Featured reviews
The death of a franchise.
The Last Jedi is a well-made film; it's visually stunning and well directed. The problem is that it singlehandedly ruined the sequel trilogy by closing the second chapter with a dead end. There are truly baffling character decisions, awkward humor, useless subplots - it's by far the most frustrating Star Wars movie because of the potential it had. If it were 20 minutes shorter, it could have been something special, but the last act sees our characters in the exact same spot as they began. As a standalone movie, it's watchable. As the second part of a trilogy, it's a disaster.
Remember when Star Wars was FUN?
The original Star Wars films ("4-6" as we're now supposed to call them) were FUN. It's that simple. They had action, surprise, and a bit of humor. They were a treat for viewers young and old.
"The Last Jedi" is an overwhelming smorgasbord of dramatic side stories, multiple plots and conflicts, all stuffed into one film. Could the writers not agree on a single storyline to follow?
I get it. The film is supposed to be more dramatic, more emotional. Snore... I'm not a fan of emotional dramas. More power to you if you enjoy them. But again, this franchise is supposed to be FUN. Does anyone remember what fun feels like these days?
You have the heroes, the villains, and the battle between them. It's a tried and true action-packed formula that has served countless classic films.
Take, for example, this movie's long and winding exploration of Kylo Ren's inner feelings. I don't care. I'm not interested in the moody emo villain and his complex emotions. Again, heroes and villains. Action. Fun. Let's go.
I miss the magic of the original films. Unfortunately those days are long gone in a galaxy far, far away.

I'm going to keep this short (unlike the film).
After George Lucas's execrable prequels and the mediocre The Force Awakens, I've learnt to keep my expectations low for any new Star Wars films in order to avoid total disappointment. Having just seen The Last Jedi, it appears that I haven't been keeping them low enough.
The reasons for my loathing are the same as those noted in the countless scathing reviews here on IMDb, so I won't go into drawn out detail - suffice to say that the film frequently beggars belief, is massively bloated, defies logic and is full of misplaced humour (the worst moments being the horrible 'steam iron' gag and BB-8's handy coin launcher).
3 out of 10, solely for the impressive special effects. Writer/director Rian Johnson shouldn't be allowed within 12 parsecs of another Star Wars sequel.

A completely empty movie made for profit on a generic PC hollywood formula
There is very little good to say about it. The movie is void of any significant story or dialogues, it lacks purpose and vision. Its rather an obvious and obnoxious mix of studio wishes for toy sales and trying to please as wide an audience as possible. So many things wrong dont know where to even begin.
First of all, Jar Jar, the ever annoying horrible Jar Jar from previous movies at least had a purpose as a (very poor) comic relief character. The fluffy penguins in Last Jedi on the other hand are 100% transparently there for no reason but toy sales. The action trumps everything in the movie. I have nothing against good action but come on. And the characters are so blatantly cliche and repeating themselves. Luke, a seemingly wise Jedi, perhaps fed up with everything but how does that make him a miserable, cold, heartless bast*ard. All of the characters are so black and white, its mind numbing. A good movie is a good movie, be it a simple comedic Thor Ragnarok or a thought provoking Matrix. But the Last Jedi is nothing of that, its a heartless product almost made by a (quality) hollywood generator machine working based on a formula of most prevalent cliches today and popular ideas/values. Also of course the SJW crowd had to have their say making all heroes,general,admirals whatever women and male hero black. And then throw in an asian sidekick,they mustnt be forgoten,that would be rasist. Its pathetic. The race or sex of characters shouldnt be forced,it should serve the story. It does anything but that here. It wasnt story first here. It was the marketing guy, the censor, the SJW representative and toy company. Only THEN came director,story,character. Expect no sight or smell of anything original, thought provoking, tabboo breaking or good moral quandries. Just a lot of empty happening for 2 hours.

I wish someone could explain to me.
They spend so much money for CGI and budget.
Can someone honestly answer, why they don't hire some of the best writers in hollywood? They have the cash..
Star Wars is a joke to them. RIP star wars

The Star Wars universe is ever-expanding, and so is the list of actors who were almost a part of it. Here's who missed out on wielding a lightsaber.

- TriviaMark Hamill and Rian Johnson revealed at a BAFTA screening that Hamill asked to play a CG character in addition to his role as Luke Skywalker, saying that he had done it before (he had previously done CGI work for the computer game Squadron 42 (2026) (which is the separate solo campaign of Star Citizen)). In the film he plays Dobbu Scay, the character who puts money inside BB-8 in the Casino scenes.
- GoofsWhen Poe gets permission to leave the bridge and runs towards the X-Wing bay, several pilots on the bridge follow him, including the alien C'ai Threnalli. However, immediately after C'ai runs out of frame, there is a reaction shot of Finn with C'ai still standing at a console in the background.
