Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Betamax77 — 25 Dec 2017

DON'T PAY TO SEE THIS! Lucasfilm's dark empress Kathleen Kennedy needs to get a message that she should give keys of SW to someone who truly loves it. Disney isn't wholly to blame because they let the Marvel movies and Pixar work independently under them with great results. But if anything they should have intervened with this garbage production. It could be called Star Wars: The Anticlimax. Every (action)scene is a disappointment, except maybe one throne room scene. I saw this with a free ticket and came here to warn people. Many have fortunately already said many things wrong with The Last Jedi. This movie continues Force Awakens's nullification of our classic heroes' character arcs, force feeding us one dimensional new ones (but they are so diverse!) and giving recycled story beats, only this time with really stupid twists. There is a way to handing the torch to new heroes while respecting old ones but this sequel trilogy has done about the worst possible job at it. Biggest disrespect is for Luke Skywalker. He should have been grown to be very powerful and the script should have risen to the challenge to give him worthy obstacles. They have all the scripting power of Hollywood to their disposal. But no, Rian and story group cop out the worst way. Oh and the galaxy feels empty in this, there's only Resistance with their deserted planets and the First Order, the rest of the galaxy is all on Canto Bight apparently.

It's easy to guess why Darth Kathleen Kennedy handed keys of the whole new trilogy to Rian Johnson: He's one of the two directors who is willing to work for her without objections about direction of these movies and he agreed to cover this movie with heavy handed childish SJW/feminazi- propaganda. In the movie all white men are bad or just suck and all the women are great in every way. I bet that galactic **** is cackling all the way through when watching this propaganda piece. One point for Hamill's great acting. Not seeing Ep. 9. I have no intrest anymore.
