Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by David T — 24 Dec 2018

I thought this was an excellent movie. It was very creative and full of surprises. The Star Wars universe was rendered much less Black and White/Good and Evil, which created space for far more nuanced characters and motivations which is more interesting. I had been curious about Snoke's backstory and just what WAS he, so his abrupt delish was a touch annoying to me. Other than that, the film delighted me.

The little cute bird creatures were unnecessary but if you must have something with little kid appeal, it beats having Ewoks using sticks to take down storm troopers.

5 stars.
