Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Ryan A — 14 Oct 2018

I give it one full star for the good visuals and decent sound design. It had a few good moments, but as a whole it was a narrative mess that completely s**t on the story of Star Wars. The Last Jedi doubled down on The Force Awakens's faults, ignored or corrupted some of its plot points, and generally flipped the middle finger to the legacy of the original trilogy. What they did to Luke Skywalker is pretty much unforgivable. Any hope Rey had of becoming a good character was dashed, and Finn and Poe were effectively wasted. And the new character Rose is worse than Jar Jar as far as I am concerned.

The one light of hope was a plot point connecting Kylo and Rey, but it is totally wasted and ruined by the end. But hey, at least we got to see Luke slap Rey with a grass reed...

This movie broke Star Wars.
