Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Stormshadow2K — 13 Mar 2018

If you thought The Force Awakens was bad, just hang on. This is even worse. Even the few things TFA managed to do an OK job at, this movie either skips entirely to follow up on, or just scratches the surface of.

I really, really wanted to like it. I hoped for the longest time that it would be at least as good as Rogue One, but sadly this chapter makes the prequels look great. Huge plot holes, misplaced humor, forgetfull characters.

This movie tries way too hard at way too many things simultaniously and fails at most of it. And the absolute crime that is done to the character of Luke Skywalker is atrocious. I can honestly say I wish this movie was never made, or at least that I had never seen it.

And so ends my life long relationship with SW movies. It's really strange how sad it is as well. Like the death of a life long friend or family member. I feel so sorry for Mark Hamill who had to go through this.
