Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Douglas T — 30 Dec 2018

Ignored foreshadowings, dropped storylines, and discontinuities in The Last Jedi:

1) Who was Lor San Tekka (Max Von Sydow's character)? Why did he have a map to Luke Skywalker?

2) What happened at Jakku? Why all the wrecked Imperial ships? Does it tie into Rey's backstory?

3) Who are Rey's parents? Junk dealers who traded her for a porn mag and a 6-pick of Schlitz?

4) What is the First Order? How did the Empire come back after Return of the Jedi?

5) Who are the Knights of Ren?

6) If Luke did not want to be found, why leave a map?

7) How did DJ (the codebreaker) know about Admiral Purple-Hair's plan? If she did not even tell the mighty Poe Dameron, why would a low-level technician (Rose) and Finn, a guy who used to work for the enemy and who has been in a coma, know about it to tell him?

8) Who is Snoke? What's his backstory? Will we ever know now?

9) Why did Luke's lightsaber call to Rey?

10) Why did C-3PO have a red arm?

11) Why was R2 shutdown and what about BB8 woke him up?

12) Why did they build up Phasma only to kill her off uncereminously?

13) When did Leia learn to fly or avoid explosive decompression? For that matter, how did she survive taking a proton torpedo to THE FACE?

14) How did the ship not decompress when they opened the door to let Leia back in?

15) Are we to believe that there was no historical, archaeological, or other value to those Jedi manuscripts Yoda torched at the end?

16) How was the First Order in such fighting form after having their homeplanet Starkiller Base destroyed?

17) What reason is there for Kylo Ren to stay evil now? The "Rebels" have been effectively wiped out. The entire "alliance" now fits in the trunk of the Millenium Falcon.
