Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Greentitmilk — 27 Dec 2017

If anything, the quality of the script gives hope to potential screenwriters that their worst ideas could be optioned by Disney due to their zero quality control process.

It is a sad realisation that the Star Wars universe is probably dead now, but alas, will all these negative feelings be forgotten when Disney brings out the next Star Wars story?

Disney does not care how you feel about it, because they know it will make money regardless. They know (as i've read in some fans negative reviews) that people will go and $ee it again "Just to be sure it was as bad as I thought the first time". They know there are enough dedicated individuals who will find substance in a film where there really is none. They know people will still go and pay to see it, even you reading this now who is baffled at how The Last Jedi could have been made with such a garbage script.

I am truly amazed how fans justify the films shortcomings. I am in awe really and find their interpretations fascinating, though I'm mostly disappointed and sad they they have to stretch their opinions to make sense of this poorly written script. I'm disappointed because it shows that people don't care much about story or logic and can easily fool themselves in to thinking things that don't make sense, do. And that is really what it is. Disney has tapped in to that inherent human flaw of hoping for the best, and giving the benefit of the doubt for beloved stories in order to make money. That, if anything, is what should be admired about this whole sloppy mess. They've adopted the Star Wars religion, and be sure they know what they've got here, and will keep on producing awful stories in this genre because people will pay money and go see it regardless.

As far as I'm concerned, my interest in the Star Wars universe is done and dead. I won't be fooled in to paying to see any more Disney Star Wars, other negative reviewers here should pledge the same. There are better things out there and we still have the original (unedited or even the adywan edit) trilogy in our home collection which they can't make any money from. May the original trilogy Force be with us. 1 star for the special effects.
