It's the 4th of May and May the 4th be with you. But in honor of the day, here are my rants about what in my mind ruined "The Last Jedi"
Let me start off by saying that I don't expect any of the things I say to be anything you haven't heard before. However, I would really like to start some dialogue on here, especially if you think you can defend this film... because I think it is a turd and it actually made me really angry after I saw it. I'm not going to go into tremendous detail because I would prefer we could have a debate or discussion in the comments. I am also not a super Star Wars nerd... just a medium-level one, so I might spell some things wrong :P
Kylo Ren turns into a bitch boy
I really really really wanted this to work out
Kylo Ren: A pretty cool character as established in “The Force Awakens” is completely ruined in this movie. He went from being close to Darth in terms of power and respectability to being weak and immaterial in this episode. He is supposed to be the ultimate “baddie” in the franchise but now he is quite easily bypassed and defeated by Rey, who it seems he is now in love with (those shirtless scenes where he is using the force to “teamspeak” with her are just cringe.)
He also seems to be completely incapable of keeping his cool and just road rages on anything that doesn't immediately go his way. This is in stark contrast to the way he was presented at the start of “The Force Awakens” when he commands respect by his actions and dominates the opposition.
Whatever is going on with including Canto Bight in the film at all?
we didn't need this!
So there is a luxury casino planet where people bet on slave fish-frog-horse things and all weapons for both sides are bought and sold over a game of baccarat... gotcha. This entire sequence, which lasted for what felt like 73 hours is completely unnecessary. We don't need to know this. The financing of the republic and the empire is totally irrelevant to me. Plus... if this is how x-wings and tie fighters are planned / made/ produced / sold... why not just buy a bunch of what the other guy has?
Don't bring finance into this. This is Star Wars. We suspend our disbelief in order to believe in the force. We don't need to involve Leia's Bitcoin balance in the equation in order to justify the amount of cruisers in their air force.
Finn and company just happen to get locked up in the same cell as exactly the person they are looking for... and he could have broken out of that cell anytime he wanted but you know... waits for them to turn up before doing so.
That silver Stormtrooper lady from Game of Thrones was defeated entirely too easily.
I remember the first trailer for “the Force Awakens.” It was her voice that was featured in the vocal track that was the voice overlay for the entire trailer / introduction of Rey. Then she was barely in the first Disney episode and her involvement in the 2nd one sees her dispatched very quickly by Finn -and he was actually one of her underlings before he defected from the Empire.
I guess I was so disappointed that she was eliminated because I wanted to see a stormtrooper actually succeed at something (like maybe hitting something they were aiming at) for just once.
Smote: no back-story at all and now he is gone
this had so much potential
For a guy that can control your body, read your thoughts, and see what is happening anywhere in the galaxy he certainly has terrible peripheral vision.
Where is he from? How did he come to be in power and completely rebuild the empire after total decimation in “Return of the Jedi?” or in the remake of "A New Hope" which took place just before this movie for that matter? He appears as an unnecessarily huge hologram in “The Force Awakens” for 1.4 minutes and then is immediately killed off in a very unceremonious fashion. Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb
You can light-speed through another ship? Get TF outta here
aim for the nearest more important ship than yours and then use the escape pods
Keep in mind that the ability to do this makes the original trilogy completely unnecessary - or really any large-scale space battle at all. They could have simply destroyed the Death Star any time they bothered building it again by doing this over and over and over and over again. Not to mention the fact that with all the technology that apparently exists in the story, it wouldn't even need to be a ship that was occupied by anyone. Could they not strap a light-speed drive to a massive ship that is driven remotely? Urgh! it made me nearly as mad as the slow moving “bombers” that somehow need to be above something in order to drop their bombs in space where there is no gravity. I never thought I would be groaning and rolling my eyes in the theater during a Star Wars film, which is my favorite franchise ever. But I was, and so were many other people.
Leia can fly
After displaying very little in the way of force capabilities throughout her entire involvement in the story she can now fly. Great. I've been told there are websites dedicated to explaining why she was all of a sudden able to do that but I'm not going to look at them.
In many ways I think that I, and many other viewers were expecting Carrie Fisher's character to get bumped off at some point because of the fact that she is actually deceased in real life and instead, Disney killed almost everyone else.
Rey is entirely too powerful
Haven't used a lightsaber ever but are already the best at it after having little to no training? Awesome
Spar with the greatest jedi that has ever lived and immediately best him? Fantastic
Rey has very little experience flying large starships but can outmaneuver anyone in a ship she has never used before. Of course!
Luke Skywalker's legacy is ruined because: Disney
How do you take everyone's memories of a legendary character for anyone over 20 years old and completely destroy it? Put Disney in command apparently. Luke was (and it is presumed still is) the most powerful Jedi in history and yet he is all but useless in this thing. The powerful ending of the Force Awakens is immediately ruined by the start of “the Last Jedi” when Luke unceremoniously tosses his light saber over his shoulder on the cliff-side.
He then proceeds to not help very much until Yoda intervenes and sets trees on fire which is apparently something that dead Jedi's can do but have never bothered to do up until this point.
Luke then holo-sends himself to save the day on that salt planet (I'm not even going to look it up) and isn't even there but it was too draining and he dies anyway.
I wonder if Mark Hamill is happy to be done with it.... or IS HE done with it?
I mean, now that we know dead Jedis can command lightning bolts at whim maybe his story has just begun! The hologram was just the beginning. Make way for Luke Lightning-hands-ghost-person-Skywalker!
Luke said in an interview something that will ring true to those of you that think like I do. He said
it doesn't matter if it is high-quality, only matters if it makes money
I could go on and on but I think this is already too long. Sorry if it isn't well put together because I banged it out in about an hour. The beers my friend has at the bar for me aren't going to drink themselves.
If you would like to defend this P.O.S. film I welcome you to try. I will be nice to you, it is just very unlikely that I am going to agree with you.
I hope you sell a lot of these things Disney... you only had to sell out arguably the greatest saga of modern times to do so
The part of the movie your last picture shows made the whole movie worthwhile. Whatever the hell that little creature is, it was easily the best character in the film.
You made some great points about Kylo Ren sucking and Smote does have terrible peripheral vision. Your best point was this whole weaponizing the light speed abilities of a ship. Why this hadn't been done sooner is the best question since someone asked why Frodo didn't just take the giant eagle all the way to Mordor in the beginning.
Despite the good points you made, I actually liked this movie. It was a shame that Luke was such a bitch but I guess it's more about Rey. When you said Rey is too powerful, I just thought it makes you wonder who her parents really are.
I enjoyed the casino scene. You may need to watch it again as Finn and company didn't end up in the jail cell with the guy they were looking for. The master theif they were looking for was at the baccarat table but they were arrested for parking on the beach before they could talk to him. The man in jail just happened to be another master thief, who for some reason hadn't broken out of the jail cell yet despite his capabilities.
So yes this movie did have some flaws, but overall I liked it. I can say it's the best Star Wars film I ever saw in theaters, but that because this is the first Star Wars film I ever saw in theaters. I'm not a Star Wars nerd, but I did enjoy this film.
May the Fourth
i hadn't thought about the eagles in Lord of the Rings. That is a perfect example of wtf moments in film.
The creature is called Porg, i think :)
May the Force!!! OMG! I'm So flagging this Rebel scum post! May the Sith be forever in your hearts! EVERYONE knows the defeat at the battle of Yavin was an inside job! X-Wings Don't Blow Up Death Stars!!! Support your troopers.
So I was unable to see it when it first came out. I was worried that someone would spoil it for me. I'm watching Lost in Space (new Netflicks version) and my wife asks if I want to rent The Last Jedi.... we get 1/2 way in when they hatch that - retarded would be kind - plan and I say.... Can we switch back to Lost in Space? I'm so over it now. It was my life as a kid, I wait a lifetime for a cliffhanger and get left with a bad Ewok taste left in my mouth for another 20 years.
Nope. It was great. Even with the weird hiccups. May the 4th be with you, bro.
Well, Disney bought FOX. So, another franchise will probably be ruined..¡Dough!
The Last Jedi: The Force is dead in this one!
You are a man, right? because I'm about to ask you to marry me 😂😂😍
awww. met my wife on steemit. lol. I think you are far too pretty for me :P have a great day and if you actually did read the article and also hated 8, we have a good common ground.
Haha thank you very much for the compliment, but I do not think it's going so badly, lol
I see Star Wars 8 hate post, I upvote
Ahhh! I'm a fan of star wars. Yes, you attacked the movie! LOL. I liked; however, I agreed with you on some things that did not seem to me: 1. Rey had never used a light saber and seemed to be an expert. 2. When Luke threw his light saber. This last one I did not like anything and I just associated it to the comedies that Disney has been doing (or I think) something that also did in "Thor Ragnarok" at the beginning of the movie. Anyway, I still wish you: May the 4th be with you!
How can a Star Wars movie be good if Luke Skywalker himself thought it was shit!
There was a few choice in TLJ which were controversial, but all in all it was a great movie. Can't rate Rian Johnson's effort high enough!
yeah, there is a big division among the fans about whether it was good or not. It's obvious which side i am on. I am excited that JJ is coming back to direct the last one though.
It seems I am to old for that shit.
But I was already to old for Episode 1-3 to really enjoy it.
Everything seems to be a lame copy these days..
This is not nonsense. Disney can suck it! They are dead to me. DEAD!
Is that to harsh? Smile Smile.
without a doubt some of your best article, you're getting involved with the fans of star war, lol ... if I think that this saga disney, the modified a lot has changed the characters a lot, it is not the same star war of beams 15 or 20 years ago I do not remember when the first movie came out ..
if you are anime fan the same thing is happening with dragon ball have changed the whole story that I knew, I'm 35 years old but I'm a fan of this DB saga but when I started to see I was only 12 years old and at the moment I still see this saga..
have nothing to reproach about your criticism.
You have a great point here.The last Jefi has many flaws and the force awaken is more interesting
I left the movie really wishing they would have had let the past die. Let Rey join with Kylo, stop pursuit of the rebels, and end the movie with a brand new question to ask in the third one. "Now what?"
Nice movie
yes i agree, kaylo ren is amazing character as established in “The Force Awakens
Really very nice one post you gave us our gift. You have given that post on the movie today. It is really appreciated. I have seen this movie many times and this movie is very beautiful and thanks to this movie, thank you so much for sharing this post in us.

Lol, am great fun of star wars however am yet to watch the last Jedi, i have really been looking forward to this but from you description am becoming skeptical right now, hmm, would be worth my while to spend hours to watch this afterall?
Pretty good review bro I am aggree with lots of your point but Im still grateful for the new star wars movies maybe they are suck but Its way better than watching old movies for like 15th times. :)
