“Rian Johnson’s “Episode VIII: The Last Jedi” was as divisive as it was because”

Why do people defend this horrible movie??? It completely wrecked the whole new trilogy. It was supposed to be a keystone episode. They made it into a frigging convoluted mess with no real plot and added a bunch of characters that weren’t needed. It didn’t set up anything for Episode IX.

If it was a standalone movie it might have been forgivable. It still would have been bad, but it wouldn’t have been a formal part of the saga.

Oh well, in the end it’s just another work of fiction. TLJ is the last movie I saw in a theater. I have no plans to go back after that lecture.

The only good thing about The Last Jedi are the YouTube reviews ripping it to shreds.

The Last Jedi sucked because it was just a bad story with unlikable characters and plot points that made no sense. Light speed as a weapon? The rebels could have destroyed both Death Stars quickly and easily by just sending a ship at light speed through them.

It should have setup things for episode 9. But they threw it away. It would be much better if Rey wasn’t from one of the BIG families. Open up the story again. That’s what Rian was trying to do. But then Abrams burned it.

You can thank Kathleen Kennedy for wreaking Star Wars. She needed ti to be woke as humanly possible with a black stormtrooper (why?) and a female who can prove she ican be butch like any man. It was crap thanks to Kennedy. She is also an executive producer on Mandalorian, so its a matter of time before baby Yoda is aborted somehow, and Mando comes out as a gay tranvestite, because it is the way. It is the only way....heeeey!
