RE: The Last Jedi--Movie Review--Yes, it's been out awhile. I've waited to put my thoughts down.

Nice review! Indeed, the movie is "unreviewable" but you made it :) I agree also that the Space Leia scene was bad... but for another reason... Put it simply: "Star Wars is NOT a science-fiction movie. Full stop." Yeah... If you think about it, this is the FIRST and only time you see a character in interstellar void. It's a trope of the franchise that the characters are either INSIDE a spaceship or on a planet. Can you imagine Luke Skywalker in a space suit? me neither, that would be ridiculous. All this planets/spaceships/stars props, they are there to stand for castles, horses, etc... So, that scene was totally off for me for that simple reason. But you are right. Rian Johnson should probably have left Leia floating away...
