Change the name to space balls and I will give it a 10.

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2017)

I am giving this movie a 2 because the visuals are interesting. If this movie had another name in front of it other than Star Wars I would have to say it was a decent but not great movie. Something like: space balls 2: the search for cash.
Or maybe:
Twilight 16: Revenge of the brooding darth emo guy.
The movie is a slap in the face to hard core fans who have read the books, played the games and have fallen in love with the universe and the lore. The writing of this movie feels like it wants to pull the characters out of the long time ago far far away and pull you right back into our overly politically correct, dumbed down humor world.
Unfortunately, The Last Jedi feels like it was written in collaboration between a kid who cannot seem to understand why grownups do not think he is funny, and someone who either has no clue about or has contempt for the the existing Star Wars universe. The writers do not develop characters and can't advance a coherent plot line. Everyone except the dead are in exactly the same situation in the end as they were in the beginning. Except for maybe the giant space llamas. Even Luke has gone from self hermit exile to self force exile.
The situational plot drivers feel like a bad sitcom scenes. The captain has to drive and go down with the ship even though we have all that cool auto pilot ai crap and robots who could have actually hit the center of the dreadnought or have instantly calculated a path to take out as many enemy ships as possible. Naaaa not dramatic enough for an underdeveloped character death right? I am still amazed they didn't have General Acbar yell, "It's a trap!" right before he flew out the window.
But then.
Why bother going into the Star Wars universe when you can just take Star Wars to Vegas. Craps tables , slot machines and all. And giant llama racing, cool cgi animal rights activism filler is much more important than spending time on actual character development. Who goes to jail for a parking ticket anyway?
Hell even the physics from other movies doesn't apply anymore. In previous movies one of the fastest ships in the Galaxy could not out run a star destroyer. But as they were whining on a star destroyer about never being able to catch the slow tugboat looking ships I was hoping dark helmet was about to run in and save the movie with ludicrous speed.

Watching the movie felt like a dumbed down Millennial rant on how old people are bitter and fundimentaly broken, teachers are useless, and kids and are good at anything they want to be and get a trophy without ever having to practice or train. And don't forget your portable safe space kids. So if you ever have to run out onto a battle field to say something to someone , everyone will stop shooting and forget they hated you.
Its funny how the most powerful Jedi ever, had to train for years to learn how to do simple things. However Rey can use the force right out of the box and do anything. She can beat down jedi with out ever having to train in the force. Its sad we did not know this years ago. It could have saved the jedi years of wasted time, or at least saved Luke from 8 months of running around flipping through a swamp with a frog on his back telling him he was not good enough. No wonder he was bitter right.
It makes sense to change the training a Jedi thing. Kids now days might not understand or believe the concept of having to train and work hard to be good at something. Yuck . Who would want to buy that toy?
