[@thetimeproject7868]

From my experiences there are three things in the world that you can't mention without getting into a heated debate: religion, politics, and the last jedi.

[@WiloPolis03]

Ok, I'm a year late but this still holds up today lol. The fact that topics like Star Wars or Doctor Who can cause just as much fighting as politics or religion is ridiculous

[@kameronmahaffey8314]

I think the Great Pumpkin should be on that list too!

[@isaacmandell-seaver7223]

Thankyou Jesus. Yeeeeeeee

[@frankmerker630]

Except normal people couldn’t care less about the Last Jedi, it’s really only small but very vocal groups on the internet who love it or despise it

[@isaacmandell-seaver7223]

Frank Merker well a “normal” person can still have a strong opinion about it. It might just be abnormal to engage in intense arguments about it online - and even then I wouldn’t call those groups “small”.

Chris: I think this film will please every Star Wars fan. JJ Jameson: (that laugh from Spiderman 2)

[@Danilego]

In the beginning I felt the same thing as Chris. I watched it with my friends and again with my family and they all loved it, especially the ones who hated TFA lol

[@gj9157]

@Anson Hartzler How about Carry Poppins? Or Snoke? How is any of that considered 'fantastic'?

[@gj9157]

@Anson Hartzler Which led to zero questions answered about who he was and where he came from, which most would say is very important. Not to mention how he rose to power. Its lazy story telling.

[@gj9157]

@Anson Hartzler No, good story telling naturally involves explanation. You don't introduce an obviously important character only to kill them off a few scenes later. Even a five year old knows that's lazy.

[@hoodedmaniac3602]

@Anson Hartzler If they wanted to kill Snoke like that, which I know they did, they could have at least explained who he was, how he met Luke and Kylo Ren, and how he rose to power

[@BrianHartman]

"I think this film will please every Star Wars fan." Oh, you sweet summer child... :)

[@KingTairun]

that guy is woke and way out of touch this movie destroyed Star Wars forever!

[@BrianHartman]

@@KingTairun There are some people who really liked it, and I wouldn't want to take that away from them. But Chris probably wrote that without talking to a lot of people, because the fanbase is pretty divided.

[@KingTairun]

@@BrianHartman At its heart it is not Star Wars. I can go on forever describing the flaws and how characters that don't act like themselves. I think people who say they really like it are saying that because of the strong political messages that they agree with. I think Chris saw the main stream media response and followed it. Imagine if you saw his recommendation, trusted it and went to see it. Pure betrayal. I can never trust his "reviews"

[@BrianHartman]

@@KingTairun I don't know him personally, but Stuckmann doesn't seem like a political guy. And I've seen him go against the popular opinion on movies before, so I don't think he just follows blindly. If he says he liked it, I trust that he liked it. I disagree with his opinion on the film, but I kind of see why he has it. The people who liked TLJ seem to me to have wanted Star Wars to do something *different*. New themes and new ideas. TLJ certainly did that. And to be fair, Stuckmann *did* mention things he didn't like, like Canto Bight. As a filmmaker himself, I think Stuckmann really liked the visual style that Johnson brought. And there were times when Johnson got into the lore, when Rey was talking with Luke. I think Stuckmann is just way more tolerant of Canto Bight, Holdo, and the pointless McGuffins than I am. :)

[@KingTairun]

@@BrianHartman I dare to speculate that he follow the main stream opinions and he follows the rule "don't say negative stuff" as PR move. Also if he is film maker isn't that conflict of interest? he would never say something bad about his colleges. I as Star Wars fan can not be tolerant of what they did they ruined the franchise. Johnson botched the side characters too

I think Chris would have the same reactions. Most people that really like Star Wars, like honestly don't make up shit in their minds 50x before they watch the movie fans, they generally like TLJ. Those that already have plotted out what the movie should be, those are the ones that hate it. That and Russian bots. Sure there are pacing issues (hello Kantobyte scene), and there are some things that could have been different. But overall this was a good movie. Far better than the prequels, and on par with ROTJ that had it's own flaws. And I mean seriously all the movies have some flaws to some degree. I don't mind the fresh approach of Rian Johnson. I hope that the series ends solid in less than a month (and largely ignoring all the spoiler and pre-screening talk which is typically non-substance).

[@gabeh1839]

@@LTParis i love the part where they kept leia alive where she could have been sent off, and where rose stops finn from sacrificing himself to save the rebels and fulfill a gratifying character arc for some dumb bullshit reason and the only reason they survive being that luke decided to show up as a ghost.

[@OldieWan]

Because we where born before 1980's and know what a good Star Wars movie is all about. If you enjoyed the movie I am glad that you could find joy in something so bad. The actors did their jobs and most of us have no issue with the actors work. However the story itself was a mess. What they did to Luke after 40 years was very disrespectful and spit in the face of dedicated Star Wars fans. The ratings speak for themselves, people over all disliked this movie as it drove their core fans far far away from any further movies they are going to shovel out and claim it is Star Wars.

[@jackschwartz9419]

MAJOR SPOILERS: Here's what I liked about this movie: 1) Any scene with Luke. Mark Hamill gave an amazing performance and made some good points for why the Jedi's hubris was their undoing. I like my heroes flawed, and in this Luke's flawed humanity shone like a beacon. 2) Kylo Ren's newfound attitude. In the Force Awakens the attempts to make him conflicted just made him look like a whiny brat, but in this one his inner conflict actually felt like it had weight. It seemed like he was putting more thought into his decisions than the "WAAAHHHH! ME NO LIKE YOUUUU!" of the last movie. As soon as he crushed his "ridiculous helmet" I knew that he would be improving. 3) Speaking of Kylo Ren, I really enjoyed the scenes where he and Rey communicated with the force. It established a bond between the protagonist and antagonist, which allowed them both to develop and exposed the previously mentioned character flaws in Luke. This connection also brought out the best in both of them, as Rey showed the hope that Luke had lost and Kylo seemed to be redeemable, leading to... 4) The Snoke death that everyone else seems to hate. While I am annoyed that they never gave us any backstory on him, how much could you really do with "the emperor but tall and even more disfigured"? Now we have a far more developed and interesting character on the throne instead. Also, I like how Kylo and Rey's connection fell apart afterwards, with neither wanting it to happen, but they were driven apart by how much Kylo was willing to sacrifice to "let the past die". 5) Poe's well-intentioned failures. In the original Star Wars trilogy, Luke's hotheadedness lost him a hand. In this movie, Poe's hotheadedness lost the Resistance the bombers that they would have needed later, and also nearly lost them the entire battle when his infiltration plan failed. Usually in movies that's the kind of plan that would have succeeded with only a hint of failure at the end, so it was somewhat refreshing to see the opposite happen. Depending on how you look at it, this could tie in to Luke's point about hubris. 6) Snoke calling out Kylo on his failure in the Force Awakens. It was a small moment, but it was good to see that even the movie's characters know how unlikely it was for Rey to have won that fight. 7) The reveal of Rey's parents. There are more people in the galaxy than just Skywalkers and Kenobis, and I found it really annoying how likely it seemed that she would just be another one of those. This was a great expectation to subvert; it's the exact opposite of "I am your father". 8) Yoda's ghost. Another short moment, but it was well done and helped Luke see a brighter side to the seemingly cynical idea of letting go of the past that he had latched on to. 9) Luke's force illusion scene at the end, and the final "FU" he gave to now Supreme Leader Kylo Ren. It looked like it was going to have massive plot holes, but the reveal of what was happening explained them away and gave us what I thought was a great climax between these two. EDIT: 10) Luke basically became Obi-Wan (a friend of mine pointed this out to me). He was called into action by the original Leia message and had a very similar final line before his death. It was a good way to bring his story full circle. Things I didn't like: 1) Rose was an idiot. From her first scene where it took her way too long to figure out what Finn was doing, to her letting the First Order blast into the Resistance base just to save one person, it seems that her dead sister must have been the competent one. At least she's consistently dumb, though. 2) The lack of backstory for Snoke and the First Order. In my opinion this was more a problem with the Force Awakens, but this movie continues that disappointing part of its legacy. 3) General Hux and his overacting. He was a minor character, but I thought he was far too over-the-top. 4) Poe not facing consequences for his mutiny. This can be explained away given that they were in a desperate situation and needed all the fighters they could get, but it gives the impression that he never learned his lesson. 5) How did Finn and Rose get to the casino? Wouldn't a missing transport draw attention from both sides of the battle? If time is of the essence, then how much time was wasted on this detour? Couldn't Maz have just given them the name of the person they need to find so they could contact him without all this? This entire sequence raised too many questions. Things I'm conflicted on: 1) Luke's death; while I understand that his character arc was about him letting go and allowing the next generation to carry the torch, I would have liked to save this for the next movie just so I could see more of him (like I said, I thought he was really great here). I do think that seeing that kid recreating his final scene with toys was a pretty good way to show that his legend has spread hope across the galaxy. 2) Leia's sudden use of the force. Other people seem to really hate this, but given that she's a Skywalker and that her brother could use the force to guide his torpedo less than a week after learning what the force is, this doesn't seem like too much of a stretch. On the other hand, she doesn't really do much after this and there are already a lot of fake outs in this movie. Speaking of them... 3) the death fake outs/deus-ex-machinas. These tend to annoy me, but they do not make a movie bad on their own. The Lord of the Rings trilogy, for example, had several death fake outs and deus-ex-machinas and those movies are excellent. 4) Captain Phasma's brief return. I don't have much to say here, but neither did the movie. Basically, I think the movie was meant to be disappointing: it played with our expectations in ways that I thought were really interesting and emotional, although I think I see why people feel betrayed by those twists and there are some obvious problems. Some of the other things that people dislike I didn't mind as much. For me at least, the good far outweighed the bad.

Imo: theres a difference between over subverting fans expectations vs. fans having too high of expectations. 🤷‍♀️

[@avanishdutta2658]

I don't care about fans though. It looks like fans come with a checklist and hype rather than fascination of watching a great movie. It's like 'I want these things from star wars, if it's not there it's bad.' I think this mindset is wrong since creative thinking involves Crafting stories and building plots worth appreciating for. Creativity involves freedom, but fans make it look like 'it should be this and this which we want' and not 'this should be done which makes a good story worth looking for.' Fans need to grow up, seriously. That being said, Disney should have had a plan from jj before he left. Even I heard he had his own script ready for ep.8, but rian threw it and said that he is going to make his own movie. This eventually created a disconnect from the previous ep. and fans cried like idiots. They should have had a plan ready.

[@kylielesmeister6277]

@@avanishdutta2658 I agree that fans definitely come in with a checklist instead of wanting to see a great movie. Something that I know FOR SURE is that even though JJ was the executive producer of TLJ, Rian was given creative freedom and JJ disagreed on some creative choices. Disney's ultimate mistake was that they didn't give the whole trilogy to one director. JJ, Rian, and Colin all see Star Wars through a different lens. It was a recipe for disaster and inconsistencies and disagreements were inevitable. :/

Really? tell me, does these ring any bell? Who were reys parents? FUCKING NOBODIES Whats Lukes reaction to light saber? FUCK THAT Is Snoke badass? FUCK NO Do we get real lightsaber battles? FUCK NO

[@bingo7831]

You don't know if Kylo was telling the truth, from my point of view he was trying to convert Rey to his side by telling lies and getting her angry and emotional. Luke didn't want anything to do with the resistance, first order or anything else. He just wanted to stay in solitude and isolation from everything, him throwing away the lightsaber told Rey that he was done being a Jedi and helping the others. Yes, Snoke was badass for a short time and what happened has a bigger meaning to it then you think, if you look back and see what was happening and how Kylo gained from it during the rest of the film and probably during Episode IX. Is that why you went to the cinema to watch the movie just for the lightsaber battles? Not for the story, characters and their development, possible romance and relationships. It's not all about the action and lightsaber effects.

[@flankspeed]

Luke's reaction to the lightsaber: was actually pretty cool, and in keeping with his "I'm done here" vibe. Rey's parents were nobodies: Hm. Okay... So she's an insta-Force-badass because... reasons. *sigh* Snoke: like his hologram; hugely overhyped and utterly without substance. Lightsaber battles: well, I saw some. Maybe you went to the toilet halfway through. But the poor use of Snoke, and Phasma (AGAIN), and flushing Luke down the toilet like a used rag at the end of the film...? Urgh.

Characters make either odd or nonsensical decisions throughout the film. 4. Rose. Everything about her. 5. Subversions that are just uninteresting and often annoying. 6.

Spaceballs : The Last Jedi. That's what I felt I was watching during the opening scene. SPOILERS. Seriously, the opening scene is basically Poe prank calling General Hux. Why start the movie on a joke? Poe: I want to speak to General Hux. General Hux: General Hux here. Poe: Ok, I'll hold. General Hux: You are speaking to General Hux. What's your message? Poe: Just wanted to inform you of the night I had with your mother. I felt like I was watching a scene from spaceballs, it pretty much made Hux a joke. And don't get me started on that bullshit with Leia. Force powers or not, she is the sole survivor of a blast, but not only that, they show her floating in space, then flying back to the ship like she's Mary Poppins or something. Honestly, I thought Rogue One was better than this movie. I wanted to love it, but the humour just made me cringe.

@@brendanfitzpatrick670 1. Luke chucking the lightsaber behind his back, and then saying "A Jedi's weapon needs more respect", showing a clear lack of consistency in his character 2. Every joke that involves Hux's incompetence, which completely erases any amount of intimidation he had in TFA to the point where JJ had to create a new character to replace him and start fresh 3. Snoke bonks Rey's lightsabre against her head, which takes away all tension present in the scene 4. All the times on Luke's island where Rey either destroys a natives home, or nearly kills them and is played off as comedy even though it should have had an effect on Rey's perception of her abilities or gave her a reason to control them These are off the top of my head and there is a lot more

[@brendanfitzpatrick670]

Kevin Oryon Luke throwing his lightsaber over his shoulder was supposed to show that he does not respect the Jedi and is not interested in teaching the Jedi beliefs to anybody else. Him catching the thing and saying that dumb line about respect was fan service to satisfy the people who cried about it. I find a villain who feels that he has something to prove more intimidating than a mustache twirling villain who is good at everything. Hux’s peers view him as incompetent, so Hux wants to prove them wrong and he tries much harder than any typical villain who is super confident in their abilities to kill the heroes. Hux has all the firepower he needs to kill the heroes and he almost destroys the entire Resistance when he is given the chance(when the Resistance is on the transports fleeing to Crait). I would not call Snoke hitting Rey with the lightsaber a joke. I thought it was him teasing Rey by demonstrating how powerful he is with the force and how little of a threat she poses to him. There are literally 2 jokes where Rey destroys the caretakers property and if you didn’t laugh at those then whatever, but I thought it was funny

[@kevinoryon9007]

@@brendanfitzpatrick670 Luke had no good reason to disrespect the jedi religion unless something offscreen happened, since for one his character arc was completed in ROTJ when he refused to kill Vader and told palpatine that he is a Jedi, and also the reason he remained in exile had nothing to do with him being a jedi, but rather his stupitity in trying to kill a child in his sleep simply because of a "vision", and that he cannot live with himself after making such a fatal mistake and stayed on the island as self punishment. Also if he had no respect for a jedis weapon and ideology, it wouldnt have made sense for him to be concerned for the jedi texts that yoda burned, or be even happy to see Yodas force ghost. If there isn't a good and in-character reason to justify him hating the jedi, then the chucking of the lightsabre is just simply for shock humor. Villians who are good at everything are not necessarily mustache twirling, but they can certainly the most intimidating because of their abilities and unpredictability, such as Thanos, Darth Vader, Palpatine, General Tarken, Hans Landa, The Joker, Hannibal lecter and so much more. On the contrary for Hux this film has made him a mustache twirling villian that is also incompetent in crucial situations. The "mom" joke and Snoke sliding Hux's face across the floor removes all tension that the audience would have for him in any scene, and his "desire to prove the naysayers wrong" is proven wrong by him attempting to kill kylo while unconcious and risking his life to betray the final/first order in TROS. Snoke hitting Rey with the lightsabre might have demonstrated that he was superior in power, but no further damage was done to her, since snoke was patheticly stabbed in the liver because of a play on words and does no further damage to Rey, and never displays any unseen or super impressive powers in comparison to Rey or Palpatine in TROS to show his superiority. That combined with the fact that Rey throughout the trilogy or until the throne scene occured, has never suffered a loss or meaningful injury, means that obviously she was going to be just fine without a scratch as always. The reason the joke ruins the tension is because when Rey makes the "Ow" sound and feels no pain after a serious cranial head injury (In real life a metal stick hitting the back of your head at that speed can result in permanent brain damage, internal bleeding and might result in paralysis. Don't make the counter argument that this is star wars with magic and space, since Rey is still just a human with powers, as fully trained Jedi can be killed by being crushed or by stab wounds ) it shows that the movie no longer takes itself seriously. Damaging the residents home and having it played off as a joke can be funny if executed properly, but this is the result of Rey waving her lightsabre at a rock for training, and after nearly killing innocent civilians she continues to wave and flail her lightsabre, but thanks to plot armor she is able to fight off multiple red guards who have trained their whole life for melee combat (This fight has very little to do with the force, so logically speaking if Rey or the guards were consistent charcters, the Red guards should be able to best Rey in close combat and pummel her like middle school bulllies). I'm not saying that these jokes were not funny (That is subjective), but it is undeniable that the attempts at humor, whether they land or not, have a negative effect on established character traits and lack any meaning or substantial consequence to the characters in the movie

Many of his subjective twists were just him not delivering on set ups. Wow snoke died without a word. Reys parents dont matter in an offhand sentence thrown out by kylo. Wow the skeezy guy finn and rose tried to get to help out was an asshole and villain the whole time. So crazy. Vader chased and attacked luke at multiple points and was responsible for billions of deaths on alderan and threatened to kill/corrupt everyone luke loved, and youre seriously comparing him attacking back to him igniting his lightsaber against a defenseless child he felt a tiny glimmer of dark in?

I just saw the movie and my problem is that there is just soooo much ex-machina (especially that Princess Leia scene wtf). *All mighty powerful characters dying pretty quick by rookies in almost funny ways and elite warriors being tossed around like toys by said rookies. Rey only trained for a day and has more mastery than Luke when he was trained by Yoda and Obi Wan??* I didn't like that in TFA either. Hamill was just being Hamill, which was awesome. And what he did at the end was especially really cool and unexpected :') *SPOILERS!* The way Supreme Leader Snoke died dude!! What a supreme disappointment, after all that buildup to just die by a little trick like that. I thought he would be able to sense that shit right away.

[@BaltaBueno]

Nothing in the entire movie came even close to Vader's final scene in Rogue One.

[@VenocydeHD]

Yeah and the whole Finn and Rose plot was unnecessary.

[@quqbalam5089]

Again with the factually wrong stuff. At no point did Rey show more mastery than Luke in this film. When you consider even Disney canon and not the pre-Disney EU, saying Rey has more mastery with Luke with the Force becomes laughable. Then you go into the pre-Disney EU and it's not even a contest.

[@BaltaBueno]

She fought against Snoke's elite guards and killed them and went toe to toe with Kylo Ren and almost killed him too (TFA)...

[@Khalirei]

Rookies with force powers. They did not win easily. They did not get out of that fight unscathed. The scenes served their purpose and were entertaining.

[@EthanG298]

one thing that no one is talking about, what were the knights of ren up to through out this film? they're obviously not that important to the main story but it would have been cool to see them appear with kylo at some point and give us a bit of explanation of what exactly their role is in the first order or just for kylo.

[@iutopian9322]

Chris does have a tendency to fall into nostalgia. I've just come back from The Last Jedi and it's honestly a terrible film. The plot goes nowhere, it felt like it should have been a subplot to a much larger plot. The ending with Luke was beyond stupid. There was random bits of misplaced humour. The whole story ends up being pointless. It's a shame.

[@lknanml]

So here we see the professional side of Chris reviewing this movie. (edit: I meant this as an industry expert who knows the style of individual directors and so on and see movies from a different angle and appreciates the work to make it happen) I see where you were coming from and appreciate the logic and it did raise my own view up a bit recalling all the documentaries I have watched about anything Star Wars but I watched this review with my head at a 45d tilt waiting for the penny to drop. Now my neck hurts and I had to tilt my monitor so everything looked normal till my neck was better. This is coming from a guy and family who if you go to my parents house they still have one wall in my old room covered with original Star Wars wallpaper put up in 1979.

The film reinforces Rey as being a Mary Sue, with literally one scene they ruined the character. That was the worst thing that they did in this film.

Killing Luke like that was the worst thing in this movie

[@SiriusBigbadda]

If she was a Mary Sue, why was she no match for Snoke?

[@TheNuisanceBird]

The scene of her getting tossed around and then being saved by Kylo was countered by her saving Kylo later during the fight. Also, she just picks Anakin's saber up and starts competently swinging it around with no training and is somehow able to use the Force proficiently in the same manner.

@Quest Fortune Yeah, everywhere i go, i see this comment. Don't you have something original such as 'Influence more critical thinking for evaluating things'. Maybe if you weren't spending so much time being butthurt over star wars maybe you would have considered it. That being said, i don't agree what rian did with luke, that holdo kamikaze manoeuvre and canto bight, it should have been short. The only things that made it look that it was a different film from ones in the franchise. He made his own film, not star wars, i am not joking. Another thing is that why we are still stuck at LJ. We could go beyond this. But we don't. We are stuck on it. Even Disney is bringing new star wars. Hell, star wars Visions got so much hate, with people saying how it is bad and not star wars. That's.......not logical since the creators and writers wrote the plots with star wars in mind with style of anime. It's really worthless now. And last thing i will say, i am not a shill. I don't support disney and never watched anything from disney+ again. But to all star wars fans, grow up and move on. You're acting like twitter incels.

[@kliochristodoulaki192]

If I want to see a movie, I always come here and watch the review. TLJ was no different. Sadly this is the first and only time we don't agree on a movie! I'm a little surprised to be honest. Although the movie looks amazing and the actors are truly doing a great job, my problem was with the actual story line. I just saw it so obviously I need to think about some things, but my main problem were 1) Leia storyline 2) Snoke role 3) Finn+Rose storyline 4) Pacing of the first half of the movie 5) The Physics and 6) Evolution of some Characters. There are some things I don't mind and others I forgive but these here definately parts that took away from the emotion and excitement that was complete gone by the end. Oh I should just stop here before I begin ranting. I am really looking forward to the spoiler rewiew and hope that Chris sees the movie again before that. It was definately NOT a great movie, it was worse than TFA (which btw was an amazing project) and R1 which had problems and left many people conflicted, but at least had a good script, action and consequense. I should just stop here, the disapointment is real folks! So sad :(

[@danieldainty3523]

Klio Christodoulaki Definitely agreed. I do hope that chris really scrutinizes the movie on his second viewing - especially after his comments on Rogue 1. I felt this was better than 7 but it still didnt have the same feeling as the OT or even Rogue 1 to me. The feeling of 8 was off - looked and sounded fantastic but it just didnt feel "star wars".

This isnt just a bad star was movie....its a bad movie period.

[@filmstarterproductions]

I had an odd experience with this film. I found the first half dumbfoundingly messy, aimless and without any care. With everything the Force Awakens set up, the film felt self important, trying to be SO outwardly subversive that it felt like it was too good to be a Star Wars movie. But the first half wasn't subversive in a good way, it just felt careless. At times, especially during the Finn/Rose subplot, I thought I was watching a George Lucas prequel - it was like something from an entirely different film. But the second half changed. Gone was the mess, the aimlessness, the poorly plotted monotony that crippled the first half. What was left was something strong and confident - something TRULY STAR WARS. The second half of this movie is probably my favorite Star Wars film ever made, but the second half isn't the movie - it's just a part of it. The second half was full of surprises, perfectly subversive and different in ways the first half yearned to be. I don't know, I have a lot of feelings about this movie.

I agree ... I had trouble getting into the movie ... then after that I was .. some how. Yes the Fin/Rose sub plot sucked, it did feel like GL created that scene. They should have killed the whole subplot .. had Fin and Poe go to the ship ... and have a major battle with Captain Phasma. I like that the mission actually failed. But using the ship in light speed as a weapon ... best scene EVER
