Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Mindfroth — 20 Dec 2017

The Last Jedi is hot diarrhea—anticipated with dread, but a great relief to have it over with. It feels like Star Wars through several degrees of adaptation. Not just a sequel of a sequel of a sequel, but like a live-action adaptation of a cartoon based on a line of toys based on a sequel of a sequel of a sequel.

There were some inventive moments which were all the more frustrating for their wasted potential. Plot and character motivation were as senseless as The Force Awakens, and none of the questions (or plot holes) raised in that movie were answered.
