Hrmm, I personally believe it was a great film. I’m not quite sure why it gets so much hate. It’s flawed sure, but not terribly so. It seems like main issue is that The Last Jedi isn’t a traditional Star Wars film.

It was a slower, darker take on the franchise with subtle themes sprinkled in. Most of all, it didn’t heed fan expectations. Snoke as the big bad guy? Nope, killed off. Rey’s parents? Who cares! Epic lightsaber fight? It was a trick! I actually enjoyed these small twists.

So the movie ain’t a traditional Star Wars flick, but is it a bad Star Wars flick? Obviously a lot of people think so. I disagree, though that doesn’t go without saying it wasn’t a risky film. The overall tone and style of the film might have been better suited for a spin-off film rather than a core film.

Still, I am curious to see the other perspectives on this film. I think Luke handing back the lightsaber works, though the cut back to Rey felt a tad quick. I like the idea however.
