Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Dcmovie — 22 Jan 2018

If you're a fan of the originals, you'll probably be disappointed. Horrible dialogue, no real plot line, still no background to the characters (unless you believe Kylo Ren, in which case it's a waste of a storyline), pointless filler, pointless action (crashing a ship into another to save Finn who miraculously has not a scratch on him), Leia is now Superman? I personally will not be seeing the third installment. This is clearly a case of getting you hooked in the first one, but not revealing much in the second so now you have to see the third one for closure. Only I bet there won't be any closure except in the 100's of offshoots they make as they milk the franchise for all its worth. I've only ever liked one thing that JJ Abrams has ever touched, and director Rian Johnson has shown himself to be a real jerk when interacting with fans via twitter.

To those who say that the originals were just as goofy, etc., yes I agree. However, kids who watched the originals back in the day are adults now, and if they wanted to do something different, they could have gone down a path to make it more "adult". An example would be Christopher Nolan's Batman vs the garbage from the late-80s & 90s. I understand Disney bought the franchise, Disney makes kids movies, yada yada, but they could have expanded their business model and broadened their portfolio.
