Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Christian S — 13 Jan 2019
The movie gets the Star Wars Universe wrong. It throws the logic of it out the window. Space battles and the state of the Republic make no sense. Certain subplots are pointless, boring and annoying and disturb the movies flow. Even worse, they unncecessarily make this the longest Star Wars movie to date. But worst of all, the movie erases the nottion of who Luke Skywalker is. From not giving up on his father, who happens to be the second most evil person in the galaxy, (spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler) he now plans to murder his nephew in his sleep because he has a dark side. Wow!
The movie is a missed opportunity to make good on things teased in Episode 7. But that is not such a big wonder, considering Rian Johnson wrote the script for the movie before he knew the plot of Episode 7. That is why this movie feels ridiculously out of touch with the established universe. I am truly disappointed.
