Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Denx — 21 Feb 2018

Episodes 1-2-3 were clumsy in many ways but the story was actually interesting. Episode 7 was a lazy recitation of Ep.4 but as a movie it worked. But The Last Jedi is the episode that killed the franchise.

The movie itself is a mess, you could remove 3/4 of the scenes without changing the plot. As a second installment of a trilogy it completely throws away most of the original ideas from 7 instead of building up on them and does nothing with the remaining elements.

This feels more like a very bad fan-fiction that should never be an official sequel. Rian Johnson is just trolling everybody out of ego and shows how terrible he can be as a writer/director. Star Wars is dead for me now.
