leftist issues than telling any sort of interesting story.
Maybe Disney can salvage the next episode but this one left a serious bad taste in my mouth. It is a shame because the special effects were top notch though I could barely notice I was so agitated by the story line
