If the idea was to put an end to the old and usher in the new....

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2017)

...Rian Johnson and Disney succeeded.
Now that Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Pricess Leia (God rest Carrie Fisher's Soul) are all no longer a part of the story, this movie just seems drab when I watch it over again. While the cinematography was phenomenal, there was very little to get giddy over in this installment.
One Lightsaber scene barely worth watching, a confused plot line that didn't follow 'The Force Awakens' set-up much (other than finding Luke) and some really amateurish training for Rey. This chapter leave you filled with more questions than you began with and not much excitement towards the last remaing story. How Rey is completely at one with the force doesn't explain her natural ability to wield a lightsaber as if she trained for seasons with Luke AND Yoda. Even Luke had to have 1/2 a movie of extensive training just to learn to use the Force properly. Lastly, is Phasma really gone already? I saw bad-a$$ written all over her and she ended up dying a Boba Fett, unjustifiable death before She and Finn could really clash (A scene that I was hoping for some epic payoff for Finn)
While there were some parts of the The Last Jedi I did enjoy. I love the characters Finn and Rey. They are your top stars and are doing an awesome job with the scripts they have to work with. Poe and Rose are excellent as supporting cast. Luke & Leia, doesn't matter what they do, they're always awesome, but I believe their legacies were destroyed in this movie by silly, senseless scenes (The 3's SSS). Leia doesn't need oxygen and survives space due to the Force? Luke casts his body through the Force then dies? Doesn't makes a lot of bassackwards sense to many Star Wars fans, but it is what it is.
I definitely won't suggest you see this movie OTHER than in the theatre if not for cinematagraphy alone and there are a few build-up memorable moments, but as far as it's placement in history... Only Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith are worse.
