Ok…so for someone that really doesn’t like TLJ (just shy of hate) and hates what RJ and Disney have done to SW with TLJ, this analysis video is absolutely beautiful! That is not to say that it’s not also very watchable / listenable by people that like the movie as he does a great job on remaining pretty unbiased and simply poses logical questions and really explains where his point of view comes from.
It is in similar vein to the Red Letter Media detailed critical analysis videos of the prequels and equally as long, if not longer. This is only the first of 3 parts and it’s 1hr and 22min by itself but it’s interesting and on point from start to finish, I had no trouble listening the whole way through.
It is very much a detailed and in depth movie critique rather than the usual ranting review or opinion piece from one or another of the varying extreme views out there (and therefore there are no pre-warnings required for this video 😉 ):

I’ve seen it, and personally I’m not a fan of the Plinkett style reviews, at least in terms of Star Wars. For the most part, this guy is just picking apart the plot scene by scene. As far as I’m concerned, the plot has always been a backdrop for the characters, and harping on it is completely missing the point. You can pick apart the OT Plinkett style if you wanted to. My biggest problem with The Last Jedi are the inconsistencies in tone and inconsistencies in characters from The Force Awakens and the previous films.
