    Last Jedi was so much better than TFA and I loved TFA.

    The brought new Force powers, new ideology. They strengthened back stories. They progressed and HUMANIZED Luke. One thing I didn't like in the OT was how "perfect" Luke was. I loved that he was different.


    I also loved Reys parents reveal. I'm so glad she was random. It expands Star Wars and makes it easy to relate to her character. She had s-----y f---ing parents who sold her... Like, that's heartbreaking. She waited her entire life to two s-----y, dead parents, and now can ascend to greatness. And I loved how Kylo delivered the reveal. How it was quick.

    I loved Luke being negative...and his fear about Ben. Like...Luke witnessed the emperor and Vader first hand... How wouldn't he be scared of his nephew, and think he could be the next Vader... He had a fleeting moment of weakness.. Plus I loved how he was calling the Jedi on their bs. This might be my favorite version of Luke.

    Yoda telling Luke he "still looks to the horizon" gave me chills.


    I also loved the fact that the Resistance took a HUGE L. That basically the entire movie centered around their escape, and yet they all end up being able to fit on the Falcon.

    I don't think Kylo was dumb for thinking Luke was real.. Like...that has never been done in a Star Wars movie.. I don't think anyone would be like "oh that laser sword isn't real."

    Obviously Kylo knew Luke was capable of anything, he had them open fire on Luke for like a solid minute lol.

    When that chick flew the ship at light speed into Snokes ship...I sat their in disbelief for a good 30 seconds. I wasn't expecting that at all.


    Snoke was disappointing BUT the k--- was amazing. I wasn't ready for that. After I watched it a second time, you can tell Kylo planned to use Rey and k--- Snoke after he started connecting with Rey. I just hope they explain Snokes background in the next one.

    I also loved the tension in the Resistance and the fight from Poe. I wish, instead of the whole Casino thing, they would've all been stuck on the ship and had a mini civil war.

    Finn and Rose were pretty boring.

    Phasma is such a f---ing waste. I wish they killed Rose in front of Finn and set up Finn vs Phasma better. Then, Finn could've "sacrificed" himself... It would've been insanely powerful.

    Leia Superman moment was weird too. I'm glad Leia used the force once, but was strange.

    I really f---ing liked this movie though. It might've beaten out A New Hope as my second favorite. It was different and didn't cater to the fans unrealistic theories. Nothing will ever beat out Empire for me, but Last Jedi was so d--- unpredictable and unhinged. It took wild risks, and I'm glad.

    I enjoyed the space battles and Snoke popping s--- but I didn't really like anything else. Miss me with Leia The Silver Surfer.

    I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I was a kid watching them on VHS. I thought it was amazing.

    It's... different to the point that it's so unenjoyable for me. Add to that too many corny jokes, subplots that aren't needed. Lightsaber fights were good though.

    Different from any of the other movies?

    And I did hear about the joke s---. Marvel funny ain’t a good look with Star Wars. That’s not the series’ style at all.

    I was too. I left the cinema and I didn't want to speak to anyone about it. I was really disappointed.

    It's spot on and has no spoilers, but I would give it 6 max.
