Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Bill L — 26 Jan 2018

Another in the cash cow that is the Star Wars franchise.

I watched all of the 6 first movies recently with my son and even though the three prequels could have been better, they were all original works which had merit.

?The Force Awakens?, while full of plot holes and a fairly blatant ripoff of the first Star Wars movie, was fun to watch. This, by contrast, was weak in every way.

I expected Skywalker?s return to have some substance or drama, but really it just felt like having him there for the sake of it.

There was no real rhyme, reason, point or even fun in this film and I can?t help but feel it was more concerned with ticking all the boxes of its politically correct checklist than bothering with a decent script.
