Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Aloke D — 29 Jan 2018
The diverging plots felt sloppy and uncoordinated, the humor forced, and the political messaging heavy-handed. It makes up rules as it goes along without explanation, so that you more often end up asking "Wait, what?" than go "Wow, that's interesting.
" This isn't because people can't handle new revelations about how the universe works. It's because in this movie, they aren't revelations, they're just big, dramatic plot devices.
The end leaves you with no excitement for episode 9, as things seem to be unfolding at random. Overall, Last Jedi is a flashy, fast-paced mess that feels like a product, not a story.
