Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Greg C — 11 Jan 2018

A good example of "How to make a bad movie".

So many wasted opportunites, so disappointing. At times it felt just like a parody with all the "not so good" jokes.

It was so eyebrow raising from the beginning with again no explanation, why the First Order is so powerfull. This mess has got a "Your Momma"Joke, an out-of-place "Flat Iron" Scene, a totally unimportant subplot, where people actually get in jail for parking the car in the wrong spot(!), a completely change in the character of Luke Skywalker, he´s now a whiny old man that milks seacows and disrespects the Lightsaber of his father by tossing it away emotionless.

They forced in some cute birds just to make you buy the stuffed animal version of it. These so called Porgs don´t serve a purpose in the movie at all! They´re just there. Back in the day the Ewoks were cute too, but they at least HAD a relevance for the plot, even saved/helped our heroes. Guess giving potential merchendise a reason to be in the movie in the first place is no longer needed these days.

The ridiculous mirror scene to reveal Reys parents was straight from Harry Potter just like the fleeing on the back of some giant cat/camel-horse animals, the guys had to free from their cages they were kept in for bad bad entertainment of animal racing. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH STAR WARS!

To round things up, Leia flies like Superman in Space, an underwhelming reveal of Reys parents, Kylo takes his shirt off , Chewie goes vegan and Snoke dies like he was an unimportant extra.

They introduced new force powers out of the blue like force skype and astro projection.

They treated the main protagonist of the whole franchise Luke Skywalker like a nobody, like rubbish you have to get rid of quickly. They did´t even give him a last challenge to take on or a last decent fight with a lightsaber. He only force projects an image of himself in front of Kylo as a decoy. That´s all! Unbelieveable! He then dies cause he is too exhausted!

And as icing on the cake, the movie ends with a scene that just could have been a toys r us commercial.

TFA was a bad rehash of Episode 4. But The last Jedi is way beyond bad, it´s a weak movie with a ridiculous plot. And it´s the worst Star Wars Movie of all.
