The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **
Time

TLJ is out on digital and Blu-ray in a MONTH and I’m just now putting on my review… so oops I guess

Overall I found TLJ to be a pretty good movie, it did new things which is what I wanted, it blew my expectations (I was one of those fans theorizing about Snoke and Rey’s parents and all that bull crap) and at first, I was kinda bummed out that my theories weren’t true but after like five or so minutes I just appreciated the movie for what it was and I will list the things I found off about the movie but then again they are more on the nit pick side and not really criticisms.
-I found most of the one-liners to be timed bad and made it feel more like a Marvel movie but I won’t say I didn’t chuckle at a few of them
-Rey’s parents. I know I said I’ve learned to appreciate the movie for the moves it took but I’m kinda sad that Rey isn’t a Skywalker, and that is really because I’ve always seen the main Star Wars saga to focus on the Skywalker family with the prequels being about Anakin, the originals being about Luke, and this new trilogy is about Rey
-SPACE LEIA!!! This bugged me so much and my real complaint about this is how they could’ve really done it. Kylo was struggling to fire his missiles at Leia because he wasn’t fully on the dark side, SOOOO they could’ve made Kylo use the force to push her over to the door of the Raddus
Those are really my only complaints about the movie, and I know people had a problem with the Canto Bight part of the movie but I didn’t mind it as much. Sure the whole “treat animals nicely” moral of that was stupid and shouldn’t be something that Star Wars should have to teach kids but you know Disney. Anyway, I found the Canto Bight part to be important to Finn’s character due to one thing I realized when Finn wakes up we see him packing his things and trying to leave but at the battle of Crait he tries to sacrifice himself for the Resistance (which I’m kinda happy he ended up being saved because having to witness Luke die was hard enough) AND FINALLY!!! my final comment is on Snoke’s death. This was probably the most controversial decision to many fans but I wasn’t as sad as most and that’s because I found him there only to push Kylo over the edge and bring him to the dark side. They did the same with Emperor Palpatine and I remember someone saying that the Emperor’s name was nly mentioned throughout the OT while Snoke was hinted to be part of something bigger in TFA which I have to disagree with. Sure Snoke said that Kylo had to finish his training at the end of TFA which I believe “finishing his training” was referring to turning Kylo to the dark fully which he ended up doing in the film.
And so my final grade for The Last Jedi is an A-
While I did like this film more than TFA which was a damn good film I’ll still give it the same grade that I gave TFA only because my love for this movie is only partially higher than TFA.
