Movie Review: Star Wars The Last Jedi

[@RazireKVD]

The star of this entire movie is Mark Hamill's crazy eyes. They give the best performance.

[@debonaire_nerd]

Why was Snoke dressed like Goldmember?

[@Wired4Life2]

He loves gooooooollllllllldddddddd.

[@marcosdheleno]

because... he can? i mean, is there a good reason not to?

[@TheSmileyFaice]

I heard the inspiration was from fucking hugh hefner.

[@annnee6818]

Debonaire Nerd Because he's your vaaaadeeer

[@debonaire_nerd]

Rose + Sister = Fook Yu + Fook Mi

[@ZekeAxel]

See it for the milking scene

[@KEVMAN7987]

StarTsurugi That scene made me uncomfortable, but in a good way.

[@Emplordxiii]

Can’t believe Jar Jar Binks appeared in the film as Snoke’s master and turned Rey to the Dark side so she can be with her brother Kylo and join Thanos to find the Infinity Stones to take down the Justice League.

[@Edax_Royeaux]

Fun fact, that red salt desert is actually a real place in Utah. It's not as deeply crimson in real life, but it's there. The significant other revealed to me she used to fly her drone around those same mountains.

[@TerryB01]

Would have been better if Chewie were Rei's dad and if Kylo was a hyper-evolved Ewok.

[@bjornbiff]

Or if Snoke was Grand Moff Tarkin who survived the death star explosion.

[@nickmattio3397]

That sounds like an Oscar Sweeper and serious contender to Empire Strikes Back. Make it happen ASAP lol

[@Lightscribe225]

Does anyone else find it ironic that Mark Hamill's character dies even though Mark Hamill is still alive while Carrie Fisher's character is still alive while she is dead?

[@RedimusStudios]

Dark Knight syndrome. 2 possible characters to kill off, they killed off the wrong one.

[@johngun7418]

Was thinking the exact same thing lol

[@annnee6818]

Lightscribe225 Yeah I thought that was kinda dumb. They had the time to sort that one... 😩

[@mre8269]

Lightscribe225 leia should have been the one who sacrificed herself to save the escape ships and luke should still be alive bro.

[@SukiNoKoe]

I liked that though because they played with your expectations and did the opposite of what you thought.

[@sarahharris2729]

to be FAIR, I've been on that actual island. it's called skelling michael and it's a few miles off the coast of my home county in Ireland. it has a summer colony of puffins nick named the clowns of the sea, as they can look a bit comical waddling around. apparently they inspired the porgs. actual monks lived on the island in the huts and never left, eating nothing but birds and fish and growing a few root vegetables. it's an interesting place. as for the salt plains, it reminded me of the snow scenes in Crimson Peak where it was white on top and red dirt underneath as if it were bleeding. Speaking of, I think I saw a credit for Benicio del Toro in this?!?

[@sarahharris2729]

I wish I hadn't seen it in IMAX 3D. it didn't need it and I was sitting in an uncomfortable position.

[@5roundsrapid263]

Del Toro was the code breaker.

[@SukiNoKoe]

oh that's so funny cause when I saw it, I was all "THAT LOOKS LIKE IRELAND!!" I'm glad I was close. XD (Ireland is so beautiful :D)

[@drewgehringer7813]

from what i heard, supposedly they couldn't keep puffins out of the shot and it was cheaper to cover them up with porgs than digitally remove them

[@niallh4194]

Anyone else really conflicted on how they feel bout the film

[@koopa6073]

Niall Hassett I keep going back and forth between "This movie sucked" and "It was really good"

[@ToastyMozart]

Kinda, yeah. I liked it on the whole, but there were a handful of pretty rough spots.

[@LokiDuck]

I feel like the best advantage of having the porgs in this was it was an easy explanation for all the nests and birds seen in the distance on the island. XD That island they filmed on actually is a major nesting point for puffins at certain points of the year.

[@jthompson8177]

Did you get the impression that they overused closeup face shots? Like it seemed every other shot the camera was like five inches from the actors face

[@razzmatabzzz6477]

j thompson I was honestly hoping someone would comment on that lol, it was hard to ignore for me especially during the dramatic sequences in the movie.

[@johnsmithy9850]

j thompson I didn’t but I did recently watch some Sergio Leone movies so closeups kinda become second nature for a second.

[@CarozQH]

Yeah, it was pretty distracting in 3D.

[@mindlander]

j thompson YES! SOOO TRUE

[@mindlander]

Jon M hahaha yes len musta loved it

[@theoriginalsache]

Wow. People either love or hate this one. No in between at all. Even The Force Awakens is less divisive than this one.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

We didn't love it, we thought it was good.

[@culwin]

I'm in between on it. There were scenes where I said "wow, that was fucking stupid" followed by another scene where I said "whoa that was awesome". It was very all over the place for me.

[@chapacoka]

Hey, there is an in-between. We're just really quiet.

[@michaelwautraets7126]

I loved how ghost muppet Yoda just torches the Jedi temple thing and then just laughs maniacly

[@lesserz6310]

I've been reading that the Porgs are there as cover ups for all the birds on the island, since it was mating season there.

[@CrankyMike]

I felt the budding relationship between Rey and Finn was the one of the best character parts of Force Awakens, was very surprised to see that diminished and turned into an awkward, forced startup romance between Rose and Finn.

[@1048Kane]

Finn is a useless character. Waste of 40 minutes of the film. Wish he died.

[@EmpressRayvyn]

I was shocked at that development as well. But with JJ back in the helm maybe it's going to turn into a double triangle where Rey/Finn/Kylo/Rose are all tangled together with emotional stuff.

[@lnfreeman]

Oh honey. You didn't actually expect to see black man and a white woman have a full romance in Disney movie, did you? Children watch these movies. They might get ideas...

[@MrLaggan]

lnfreeman agreed he should have been the Jedi not Rey but O well this trilogy is crap

[@macgeek2004]

OMG, after seeing +Sargon of Akkad’s review of the film on his +TheThinkery channel, IDT I can ever look at them the same way ever again. “Token” and “the diversity hire.” HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA XD XD XD XD XD

[@Robobagpiper]

I always interpreted the Ewoks as serving the plot of RotJ because they lacked guile, and are essentially uncorrupted. Their connection to The Force was undifferentiated between light and dark, as essentially naive and noble savages, and because of this, the Emperor's foresight could not account for them. Everything happened like he had forseen, literally until the Ewoks got involved. The lack of blinking was still... unfortunate.

[@sarahharris2729]

OMG. thank you! and p. s. stop shutting on the ewoks. tired of the hate. it appealed to a lot of little girls like myself (and the spin off) and I don't see a single think wrong with it.

[@sarahharris2729]

+Sarah Harris sorry for the typos.

[@Kaefer1973]

@Sarah Harris Just like that (well except that I was never a little girl). I don't really care about the symbolism described in the opening post, but agree to the anti Ewok hate anyway. I too liked the Ewoks as a little kid, so they always were fine to me. It's not like the movies aren't aimed at children as well.

[@Arv4789]

I love the older movies

[@debonaire_nerd]

Honestly, I truly enjoyed this film but was disappointed when the usher at the cinema came up to me asking for an extra $0.99 to unlock the battle scenes, the ending and bonus X-wings.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

This wins the comments sections :)

[@superspoock9007]

Agreed

[@debonaire_nerd]

@@StonedGremlinProductions Weird, only just saw this message now. Thanks for the thumbs up from three years ago! ahahah

[@CharlessMovieChannel]

Can anyone explain why Kylo was shirtless in one scene for seemingly no reason whatsoever?

[@helmaschine1885]

Charles Fernandez 😘 fanserviceee 10/10

[@GermanLeftist]

Charles Fernandez Sex sells. Why do you think Leia had to wear that golden bikini in RotJ or Padmé that sexy skin-tight white outfit in AotC?

[@InfiniteAnvil]

TBH, when he said that he was also annoyed to be force connected at the moment, I expected the camera to cut to him wearing a whoole lot less, like in the shower or something, trying to quickly cover up.

[@culwin]

Most people don't wear a shirt 24/7. Can you explain why he wasn't wearing a hat? People wear hats sometimes. Some things don't need explanation.

[@KEVMAN7987]

I think he had literally just stepped out of his "refresher" after showering. I can already see the HISHE animation putting him on the toilet as a joke during their parody.

[@cinematicuniverseultimate6238]

I find it adorable how Dave said he chases his baby around while reading Star Wars reviews on his phone.

[@RonWylie-gk5lc]

I already HAD a set of characters to root for!! BUT HE KILLED ALL THE OLD ONES and took the fire out of the new ones. they fucked it in everyday imaginable

[@Morrison64]

Really, I thought it was pretty good, it was a good watch and alot of others seemed to like it, different strokes i guess.

[@buxzw1945]

This was fun to watch in 22 knowing how everything turns out. This review summed up exactly how I felt after watching the film... and then I watched it again... and then The Rise of Skywalker came out. Fortunately, everything outside of the movie theater has been so good since then.

[@adam_nathan]

No kidding: In the opening dog fight when Poe Dameron’s ship was stationary I was very aware that the lighting for his cockpit didn’t match the scene. I’ve never noticed an error like that in a Star Wars movie on first viewing. Also the movie was tonally inconsistent, it jumped around far too much, Snoke was built up then unceremoniously killed before he could be properly developed, and they tried to get a social commentary on horse racing in there. And because of how much time we spent elsewhere the character ‘Rose’ had the best arc when Rey or Kyle Ren were meant to be the main focus. The last Jedi could’ve beeen edited into a (probably much better) stand-alone Rose-Finn movie.

[@SewerTapes]

Congrats on completing another film.

[@hungriestnunu7449]

Sewer Tapes that nobody will watch

[@SewerTapes]

Hungriest, it's not about that. Only the money men care who watches their film, and only if they pay. A real film maker just does it for the love of doing so.

[@drlarrymitchell]

I was there. I remember seeing the end of Empire and staring down the yawning three-year abyss before we'd know how the story continued...and then I was rewarded with teddy bears.

[@Atalanta01]

I agree with their review. Overall it's a really good film, very entertaining, and beautifully filmed. It does suffer a bit from this self awareness that it's a Star Wars film with its goofy humour and blatant merchandising, but after a second viewing it didn't bother me as much. My favourite parts were Rey on the island, and Rey and Kylo's Force chats. Still hate Rose though lol.

[@brucecampbellschin8632]

Star Wars has been meant to sell toys since the beginning. It's gotta be one of the few series that has a toy for every character no matter how small the part no matter how long the screen time.

[@garrettcarter2959]

I felt like everything after they reached the salt planet should've been saved for the third movie.

[@FourthStreetSaint]

Garrett Carter that’s what I was thinking. I kept expecting the movie to end but no they kept going

[@LucasSampaioMaia]

That just made me more curious for the next movie

[@pedrochevez2090]

Garrett Carter I feel you shouldn't be really talking about that if you think this is the second movie. It is the 8th movie, child.

[@billcasey3492]

Pedro Chevez Looks like someone landed on the pedantic planet...

[@kladams707]

Pedro Chevez You shouldn't be talking little one, because this is at least the ninth movie (rogue one) or more (Holiday Special, Ewok specials). Lesson is don't be a pedantic little b****.

[@drewgehringer7813]

Supposedly part of the reason for Porgs is because it was cheaper to use them to cover up all the puffins that were around shooting on location than it would be to digitally remove the puffins

[@drewgehringer7813]

I mean they got away with ducks on naboo and presumably falcons exist somewhere in this universe

[@culwin]

So cool that Brad got to review this with Benicio Del Toro himself.

[@weeds526]

I hope Dave gets Chinese food on Christmas with his family too

[@jman2856]

I would very much like to know if there was any polarizing fan backlash to the big twist in Empire Strikes Back. The opinion on the directions this film takes the lore are polarizing to the T.

[@nickmattio3397]

Leia flew thru space with the focus and addicte Ltd desire for more Coke n Kools lol

[@quleughy]

A lot of people sure are mad that their ReyxFinn shipping got shot to shit in this movie, even though it was pretty obvious their relationship was platonic in TFA.

[@Lightscribe225]

I think it's more that Finn hooks up with a character that is "literally who?" personified.

[@quleughy]

Lightscribe225 I mean there are a lot of people in The Resistance. There’s no reason one of those people can’t play a critical role in the plot and thus be introduced as a new character. And the movie spent considerable time developing her throughout. What’s more, it was apparent to me in the first few minutes wherein both she and Finn had the same background in tech and grunt work that they were going to be paired up by the end. I simply don’t agree with the idea that new characters in The Resistance can’t be introduced, and when they are going to be introduced, I don’t see how Rose wasn’t a proper way to do that.

[@djvoldemort1]

they have the same kind of relationship as Luke and Leia I feel like.

[@Lightscribe225]

quleughy They spent so much time developing the character they sacrificed everything else. The pacing in the film is shot and they focused so much on giving her more depth than a a Lego brick they forgot to give me a reason to care.

[@annnee6818]

quleughy I never got on board with the Finn/Rey shipping so I was kinda relieved...

[@MrImastinker]

Force Awakens played it too safe at times, but it was a solid movie. Rogue One was slow at times, but the payoff was excellent. This movie was a dozen levels of “WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON”

[@Kirkenburer74]

MrImastinker that's probably why I enjoyed it. I didn't know what was gonna happen unlike TFA

[@firerbenoit2808]

What payoff? No one getting any kind of character devellopment (or hell, any kind of characterization) and then dying predictably because "muh dark"?

[@pavo1394]

Spoilers: How did maRey Sue get almost instantly from Snoke's chamber to the Millennium Falcon? How did the thief know that the rebels were sneaking in shuttles to a nearby planet, when the admiral didn't even tell Poe what the plan was? What was the significance of maRey Sue seeing near infinite reflections of herself in the analogous force test cave? If Snoke gave Ben the false future image of maRey Sue turning and helping him, then how did he not know Ben's plan to kill him? Why is only a single ship equipped with a tracker?

[@firerbenoit2808]

1. Travelling at the time of plot. It might not have been very far away anyways,plus she's got Force Powers 2. What? 3. The significance was symbolism and because it's a cool visual. 4. Arrogance. He believed Ben would just do whatever he wanted without question. You might notice that Snoke treats Ben like absolute shit throughout the entire movie. 5. A single ship is equipped with a tracker because it's a very advanced prototype. Rose says as much. Thus it makes sense why not every single ship might be equipped with it.

[@namenloss730]

I think that's because you were confused by the dazzling shit going on, not because it's actually a good plot. I was just predicting the next parts of the plot all along, it bored me

[@maxcushway8666]

I agree. It was really good. I wouldn't say I was as captivated by it and in love with it as Rogue One, but I did really like it. It does have some great scenes, but it didn't exactly throw me many curve balls, and there was a moment with the rebel fleet plot where I felt disappointed, thinking "Oh...so this is all that's going to happen in this middle chapter." I think the only real memorable parts of this movie were purely visual, like when the ship gets torn up from lightspeed or every salt planet shot (compared to Rogue One which I remember very distinct character based scenes of). But that's not that bad. It's familiar, especially with the Snoke shit, and that can be disheartening.

[@buckleygeneration]

So what pledge level do you need to be on Patreon to get access to Disco?

[@spiderlily723]

It's the same level as any other Star Wars movie - great bits, bad bits, amazing visuals and some flat characters, but still a truly enjoyable expirience. I'm happy because Rey and Kylo fucking HOLD this movie (and his/Luke's story arc is just a good piece of writing), but then there are moments as stupid as Padme's sudden lobotomy in III or Luke's 'my family died? yey, adventure here I come!' no-fucks-given from IV. SPOILER BELOW My only real problem is that if the Violet-Hair-lady actually TOLD her people what they'll do, then Poe would not send Finn and Rose, and they would not give them out to the first Order, and the whole fucking second part of the movie would not happen!

[@Usagi.moon.power.]

Magda Wołczyńska I agree lol after reading the comments amd seeing some spoilers I'm trying to be optimistic about this.

[@Horatio787]

The Last Jedi is really hammering it into my brain that sometimes people just don't like the same thing. I really liked, maybe loved it. Some people say it's the worst Star Wars movie, comparing the prequels as more favorable in some ways. Some people are more neutral. It's going to be a complete dice roll on how it hits you.

[@ToastyMozart]

Seriously, would it have killed her to tell people she had a plan instead of ineffectually spouting hippy bullshit? They at least could have dropped that they were worried about spies or something. Also why wasn't warp-fragging their flagship plan A?

[@spiderlily723]

Again - why should a general reveal sensible information to one of her captains, one who was degreaded not even hours ago? I'm not sure how many people actually were left in the dark - we know Poe was and that later he convinced people to help him with mutiny, but for me it was more of they were pissed about the plan being to run away, not just because they were kept in the dark. So it's still about respecting authority and knowing when to retreat, both of which Poe desperately needed to learn at this point. +Some part of it was to make you the viewer emotionally side with Poe to then feel his emotions; but the logic behind it still stands, at least for me.

[@Kaefer1973]

Just purchased Master of Orion 1 and 2, I will spend my weekend with star wars alright, but not the ones including Jedi, and not the ones requiring me to leave the room for any reason either. But by the sound of it I may watch this movie some day.

[@briancyates1983]

I just wanna see what Clint Howard is doing in the Han Solo movie. I'm used to seeing him playing yokels, and now he's gonna be in a Star Wars movie. I'm hoping he's the Death Star janitor.

[@adler310]

14:25 what is moving there on the back seat?

[@KevenLC]

I realised near the end that someone is actually sleeping in the back seat.

[@400KrispyKremes]

What is in the back seat of that car, and why is it moving around so oddly?

[@LostInNumbers]

Actaully on of the main reasons for the porgs was to hide the puffins that inhabit Skellig Michael island. Instead of going through the trouble of avoiding catching puffins on camera, and losing good shots because a puffin wondered in, they simply digitally painted the porgs over the puffins.

[@Kaefer1973]

Wait, what was the surprise at the end of Empire Strikes back? The fact that "Dark Father" was in fact the father of the protagonist, the fact that the protagonist got a prothesis for his lost hand and wouldn't remain mnaimed for the next movie, or the fact that the secondary hero wasn't saved in the last minute and actually had to be saved in the next movie?

[@Logan912]

There are a lot of movies and albums I've had to warm up to before I really enjoyed them, and those usually end up being my favorites. However, The Last Jedi is one those rare movies that gets worse every time I see it (I thought it was good but not great at first,) and almost nothing in the entire movie makes any sense even in context. I always thought The Force Awakens was okay if not overly fanservicy, but it was mostly setup... only for TLJ to either ignore it or give a lame resolution. The whole movie just feels like a bad fanfiction, and Solo does as well although that wasn't as boring - just unnecessary and took away a lot of the mystery about Han's past. I guess it's better than Attack of the Clones at least.

[@michaelwautraets7126]

Remember when some people gave this movie positive reviews

[@charlestownsend9280]

There being similarities to empire is unavoidable with it being a middle film, so it will be dark, it will have the main character be tempted by the main villain, there will be a plot twist, it will be darker and just by being in the star wars universe there will be things that are repeated. It really wasn't a bother to me as the plot was still very different from empire.

[@HarrisBoe]

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, I felt genuinely shocked again and again in this movie. I went in expecting the unexpected and still felt surprised. And this movie delved into new territory more than any movie since the original trilogy. I didn’t feel like it was retreading new ground at all, unless it was with the specific intention of subverting expectations.

[@HolyknightVader999]

It is retreading. The master dying again, the Sith trying to turn on each other, except they butchered the ending to ROTJ.

[@HarrisBoe]

HolyknightVader999 they didn’t butcher it, they improved it. The Emperor was one of the weaker parts of the original trilogy. We knew nothing about him, so him being the “big bad” doesn’t really give the conflict with him as much emotional weight as the conflict between Luke and Vader. This time around, they cut out the baddie who doesn’t have any significant connection to the protagonist, and made it so that the main villain is now the character that the main character, and therefore the audience, has some sort of attachment to.

[@JEEVES635]

+HolyknightVader999 retreading a few grounds doesn't change that the majority of this movie did it's own thing. That "hole" scene down to the rain scene was fuckin tense, in my opinion.

[@HolyknightVader999]

+JEEVES Don't be ridiculous. Most of this movie was just copying Empire Strikes Back. Except they wanted to get rid of Luke so that Rey can take his place.

[@Lightscribe225]

Harris :Introducing an Emperor-esque character with no explanation the removing him just as fast is not an improvement. The original trilogy had the benfit of introducing a new universe so no one knows the true extent of how involved the Emperor is. This one came as part of a continuation with no explanation as to how he slipped under the Jedi radar.

[@MaximumMadnessStixon]

Honestly, I feel like I watched a completely different movie than everyone else. It wasn't perfect, but I really, really loved "The Last Jedi" and I thought the good by and far outweighed the bad. Like, I'd probably give it a 7.5 or 8 out of 10- pretty good, just not quite perfect. And my entire family also really liked it... as did all my friends who have seen it. As has basically everyone else I've talked to who saw it opening weekend. Wait a minute... it's almost like on the whole... people online can't always be trusted, and nit-pick things to death for no reason? ... ... ...nah, can't be...

[@deathdoom8]

Relax, I'm glad that you enjoyed the film and that you can share your joy with people who also liked the movie. But you're just as bad as the "online people" for dismissing all of their criticisms as nitpicking for no reason when there are legitimate criticisms floating around.

[@andyhoov]

I liked it but am a little iffy about how much I liked it. I'll definitely be checking it out in theaters at least one more time to really soak it in and hopefully come clarify my perspective. In terms of legit criticisms, though, I think it could have been tightened up a bit with 10 or 20 minutes cut without having a significant effect. And I agree with Brad's assessment that some of the humor does feel a little too "modern", if that's the best word for it. However, most of the jokes land just fine. Altogether I liked how the whole point of the film seemed to revolve around the general theme of "fuck expectations." Like they said, nothing is really shocking, but the story does take a few surprising twists. In fact, a few of them were stuff that I really hoped to see after seeing Force Awakens. Altogether, much of it almost comes off as a deconstruction of sorts, something that I'm always partial to. Also, having also rewatched Force Awakens and read some other opinions on the Last Jedi, I really have yet to see much in the way of legitimately worthwhile negative criticism. Yes, there are issues here and there, but the film making in both are strong throughout and while some actors are better than others, I'd say the performances generally range from good to great. Most of the complaints seems to stem from nitpicks and conveniences that people conflate with "plot holes" or just a general disagreement with creative choices. This factors can make me dislike a movie, but given the strength of everything else around them, I'd would never make as strong an assertion as "it sucks." Then again, the internet isn't always the best place for measured criticism.

I really liked it as well. If I had one criticism for it, it would be that some scenes felt like they were longer than they needed to be. It was like they didn't want to cut anything out of the film, when they kind of needed to in a few parts. But other than that, it was a very well made film, not the best Star Wars, but very solid.

Please tell Dave that his hair looks really nice in this video.

[@MiXVoy]

it's like The Empire Strikes Back, but with a doze of symbolism that makes The Matrix sequels looked like overfill

[@psychokitty444]

27:38 on made my night.

[@MysteriousMrL]

I was kind of gobsmacked by this movie, actually. After enjoying Force Awakens but seeing plenty of flaws in it and generally liking Rogue One mainly for that last act, this one I pretty much loved with very few reservations. I guess something about this one just particularly resonated with me. I really have no hesitation saying this is in my top 3 of the series.

[@adamtherock2008]

Smarmee I can see this movie being more well regarded in a few years. It’s changes and defying of expectations will definitely piss a lot of people off but I appreciate the attempt to move the series in a different direction.

[@MysteriousMrL]

Yeah, I'm hoping that's the case. After TFA I remember there being a fairly unanimous positive reception before a bit of backlash kind of leveled out. With this movie I came out of the theater just absolutely buzzing with emotions and how much I enjoyed it. Then I went online and it's like I saw a completely different movie than 90% of the people commenting.

[@Lightscribe225]

Only if they address a lot of inconsistencies. Like why a cruiser can wipe out an entire fleet by going to hyperspace but the Rebels never once thoight of doing that at Endor. Or why they bother introducing Phasma and Snoke at all if they have less screen time and impact than the Frozen short in Coco.

[@5roundsrapid263]

Smarmee Empire was not popular when it first came out. It was depressing, and didn’t make as much money as the other two.

[@Usagi.moon.power.]

Smarmee I agree with you. I enjoy the franchise and love the films. I haven't watched it yet but I'm excited. I believe this film is going to do great and people will enjoy it more throughout the years.

[@Scottthebassplayer98]

Okay I guess this is fine but where's the Ferdinand Review??

[@Luke.S2099]

So nice to see a positive review of a film that really isn't that bad. I liked it too, a lot more than Justice League anyway.

[@UnwantedStudios3]

my only real gripe with this movie....how did the droids and the scanning computers see a force illusion

[@mutantfreak48]

Well, if you can trick humans into seeing stuff like that, it's probably not that hard to also tinker with robots' sensors or whatever.

[@SukiNoKoe]

Yeah the porgs are cute but the ice foxes are way cooler, imo. :D

[@TheGrandOracle]

To me it’s like how empire was initially received it just kinda felt like the in between movie. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a great film in my opinion just had some moments that were a little off putting.

[@briancyates1983]

Is Kylo Ren aware that Darth Vader turned against the dark side to save Luke from the emperor, though? His being evil to honor Vader seems to ignore that.

[@sortedevaras]

The Finn subplot went on way too long, especially when almost every other character is more interesting and plot relevant. I know it was probably to sell a Rose/Finn spinoff movie later, but it dragged the film down.

[@SuperDevolution]

sortedevaras From what I've heard, new characters from Force Awakens had their roles expanded in this movie to reflect their popularity. I think his role was greatly expanded as a result of rewrites, and it is one of weaker aspects of the film.

[@spongichu9248]

Did they say Rake Movie?

[@Fiery891]

I looked up Porgs Rule 34. There is very little so far, but there was things to find.

[@Briansgate]

Thumbs up just for the Damnation Alley reference alone!

[@pikapal91]

I️t almost had a really familiar Independence Day moment too. “Alright you First Order Assholes, UP YOUUUUURS!”

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

I was thinking the same thing! "Hello boys, I'M BAAAAAACK!"

[@PHANTASMSEXSHOP]

I agree with this review more than any else I’ve seen. I appreciate the risks but they could have done so much more. I do not understand why people are so shocked by this.

[@MrBoondock1]

To cheat death is a power only one has achieved

[@dantechusa9355]

This movie needed Darth Jar Jar

[@SeVeRoNXIII]

Anybody else see the stay puft marshmallow man in the rear window ?

[@batmanjoker]

Quadruple titted turgid sea cows gushing forth rancid milk to cover Luke’s wild and quivering lips. Rian Johnson really understands what matters and doesn’t in his 3 hour conflagration of everything episode VII establishes.

[@EnriqueLopez-bm2qr]

There's a lot to like in The Last Jedi, and yes, some stuff to dislike. But over all I think it's a good entry in the Star Wars universe. I like this way more than Rouge One.

[@Rikku147]

Enrique Lopez definitely way more than Rogue One. It may have flaws but it feels more personal to me. I care about the characters; I can't remember anything about anyone in Rogue One. I love almost everyone in The Last Jedi, hero or villain.

[@Lightscribe225]

I can't really bring myself to care given how much it timeskips. It'd be like if Anakin became Darth Vader between Episode 1 and 2

[@Godzilla52]

I think the biggist issue with Rogue One is that the script came across as bad fan fiction with way too much fan service. I respect the hell out of the Last Jedi for essentially playing against most of the main trilogy tropes and doing its own thing. Although I don't know what they're going to do for Episode 9 now.

[@Lightscribe225]

You sure you aren't confusing Rogue One with The Force Awakens?

[@Godzilla52]

No The Force Awakens script actually felt like a script. Rogue One'e script was bad fan fiction through and through.

[@Valdagast]

I want Brad to write and direct the next "Girl With A Dragon Tattoo" movie.

[@megaman1N]

The light speed collision outclasses whatever feeling I ever had from any explosion I've ever seen in like any movie, ever.

[@iliasballas3849]

there is something under that blanket on the backseat O_o

[@KEVMAN7987]

I enjoyed TLJ a lot. I place it just behind TESB & ANH.

[@zacharydechant1303]

The porgs were created because the film crew couldn't get rid of puffins on the island.

[@Xerock]

One of the best things that happens in this movie is the realization that EVERYTHING. EVERY. Single. Bad. Thing. That happens in this movie was the fault of Leia Organa Solo and Admiral Holdo. . And Minor Spoilers: . . . . The way they do run things, it doesn't surprise me at all that there was a mutiny or that no one came to bail their asses out at the end.

[@Shardok1]

This movie hurt my brain :,(

[@jdzencelowcz]

First off. STAAAAAAAAAAAR WAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Secondly. It did kinda drag in the middle. 3rd. STAAAAAAAAAAAR WAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally. Yes, there were call backs to the OT, but they felt subtle this time. TLJ was good, not great, but it did what a middle film does, it built things up so they could come to a head in ep 9.Also, unless they prove sapient, I'm eatin' the dang porgs! (but no green milk)
