I have enjoyed both films. Both films have been poorly written. I don’t understand the pacing or organization of these films, nor do I understand the direction they are taking this trilogy.
Kylo Ren’s character has not grown at all and Rey has not had any sort of struggle. What is the payoff here? Is she just Jedi Jesus and will just be invincible for 3 pointless movies?
The Luke flashbacks were cool but I feel like won’t age well. If they were going to do that, just make a another movie with all of that. It came off as fan fiction, something that people who liked the old EU would enjoy.
Are the Knights of Ren dead?
Why did Luke force project himself with his father’s lost lightsaber that Kylo already knew was destroyed?
It just seemed like lazy storytelling. How can we get characters to reveal plot points we want them to reveal? Have them project themselves across space and be in the same room together.
How exactly did Luke “not lose Rey” as Yoda tells him he can’t do if he just let’s himself die from force exhaustion?
I did enjoy this movie but WTF?!

I’m not sure what I watched, but it definitely felt odd. The soundtrack was repetitive and lackluster. Shame.

I think I hated it.
I went in really hoping to like it, and expecting to. I liked parts of if… but I think “hated it” is the only appropriate summary at this point in time.
I didn’t love The Force Awakens at first, though it has grown on me. I have come to a kind of peace with what it is, so I’m surprised at how much I didn’t like The Last Jedi.
The worst part is that my 14 year old son loved it, and wants to talk about it. I don’t want to spoil it for him, so I’m reluctant to really talk about it… which is hurting his feelings. 😕

I went in expecting to like it the same as I like The Force Awakens but I was blown away. I honestly don’t have any problems with the film. I’m glad I feel that way and I can’t wait to see it again.

It’s late and I’ll flesh out my thoughts later, but I really liked the film. Not perfect, and it takes the series in a different direction, but I had fun with it.

Haven’t read any other posts yet. Just got back from the movie. Still collecting my thoughts, and probably will be for some time.
Overall, what I liked I really liked. What I didn’t like, I didn’t hate, it just felt…off to me. With one exception.
I really, really, really, really, really fucking hated Luke’s death. Not the Kylo “duel,” that was one of my favorite parts of the movie (even though I called Luke not actually being “there” based on both beard color and lightsaber hilt). The way Luke actually died. For no fucking reason. At all.
Not. Fucking. Cool. Rian.
