Star Wars: The Last Jedi

I saw it the day it came out and thought it was a brilliant departure from the macguffin-based plots that had come before, and it showed so many different things that had never been in a Star Wars movie before.

Turns out all Star Wars fans want is more of the exact same that had been in the previous 7 movies.

The original trilogy is over-rated.

There, I said it.

First movie is 100% forgettable by today’s standards. Empire Strikes Back is a great sci-fi movie by any standard, and Return of the Jedi is totally a lackluster finale. I think I agree with you

If you remove the whole space casino bit, I would agree with you.

If they had completely scrapped the casino arc it would fix so many problems. Not only would that shitty, worthless sequence not exist, but they would've had screen time to put in more quality stuff. Imagine if at the end of the movie the big reveal was that Palpatine was alive. Instead, they had to put that into a messy scroller at the beginning of the third movie.

Yes, but at least this one has 91% critic rating on RT.
