Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Harold S — 24 Jan 2018
Editing my original review, I was way too kind the first time.
This film is morally and creatively bankrupt. It's a charmless deconstruction of the Star Wars universe whose main purpose seems to be as a platform for Johnson and Kennedy's social justice and feminist virtue signalling.
The shameful, illogical, and ridiculous transformation of Luke Skywalker from iconic hero to reclusive suicidal jerk is unforgivable and demonstrates both contempt for and a lack of understanding of the timeless themes of his story in the OT. Make no mistake, this was not a 'bold creative choice', it was a malicious ideologically driven character assassination.
Kennedy and Johnson despise Luke.
What's ironic is in their rush to 'let the past die', kill off timeless themes, and lecture us to death with their SJW crap, they forgot how to create interesting characters or tell a compelling--or even coherent--story.
A complete trainwreck that's probably done lasting damage to the saga.
