Josep, I guess the stupid jokes are just part of the franchise and therefor I expected them. Thus, they didn't detract from my enjoyment, more than half of which is derived from the act of seeing it with my son with whom I've been watching Star Wars since he was a wee lad.

Well, I have an absolute ton of comments, but I'll leave them alone for awhile since most haven't seen the movie yet and I don't want to spoil anything. I'll just say this, I'm sort of a Star Wars fanboy and think that the Star Wars mythology is one of the greatest creative stories of all time. That being said, I think the Last Jedi as a stand alone movie by itself was very good. As a continuation of the Star Wars mythology and advancing the story, I think it was a borderline abomination. Sorry.

I too thought the movie was excellent, I'm 53 and yes a Star Wars fan from day 1...My wife, although will not call herself a SW geek, is truly a SW geek, she was more excited about the movie than all of us put together, she kept saying all day at work she was pumped! That's awesome!!! There were a few low spots, as in any movie with especially a 2.5hr movie. I think it left off in a good place. And yes the Star Wars story is clearly one of the greatest, if not the GOAT, story lines ever created. At this stage in the game the volume of spin offs and direction can literally go anywhere....The galaxy is pretty big |

It's hard to compare in one respect because the anticipation and excitement for The Force Awakens was so great given the time lapse since the preceding episode and Disney's involvement. The reaction of the audience in which I was a part was very positive towards The Last Jedi. |

^ I think that is pretty deep, I think TLJ sets up for the next 2 movies to explain the rebuild of the rebellion. We will see, though, as I think it can go in many different ways......At some point, the story needs to come to some type of conclusion and settlement.
Good vs Evil always has an ending......I have 2 major disappointments with Star Wars.. 1) Jar jar binks 2) Losing Best Picture in 1978 How on earth Annie Hall won over Star Wars, has to be the worst pick ever. Luckily SW won a bunch of other categories that year... |
