Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Chris M — 18 Jan 2018

I grew up with the original trilogy, playing with the toys and pretending to be a Jedi. When I was in my 20's I saw the prequels which were admittedly flawed, but I still watched them multiple times and enjoyed them.

The sequels have none of the optimistic, fairy tale-like magic of the original. The Last Jedi looks good, visually, but it makes little sense, has characters with little charisma and tries to be too smart and stylish at the expense of the franchise's spirit.
