“Free money. No work.” Howard Stern Comes Again
That movie was shit.

Super Leia flying through space like Kyle rayner.

Running from a star destroyer for a 90 minutes? It was like the OJ slow speed car chase without the drama.

Laura Dern’s character was crap.

The very end with the little orphan Annie kids playing with brooms? Wtf. That ain’t starwars.

Tauntaun racing, running from cops, saved by a code breaker on planet maguffin? Total waste of time.

That’s most of my complaint - felt like most of the movie was filler in between cool jedi stuff.

Also none of Luke’s past decisions made sense.

They’re giving this douchebag another trilogy? I hope you liked the prequels, because that’s the level Rian Johnson is on.

I really didn't understand why they did that with Leia. They had a pretty good death scene all set up and ready to go for Carrie Fisher that they could have edited and would have been a seamless fit.
Now we are probably gonna get a lot of shitty CGI Leia in the next movie where they will probably kill her for good.

I feel your pain. I would like to add a couple more issues I had.

The stupid jokes every 10 seconds. It got to the point I thought they where going to start playing rimshots after each line. This may work for Marvel movies, but I don't want it in Star Wars.

I wasn't crazy about TFA but I kind of liked Snoke and Captain Phasma. I wanted to see where there stories went. Well now I know. I don't think there is anything they can do to make me care about Darth Emo.

The Finn and Rose plot. I just don't care.

If there is a Fantastic Fourplay episode for Last Jedi I would love to be a part of it ;)
I have a lot of good and bad to say about the film.
I saw it a second time today and liked it a little more this time .
Super Leia kills me though . Worst thing in a Star Wars movie since Jar Jar Binks

I also think they screwed the pooch with the Laura Dern character. She was unnecessary and not very interesting at all.
Imagine if instead of introducing a character no one knows and really didn't care about because she came across like an asshole for most of her time onscreen that the person who had to step up in Leia's place was Admiral Akbar and instead of killing him in such a throwaway manner the guy got to go out in heroic fashion by sacrificing himself to save the rebellion? That would have been incredibly cool.

I am noticing a bizarre thing going on where people are attacking audience scores for Last Jedi because they conflict with the critics reviews.
It's kinda odd because you don't get the same reaction when audience reviews are extremely positive while critic reviews are negative.
The most recent occurrence (granted on a much smaller scale) was the critics reviews vs fans reviews for It Comes At Night. Critics loved it while audiences were meh on it and the RT scores were something like 90% positive and fans reactions were less than half of that.

I'm really starting to believe Disney is paying off critics. I just don't think there should be that much of a gap in critic and audience scores.

The same thing just happened with Justice League. I didn't think it was great, but far better then the critic scores indicate.

I went into it like I go to every movie, as it's own entity..
did it entertain me? was it a good story? was it easy to follow?

for me yes to all of the above. I'm gonna agree that it was not as good as the force awakens? I dont think so.
but it kept my attention.
I felt it was maybe a bit, uh, sappy?

I always harken back to the first Star Trek movie, do you remember how much fucking time they spent on showing us the magnificents of the Enterprise? it was like Jesus Fuck, lets move on already.
I felt like this in some of the "training, or lack therein"
I really loved the
Luke not really there, good Jedi trick

but hated
what a pussy that Solo kid really is...like an emo-darth..also, Ren's family being nobodies, do we believe this?
Click to expand...

Those were also my exact favorite and least favorite things about it. I pretty much feel the same way. Like it, but not as much as Force Awakens. Thought the movie kinda dragged in parts but got much better towards the end and some real cool shit happened.

Yeah, I was hoping Kylo grew up and got less whiney instead of more. The pussy lies and blames Rey for killing Snoke. Some powerful Jedi. I believe the thing about her parents being nobodies for two reasons. 1) Her and Kylo are very in-tune, so I would think she could tell if he is bullshitting and it wasn't so much that he was revealing this info to her, it was that she already knew it and didn't want to believe it so he was telling her he felt it too. 2) I think they did this because they want to flood us with more Star Wars movies (obviously) and how can they keep pumping out movies with such a limited supply of Jedi if the Jedi must come from a known Jedi bloodline? I believe that was behind their decision not to make her Kylo's brother. If they did that, the idea would be that being a Jedi is genetic and then they would be kinda stuck when they want to make 8 Star Wars movies a year. The other clue for me was the slave kid at the end using the force to grab the mop. This is them telling us any poor nobody could be the next Jedi and so we won't be shocked when movies start coming out with random other nobodies being a Jedi. It's always about money. I'm just in until they've run through the original cast and I'm jumping ship before the Disney mega-whoring kicks in. I didn't care for Rogue One.

I thought it was ok. Not enamored . Followed the Star Wars formula. Fight, sneak on ship, train, escape, climax fight... personally I think Star Wars is close to jumping the shark. The end with Luke was cool . I’d bang the shit out of Rey too
Also every time carrie Fisher was on screen was a minus for me . What was up with her mouth - dentures?

When I think about this movie. And the more I do I love it. There is a sense of HOPE there. In these absolutely senseless times we live in... the movie ends with a new hope. I never questioned why "all the horses ran out of the barn" when the little kid was confronted. He makes all of the alien horses run away and saves the day, not because he owns them, but he had The Force within him to make that happen. In the last two minutes, we learn that. A little kid. Looks up at the stars and sees a plane going into light years... and there is our new hope. With a Rebellion ring on his finger. So, Luke was not The Last Jedi. Rey won't be. There will never be a "Last Jedi" and I think that's what makes the movie terrific.

What makes the movie terrific is that there was “hope” and a little kid had the force that we saw for 60 seconds? Nah that did nothing for me .

ALSO during the movie , I got to thinking - “this is why I’m a Star Trek guy”. You can go anywhere and do anything with Star Trek . Not so with Star Wars especially this day and age . It’s got a strict tight story line . And any diverging from that is going to create criticisms . However, the story and plot scenarios and characters get recycled . We’re at the point where it’s inbred now.

I wonder if they now regret choosing to kill off Luke in this one instead of Leia? Now they'll both be dead in he next one. Luke will surely pop up as a Jedi ghost, but I can't imagine he'll be a main character as a ghost. They totally wasted Chewie in this one.

These movies just haven't been able to get me to care about the new characters. Finn is ok, Poe annoys me, Rose is meh, Rey is fine but I just don't really care about her story especially now that we know she isn't anybody. Kylo is a whiney bitch. Luke dying at the end bummed me way out.

Star Trek will always be better because it’s about humans not magic .

The one thing I haven't seen anyone mention is the fact that space ships in the Star Wars universe need fuel? It's 2017 and we have submarines that run on nuclear power but space ships that are capable of interstellar flight need to fuel up? What kind of massive bullshit is this? The more I think about this movie the more I feel that Disney has done fucked it up!

After seeing it twice the part that really gets my goat is the Leia in space part. There was no need of that . Even my mother said she hated that part . My father fell asleep and my mother had to wake him up. Not a big deal . He fell asleep during the train fight at the beginning of Skyfall .

I got tix for next sat . I need to hear what Yoda said . After two times I can’t catch all his broken English . You would think living 900 years he could learn proper English.
