The Last Jedi wasn't a dud because of Rey and Holdo and Rose. But at the end of the day, a poor script with a salad bar of plot holes and underdeveloped characters is a lousy film and in danger of becoming the new norm. We're in a time, mainly since the female led Ghostbusters of 2016, that if we criticize a film that features women as the heroes, we must be sexist. Mon 16th Dec You hit the nail on the head with that, man.Like Nick Nolte says in the Mandalorian: I have spoken. I love what Star Wars was and tolerate what Star Wars now is. Disney had no trilogy plan going into the thing, let Johnson abandon every idea set up by JJ in The Force Awakens, and was reshooting the newbie right up until the last minute because they still have no idea what they're doing with Star Wars. Johnson is a good director who should never have been given the reigns to a Star Wars film. Disney is already doing damage control over reception of The Rise of Skywalker. The Last Jedi is why Solo underperformed, though the quality of Solo is why it lost money. Yoda said something about failure being our biggest teacher. The humor is wildly out of place, iconic Luke Skywalker is reduced to a pathetic coward because the new underdeveloped cast can't shine next to what the original trilogy characters were, and the whole affair feels like fan fiction penned by a very talented high school kid.

With its sequel, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker launching this week, heated conversation is as prevalent as ever, and The Last Jedi's director Rian Johnson seems to have left a subtle(ish) reaction online. Some love it just as much as any other Star Wars movie, but taking a wander through any corner of the internet dedicated to the series reveals that there are plenty who aren't afraid to shout about their frustrations with it, too. Ever since Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrived in cinemas back in 2017, fans of the series have been quick to express their - shall we say - passionate feelings towards it. ![]()
