Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Lydia H — 23 Dec 2017
One of the main premises in the Last Jedi is that death must occur in order for life to spring from the ashes. Consequently the director feels justified in trashing the legacy of the beloved characters that originally brought this universe to life.
The new characters are particularly stunted by poor writing that never allows them to grow through adversity or become compelling heroes apart from the shoulders they stand on. Even stranger is how the film makers build upon and yet subsequently trample feelings of nostalgia with their use of cinematic elements and script.
In the end, the audience is left with no consolation for the two and half hours they wasted watching everything they loved about Star Wars slowly and systematically decomposing.
