Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Cody P — 13 Jun 2018

I want to start this review by stating, first and foremost, that I am huge movie fan. I'm also a huge fan of Star Wars - or at least I used to be.

Unfortunately, The Last Jedi is by far the worst Star Wars movie made to date. There are many reasons for this, from lacklustre story writing, plot holes, unbelievable characters with near non-existent character arcs, to being dismissive of the former Star Wars stories and flat out disrespectful to the original characters and ideas.

The Last Jedi is a bland, forgettable, badly paced disaster and has as much imagination and creativity as the first sequel, The Force Awakens.

Star Wars fans - or even just plain old movie fans - want a clever, well thought out story with emotional highs and lows and with believable characters that we can root for.

Is that too much to ask?

And just to make it clear, my negative review of TLJ does not make me a sexist, a misogynist, a racist, anti LGBT, or any of the other pejoratives which Disney/LucasFilm have used to try and deflect the deluge of genuine criticisms that have been directed at their awful sequels by thousands upon thousands of concerned and disappointed Star Wars fans.
