The Last Jedi's story -
The Resistance are running out of gas because The First Order can track them through light speed. Finn and Rose go to Canto Bight to find a code breaker. When they finally saw him, they get put in jail for a parking violation! LOL! They meet DJ who ends up betraying them.
TESB was two movies happening where Han, Leia, Chewie, and Threepio had to hide in Cloud City and Luke and Artoo went to Dagobah to meet Yoda. Rian basically put the Hoth scene at the end. It was a POINTLESS endeavor just like the Finn & Rose mission was all for naught. I simply didn't understand that whole ending sequence.
Luke Skywalker was more The Dude from The Big Lebowski than acting like the last Jedi. Like Grace Randolph was saying, I have always been more of a Batman / Han Solo fan than a Superman / Luke Skywalker fan. In this film, Mark Hamill was joking more like Mark Hamill and was acting less like Luke. I was hoping to put Luke in my Top 5 favs below Obi-Wan and Rian's writing prevented that from happening. His exit was awful.
"Jakku is nowhere."
"The Jedi must end."
"See ya around, kid."
Luke was out of character. There is no way he would think about killing Ben in his sleep. If he could see the good in Vader, how come he couldn't with Ben but Rey could? And in the big finale, he didn't have to die. The only part I like from the ending was watching Mark interact with Carrie for the final time. We get this one big showdown with Kylo and Luke where holo-Luke doesn't attack him once. But during the flashback scene, he was ready to murder him while his nephew slept?
Even brushing his shoulder which still drew a laugh from me is not something Luke would do. That's more Mark. Luke was never really funny in SW. I never laughed at anything Luke ever said. Then for the finale, he decides to become a fart in the wind. No wonder Mark didn't agree with Rian at anything with Luke's character. For over 30+ years, we waited for the legendary Jedi Master to return and do some thing awesome. We waited for nothing until his grand exit was farting his way into a Force ghost.
Kylo Ren is not some complicated character. He's a joke. All his motives are wrong. Rey never even had a father to help raise her. Her parents were junk traders that sold her off for drinking money. Yet, he kills daddy. Was going to kill mama. No prisoners he said. Wanted every gun fired at uncle. More, more, more, he said. Worse than Joffrey Baratheon. Did Joffrey have Uncle Tyrion killed off? Did he kill Robert or Cersei? You know who is a great character with many layers to him? Joffrey's real dad.. Jaime fookin' Lannister!
If compared to other franchise sequels like The Transformers, The Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Last Jedi is a good movie. Better than The Force Awakens. For a Star Wars film in the saga, not so. I think most of the people praising it grew up on the prequels or enjoyed The Force Awakens. Haven't seen it enough to see the flaws. Most of the backlash is from hardcore fans that grew up and loved the OT the most.
I don't personally hate TLJ. It kept me engaged twice now. Better than most typical blockbuster stuff. AOTC is still the worst SW film although that probably had the potential to have the best story except the execution was done so poorly. The Lost Twenty was interesting. Things that some others would say bothered them about TLJ didn't bother me at all. It's how the four main and most important characters in this film were portrayed.
Critics = casual
Fans = hardcore
Throne room scene which is the main highlight of the TLJ isn't all that the second time you watch it. It wasn't even close at being the best lightsaber battle. Those fans saying like they say Kylo Ren is a complicated character are noobs and females. Director Krennic was more interesting than Kylo Ren. Kylo was getting strangled by a guard until Rey threw a lightsaber to him. In TFA, Kylo was able to freeze a lazer shot and Rey. Why didn't he just Force freeze Rey during that scene when they went for the lightsaber? No sense.
Like I said prior, the 3 mins of Darth Vader in Rogue One surpassed any scene I saw from The Last Jedi. Vader is Vader. I understood his reasons on why he went to Dark side. I don't understand Kylo's and I will never support him whether he goes back to the light or stays evil. Terrible character. Shallow character to help sell toys to teenage boys who thinks he looks bad***.
