I saw it last night. While I do not regret going to see it at the theater, because that is an event on its own, I walked away with conflicting feelings. I thought they tried to make it a little "too funny." I get there were jokes in the originals, and that was great, but this one seemed to "try" to be too funny if that makes sense. I also felt they tried to have too many separate storylines. The movie is not short, clocking in at over 2 hours. But, I thought they decided to put too many things in it and didn't wrap up enough. If they would have focused more on a couple of storey lines and saw them through I would have been happier. It was a great night though, we all wore our Star Wars shirts, and the little one stayed up way past bedtime. She loved it by the way.

I'm nervous about seeing "The Last Jedi." I hated "The Force Awakens" and fear that "The Last Jedi" will be more of the same. For the record, I am a huge "Star Wars" fan. I remember standing in long lines to see the original trilogy, and the anticipation (and disappointment) I felt about the prequels. Still I think the prequels were all less a disappointment than "The Force Awakens." "A man talking sense to himself is no madder than a man talking nonsense not to himself." | |

I agree with you Advent. I share the same sentiments. I felt the movie was very immature and by that I mean it felt addressed to families, which explains sloppy plot holes and poor character development. The humor was ridiculous and the tone was very politically correct and in your face about it. The writing was terrible, since when do they mention "god" in Star Wars? I am referring to Laura Dern's painful acting and the line "god speed rebels"  I was very disappointed and this is coming from someone who LOVED the prequel movies when others hated it. | |

FOR THE RECORD: I SAW THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. I STOOD IN LONG LINES TO SEE IT. AFTER SEEING IT, I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THE FUSS WAS ABOUT. 2001, WHICH I SAW AROUND THE SAME TIME, IN A THEATER, WAS FAR SUPERIOR, IN MY VIEW. I LOVED THE VISUALS IN 2001. THE STORY WAS MUCH MORE COHESIVE AND GRAND THAN WHAT STAR WARS PORTRAYED. JUST MY OPINION, OF COURSE. I SAW THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS, BUT DIDN'T BOTHER TO SEE ANY OF THE SEQUELS. I HAD READ THE ORIGINAL NOVEL, STAR WARS, THAT THE MOVIE WAS BASED ON, BEFORE THE MOVIE CAME OUT. THOUGHT THE NOVEL WAS OK, BUT NOTHING SPECIAL. MANY OTHER SF NOVELS WERE MUCH BETTER. DUNE, FOR EXAMPLE, ONE OF THE FINEST SF NOVELS EVER WRITTEN. BUT THE DUNE MOVIE BOMBED. I LIKED DUNE(THE MOVIE). ENJOYED IT MORE THAN STAR WARS. BUT MY TASTES ARE NO INDICATION OF WHAT A MOVIE WILL DO COMMERCIALLY. AND MY TASTES CAN BE FAR DIFFERENT FROM THE CRITICAL RESPONSE TO A MOVIE. WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW, THAT DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TASTES. DUH. | |

Saw "The Last Jedi" today. I went in with an open mind and a lot of hope that "Last Jedi" would deliver. It failed. It was overlong, too funny for a Star Wars film (like a parody of a Star Wars movie, not a film in the franchise), and had too many story lines. It ranks as the only time I've ever seen people check the time during a "Star Wars" film. A lot of people. I narrowly disliked this movie, but others might like it. @luthien "God speed rebels" probably sounded better in the script than "Force speed rebels," which sounds even worse. Han mentions seeing the Rebels in hell when he rides out his tauntaun to find Luke on Hoth in "Empire Strikes Back." That felt weird then, and the "God speeed rebels" sounded weird now.

So, being single again, led me to going on a date, a first date no less, to see this movie. I didn't like it. I can't keep up with the new characters. Maybe they could have used more memorable names or something? I get Ren and Rey confused or at least get their backstory confused. And I think there's less memorable characters in these new ones. Just think of all the cult-type characters in the old ones, Greedo, Boba Fett, the Jawa, it's too human, that's what it is. The date was too human too  My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk | |

Let's do this like a porn site review: The Pros: +A Great cast of characters. +Some excellent acting from the main players. +Some amazing effects. +The use of real sets and locations instead of F..g green screen that Lucas was too lazy to go without. +Some touching and funny moments. The Cons: -At least half an hour too long. -Way too many jokes and most of them completely out of place making for weird tonal moments in key moments. -Plot holes so big that you could fly a Star Destroyer through. -Too many new characters and most don't go anywhere. -Copying too many of the past Star wars movie to tell their story when they should be trying to movie it in a different direction. The Bottom Line: I didn't dislike the Last Jedi(TLJ) but that doesn't mean that I was thrilled with it. We at least knew that that the Force Awakens(FA) was basically a retelling of Star Wars and that was okay because we all needed something fun after those horrible Lucas prequels but the person who was going to make the follow up to FA had to move beyond copying past SW movies. How about a movie that explains to the audience how the rebels who managed to defeat the Empire in Return of the Jedi and I assume became the New Republic are again the rebels? Fuck me but is it too much to hope that we would not get dropped into the middle of a story like we were in Star Wars. That movie was 40 years ago now. Now the New Republic has only one base left and a few hundred soldiers and pilots??? Where does the empire build all their super ships? Why does the empire have technology that appears to be superior to the Rebels. No what we get instead is a very long movie with humour that is so juvenile that you wonder if the filmmaker was screwing with us. Most of the jokes felt like a big fuck you to the audience. There were many jokes in FA but they were there to lighten the mood but not here. A F..G Prank call to the highest ranking officer just before the rebels mount a deadly attack on a super Star Destroyer. If that wasn't bad enough. Basically that entire sequence with the bombers and the SD exist solely so that we can introduce the character of Rose and what her place is in the overall story. Don't get me started on the physics of trying to drop bombs in weightless outer space and don't none of you tell me that these are magnetic bombs attracted to the bigger ship. They wouldn't have dropped that way and the Rebels have had proton torpedoes for over 25 years. Those tiny little balls of explosives would not have had the effect the filmmaker wanted us to believe. Long live the Brown Coats. Edited on Dec 24, 2017, 08:07pm | |

The one pro about this movie is that it ends and you can go home to watch literally any other "Star Wars" film and feel better. (In talking with my fellow "Star Wars" geek friends, only one has a positive view of "The Last Jedi." It's the most polarizing film in the "Star Wars" saga. You either liked it or hated it.)

Man, I had a totally different view of this movie. There were a few funny bits - mainly with those penguin-looking things, but the humor was confined to appropriate characters - unlike, say, the newest Thor movie. But I thought they did a good job of using the whole mythology of the Star Wars universe, wrapping thing up with the oldest characters - just in time in the case of Carrie Fisher - and setting the stage for the newer characters to carry things forward. I like a number of the newer characters, especially Ray - or Rey - or whatever her name is. I rank it up there with Empire Strikes Back. My least favorite movies in the series - for comparison - were the 3rd trilogy, especially the one with Jar Jar Blinks, which was just hideous garbage. | |

^There has always been a certain amount of humour in Star Wars movies but it wasn't until Lucas started filming the prequels that the humour became juvenile. I mean think about this for a moment. There is an actual scene in The Phantom Menace where a main CGI character steps in shit. I mean we all know that fecal matter jokes are hilarious and appropriate for space opera movies. I mean we all remember that scene in Empire where Han had to take a dump before being tortured by Vader...NOT. I had high hope after seeing The Force Awaken that the fuck ups we had in the prequels were over and we could finally enjoy a new Star Wars movie without improper tonal changes. Poe cracking jokes in FA was one thing but he actually punked a main character and told a Mother Joke two minutes before 2/3 of the Rebel fighters and bombers are destroyed in what should have been a dramatic moment. In many ways Empire Strikes Back is my favorite of the SW movies because it manages to expand on the mythology of the first movie, it adds more suspense, more action, it fleshes out the characters, it manages to surprise the audience twice by first introducing us to Yoda. I don't know if you remember but at no point do we realise that one of the greatest Jedi Knight of all time is in fact an 800 years old tiny green man who needs a cane to walk but can control the force like no one else. The other surprise is that Vader is in fact Luke's father. Empire was 38 years ago and I suspect that a large portion of the population would know what the phrase: Luke I'm your Father" means. In contrast I dare anyone to tell me any memorable phrases from any of the prequels and these aren't even 20 years old. The last Jedi may be an okay movie but other than killing off Luke, The Supreme Commander, possibly Captain Phasma and a slew of unknown characters. Has it significantly moved the story along to the point where we know where it's going, where it will wind up and what comes next? I say no. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

I thought Lucas showed pretty definitively with Return of the Jedi that he was more interested in cashing in on merch for children than he was in telling a compelling story. And that's the legacy that the new film-makers have been saddled with, along with a mythology that has been developed over decades. To expect them to come up with stuff that's as striking as Vader's revelation is probably raising the bar a bit too high. They showed their bravery by having Han's son be a complete sociopathic murderer. And they've created a group of young characters a hell of a lot more compelling than anything that was in Lucas' pre-sequels. They've put them in a desperate situation and showed that they've got some pretty good save-the-day skills. They dealt with the original characters in a way that honored their legacy. That seems like an accomplishment to me. I'll definitely be looking forward to the next film they do, hoping it's as good as this one was. | |

^It's true that Lucas knew how much more money he could make from merchandising than actual box office profits by the time Empire and Return were being produced. The fact that he was basically a sideline player tends to tell me that he had very little to do with what was actually in Empire and Return. In fact the only credit he has for the two sequels is as the creator of the original story and he also has a credit as the co-writer of the screenplay for Return. Empire was produced by Howard Kutz, screenplay by Leigh Brackett & Lawrence Kasdan and directed by Irvin Kershner. Return was produced by Howard Kazanjian, screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan & George Lucas and directed by Richard Marquand. It's only with the three most recent prequels that we are faced with just how terrible a filmmaker George truly is because while some may say that they love the prequels. They are definitely in the minority. Those three movies prove that George is a terrible writer, terrible director but an excellent producer because while these movies are total shit. They still made a shitload of money at the box office, in dvd/Blu-Ray/streaming sales and let us not forget the all important merchandising. In fact I am more than willing to believe that he chose to create all new ships, characters and what not in large part because he could sell more crap to fans. The Force Awakens is basically a retelling of Star wars but with new characters. Here are the similarities. You have a main character living on a desert planet wishing for more, a droid that begins his/her journey, learning to use the force, the evil empire, a dark lord in a mask, a death star, the rebels, the destruction of the death star by a lone pilot. You even have Han, Chewy, Leia, Luke, X-Wings, Tie-Fighters, Star Destroyers and the Millennium Falcon to help you feel like it's a new Star Wars movie. The Last Jedi was suppose to expand on Force Awakens but all it did is reset the entire series because now you don't have Han, Luke or Leia(because she passed away off-screen) and as far as I can tell the rebels are reduced to no more than can fit aboard the Millennium Falcon so less than 20. Exactly where are they are going with this franchise is anyone's guess but unless I hear some amazing news in the months to come. I'm getting off here because I can't sit through another piece of crap like that last one. The prequels pretty much killed my interest in Star wars. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Well, I saw the original Star Wars movie. And that was enough for me. I don't think I've seen any of the sequels. So I don't have an expert's opinion on any of the details beyond the first movie. (And since my memory is not great, and it's been many years since I saw the original Star Wars movie--about 40 years ago, I think--I really wish people would talk about something else. Just my 2 cents. But I do realize that George Lucas has made a bazillion dollars off of the Star Wars movies. And even more than that off of the Star Wars merchandising. Go, Disney! The new owners of Star Wars movies and merchandising. | |

I was a huge fan of the originals, but haven't liked any of the new stuff, not serious enough for me and as someone said too human and less imaginative, I'll give this a miss now, sounds even worse.
