I detest the scene in Rogue One with Vader. It just shows his cowardice. All he had to do with nab the plans and walk off.

I bought this on 4K blu-ray, and it's the only series I've bought, because the characters in this series are so diverse and awesome. Baylan Skoll stole the show every time he was on screen! I feel for Shin, at the end, too. She's all alone. It was just all too awesome!

To put it in christianity terms, when Yoda died he got transformed into a glorified body meaning the spirit. Same way you see Luke talking to Obi Wan's spirit

I recommend watching the prequels too especially the 3rd one

Tara thank you for your Star Wars reaction videos!! You make this so much fun and I speak for us all when I say we are thankful for you!!! I wanted to say that to you to start out my message. So let me comment on Star Wars The Last Jedi. When this movie came out I went to go see it the second week after it released. I never go on opening day. I don’t like being jam packed like a sardine as others do in a theater. Anyway I came in excited and I left blown away at how much fun I had and how amazing it was!!! The only cringy moment I had is Luke milking that alien cow lol. But I said meh it’s Star Wars bound to be something cheesy/corny no big deal. Then a few weeks later I remember seeing so many TH-cam channels totally bashing this film and the director. “Rian Johnson killed Star Wars” “ They need to erase this film” “ It’s not cannon this is total trash” “ If you like this your not a real fan” etc etc it got worse I’m not going into it all you can look that up. I laughed because you people realize it’s just a movie right? This isn’t real life? Or is it real life in your mind? There are a lot more REAL and serious issues out in the world that should you should probably care about more. But of course not. Anyway going back to a comment people said was if you like this film you’re not a real fan. Well funny cause I’ve been a fan since the 90s. I own crates and crates of the old books. I have loads and loads of figures I collect. Comics you name it I have it! So it’s safe to say I’m absolutely a fan! So I’m proud to be a fan of the film and I will always defend it and stand my ground. Out of the 3 sequels this was my favorite!! Hell does the movie poster in my living room not prove it lol. A lot of fans are just too picky and if you don’t like it go and make a fan film. Create your own sequel trilogy. Which by the way it’s not canon so ya. Tara keep up the amazing work you’re a true fan and you have my respect!!

All you have to do is watch Resistance, The Bad Batch, Tales Of The Empire, The Acolyte and Skeleton Crew.

The short answer is viewers these days generally don't like being challanged especially when it comes to beloved franchises and The Last Jedi challanges a lot about star wars. Legends fans wanted to see the op version we know from legends not the deconstructed layered one we got. Because you're a new fan you don't have these biases so you're more open minded. Kotor 2 probably would be hated if it came out today.

I don't get the hate for this trilogy all of them are great movies.

Garbage movie. Killed the franchise. #RIPStarWars

At least Harrison Ford kinda got what he wanted with this movie. He wanted Han to go out with a bang in the first movie back in the 70s lol.

Um... yeeeeeeeeeeeeah.... about Hera and/or the Ghost... well, to quote River Song... Spoilers. 😛 The people that hate on these movies are mainly sexists that are pissed about a woman playing the lead character. The rest are annoyed that it didn't follow Star Wars Legends material, like Luke's still-going Jedi temple or his wife, Mara Jade Skywalker. I don't hate these movies, but I can understand why some fans are annoyed about the lack of Legends material. They brought Thrawn in from Legends for Rebels/Ahsoka, so why not Mara Jade for the Sequels?

One of the first clues that Luke wasn’t really there is that he was using Anakin’s Lightsaber which was destroyed about 10 minutes ago

Why da frick did you only make a 22 minute video to the greatest movie ever made?!?

The Clone Wars and other stuff was not made yet. This is the first ever Star Wars. Everything that you’ve been seeing was created after this movie. In the PT Obi-Wan knew R2 and 3PO, but in this movie he has never seen them before. Even the fact that Luke and Leia were brother and sister had not been conceived by Lucas yet. Leia was supposed to be the love interest for Luke.

I enjoyed the sequel trilogy. Is it what I wanted as a fan? No. There are a lot of Star Wars fans that have read or listened to the audio books and those stories were what most were expecting. Luke started a new Jedi order and was a Grand Master like Yoda. Luke married and had a child. Han and Leia had 3 children. According to Kathleen Kennedy and Disney they didn't have any source materials to go by, so these movies were what they came up with. If they would have done what happened in the books, I'm sure it would have been better and more profitable for them. They have lost a lot of fans because of the way they ignored those books.

A lot of "fans" go into these movies thinking they're theirs to write, each expecting something different, rather than just enjoying them!

The Last Jedi is the finest Star Wars movie ever made. This made me tear up in theatre multiple times, Luke seeing R2 again, Yoda's final teachings, Luke's sacrifice. I am glad you genuinely loved this film as much as I did. People don't genuinely hate this movie, they were told to and decided to think as herd instead of individuals. The Last Jedi will forever be my favourite Star Wars movie.

Hated TLJ when i saw it. All these years later that feeling hasn't changed one bit.

So Rian Johnson started this while JJ was finishing up with TFA. EVERY decision he made was cleared by JJ. George himself has stated that he ALWAYS wanted things to be "different" from what came before. So the nostalgia that was in TFA was very much "anti Lucas". This movie was VERY much written to go against the fan theories that were crafted in the years since TFA. And it PISSED people off. I personally LOVE that they were subverting expectations.

JJ thought it would be better to reset the Galaxy as he wasn't a prequel fan. Reactions to this decision were......mixed to say the least

Were you going to watch Resistance? It takes place in this same time

The general of the first order is the son of one of the council that Gideon was part of

Good for you for giving the sequels a fair shot, I'm glad you enjoyed them. Too many "fans" just like to crap on anything that isn't OT.

Love it! Congratulations! You get it so many don't. You called something but I won't say what. One of the first who has 😊. I think you'll like the next one best and bring TISSUES😂

The last is without any doubt the most well written film with great pacing and storyline and I'm glad you didn't let the internet spoil your mind ❤ That's the whole reason I'm watching and following your reactions...keep watching and don't bother with what the internet says May the force be with you beautiful 💞

7:35 little foreshadowing with the hologram of Snoke's ship as Leia saves herself...

Probably one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite. I love what it did with Luke’s story and the idea and value of legend/myth, and Mark did incredible work with the role. My random fun little trivia bits: - BB-8’s beeps in the opening is said to be the “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.” - When Snoke slams Hux on the ground, the stunt double was so committed to the move and the number of takes that he broke his nose. - Laura Dern, who played Holdo, kept saying “pew” with the blaster.

It fails on a basic level. A slow OJ SIMPSON SPACE CHASE. The FIRST ORDER could’ve jumped ahead and destroyed the resistance.

TLJ is in my personal top 3. Rise of Skywalker is in my bottom 2...

This is my favorite 1 out of the 3 love that you liked it to ❤😢❤

In the battle against Kylo Ren, Luke did a dopplegänger. It was a very difficult Jedi skill, typical of very strong and experienced masters. He projected himself from the planet of Ahch-To (that´s why his semblance was different from reality, much younger and as they remembered him since he went into exile). He spent his last strength giving the rebellion a new chance... then, in front of those two suns (like in Tatooine) ... he became "one with the Force".

There is no way the people who made this movie didn't know what they were doing when they had Leia say "get your head out of your *cock* pit". 🤣🤣

Some things in the sequels were decent, but it was mostly just a disorganized mess of political stuff. If people enjoy it I won't attack them for it, but it's just not what Star Wars should be and what it has been. It's nowhere near connected to the other movies and shows and nowhere near the same. Rey is way too overpowered for having absolutely no knowledge or training in the force and they butchered Luke's character. There's no denying Rey is a Mary Sue. They're literally making her invincible and able to do anything. Luke had to go through some SERIOUS shit to be able to do anything REMOTELY close to what Rey is doing with borderline zero effort. This trilogy had no planning so if it seems like things are tied together in ep9, they're not. They made that up because JJ Abrams tried to undo what Rian Johnson did for ep8. The whole trilogy was a disorganized mess. When Poe said "happy beeps here buddy come on", there's a lot of speculation that BB8 was saying "I've got a bad feeling about this" and I'm with them because we don't actually hear anyone say it at any other point in the movie. At the 2:25 point in this video, and where the movie starts at that point, we hear a re-done version of the Battle of the Heroes theme, the music when Anakin and Obi-Wan were fighting. Might just be a coincidence that it sounds the same, but I do hear it clearly. A bit out of place though. It still makes me *MAD* how they killed off Han. Luke's character is so not who he is too. There is no way the people who made this movie didn't know what they were doing when they had Leia say "get your head out of your *cock* pit". 🤣🤣 I knew Chewie had a heart. He couldn't eat the Porg. 🥲 The scenes with Yoda were easily the best from the sequels. It felt the most like Star Wars, unlike the rest of it, lol. The music that played when Snoke was sucking the information out of Rey was a different version of the Emperor's theme. So as it turns out, Finn Poe and Rose's plan backfired, badly. When Luke projected himself across all of the galaxy, it was his older self, the last time he was seen by anyone, including Ben Solo and Leia. He was much older when we actually saw him on the island so it makes sense.

"You're nothing" Remember that when the final line of this trilogy comes. It's what resolves the entire three movies and perhaps the entire SW story.

New Year greetings & may the Force be with you, Tara! 😉

Definition of a Mary Sue: A character who always wins, doesn't grow as a person, and lacks motivation or personality. Don’t compare Anakin to Rey. Rey is the very definition of a Mary Sue. Anakin developed as a character, eventually becoming Vader. A few key examples: - The death of his mother and its lasting impact on him. - The development of his relationships with Kenobi and Palpatine. - His fear of Padmé's death. Key word: Development! In storytelling, there’s something called “want” and “need.” Anakin wanted to save Padmé, but what he needed to do was accept death as a natural part of life. He couldn’t do that, and his desire consumed him. Now compare that to Rey. What does Rey *want*? And here’s the problem: it’s hard to pinpoint. You might say, “She wants to be a Jedi,” but then I’d ask, why? Rey doesn’t have well-defined motivations, which should be a basic element of her character. Additionally, Rey progresses from point A to point B in the story without any real growth as a character and still achieves success after success. This is the very definition of a Mary Sue. Even Daisy Ridley, the actress who played Rey, struggled to describe her, saying only that Rey is "good." But being “good” is an outcome, not a personality. The fact that Ridley could only say that Rey is "good" highlights the lack of clearly defined traits or depth in her character. On top of that, we have the absolute destruction of Luke Skywalker as a character. What we got wasn’t Luke-it was “Jake Skywalker,” as Mark Hamill himself called it. If the actor who is Luke doesn’t believe in this version, why should we? Luke was an optimist who refused to fight his father, choosing instead to fight for his redemption. But here, he has a bad dream and considers murdering his nephew. Later, his sister needs his help, and he allows her to die. What is this? This is the foundation of Kylo Ren’s story, and it’s fundamentally broken. Whoever came up with this idea should be banned from writing anything ever again. In addition, the main villain - Snoke, died. I wonder what will happen in the trilogy that had absolutely no plan. The only somewhat decent character is Kylo Ren, but even he suffers. His line about "killing the past" comes out of nowhere because a different director had a conflicting vision for him. In The Force Awakens, he idolized Vader and wanted to be like him. In The Last Jedi, without proper development, he suddenly doesn’t want to be like Vader anymore. The closest thing to character development we get is Snoke mocking him and telling him to take off the mask because he looks like a clown. That’s not well-written character growth.

visually it is amazing but I believe people expected a more grand story for Luke.

It was so awesome seeing your reaction. Almost beat for beat, it echoes the ways that my kids love this movie. It's just so unthinkable to me, as well, how people can hate this move with such fervor. And this is coming from a 43 year old lifelong Star Wars fan. Such a profound and powerful story. It's actually my third-favorite film in the entire franchise and it's just such a thing of beauty to me. The next one is the one that kind of falters for me, and although I like the ending overall, there were many things in the movie I don't like mainly because they showcase JJ Abrams' worst filmmaking tendencies. I am not a fan of his as a filmmaker. He's such a shallow director, always goes for the low hanging fruit in terms of nostalgia and fan service. But it's still a decent film overall and has some great moments and a great conclusion. I love your genuineness and am subbing to you immediately!!!

Tara…Anakin was created by a vergence in the Force. A vergence is a powerful concentration of Force energy that can be centered around a person, object, or place. Qui-Gon mentioned this in Episode 1. The Acolyte series centers around and explains the vergence more. The main reason fans didn’t like this film was due to the way Luke was depicted. Most fans wanted to see Luke as this all powerful superhero Jedi that would fight Kylo, Snoke and save the day. They weren’t looking for the old Luke full of emotional trauma & without hope. 😆 The only part of the film that I didn’t care for was the entire Cantù Bight act. That was a waste of storytelling and served no purpose in the end.

I love this movie, and never understood the hate. It's subtle and I know some people missed some of the details, because it wasn't spelled out for them.

My thoughts about this movie is that it subverts expectations in a way that is a mockery for established fans. Luke being a grumpy beat down old man and not the Hero we expected, (Until the last part) Snoke was made up to be as huge of a foil as the Emperor was, yet he is cut in half just like that? for many the Canto Bite plot is an eyesore, but that I don't agree with. Another upset is how the Director wiped the board with all the players so to speak, the movie reduces both the Resistance to a handful of people on the Millennium Falcon and the First Order to a fraction of its fleet. As movie making goes, Rian Johnson makes nothing "bad". but the result feels like him blwoing rasberries to the fans.

This is my favourite episode of the sequel trilogy. Loved your reaction.

Yoda still out here dropping jewels of wisdom. So great to see him again. Other than the casino planet I think this movie is very good. Much deeper than most of the others. Glad you enjoyed it. Your enjoyment was infectious

I have no idea how they will recast Baylon. Ray Stevenson did such a good job portraying him.

1) The bombing run - There is no gravity in space to make bombs fall. Leading a bunch of slow-moving, defenseless bombers into position to drop thousands of kinetic weapons on a ship is utterly illogical and has no connection to anything else in Star Wars. 2) The whole of the resistance exists in that one fleet? Really? And the fleet is slowly peeled off as they drift ahead in space? 3) Laura Dern's character kept secrets just to make things dramatic. There is no actual reason for her actions. 4) Literally everything about Cantobite. From calling a known character with no relation to the plot for help (who's engaged in some random firefight) to looking for one particular hacker and finding some random also-capable guy in jail to the overly heavy-handed social commentary to the dopey chase scene... everything was disastrously terrible about the plot on that planet. 5) Luke's attitude and weak justifications for his perspective, Yoda "destroying" and mocking the books, Luke teaching 2 of 3 lessons. 6) Rey coming from nobodies is utterly asinine and doesn't fit in any way with any of the setup from Force Awakens. 7) BB-8 controlling a walker is nothing but fan-service, where Chopper doing the same thing would actually be acceptable because those two droids have different capabilities. 8) If Finn's driving full-speed at the "miniaturized death star tech" (also, what? How does he know this? How did they build this? If they have this, why aren't they firing it from space?), how did Rose get ahead to cut him off? 9) The death of Snoke was lazy. There are more reasons, but those are some of the worst flaws with this film. It has some positives. Some of the comedy works well, the moment where the ships are destroyed by yet-another suicide run (a common theme among rebels/resistance) is fantastic, Luke's "appearance" in the final battle and his conversation with Kylo are all great. But the overarching problems with this movie are just too much.

The actor portraying young Ahsoka also played young Gamora in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy films.

Awesome reaction! I liked The Force Awakens more than The Last Jedi, but this movie was good, had some incredible moments, and doesn’t deserve the criticism it gets.

You asked, why everyone hates this movie: 1) Luke’s Character is Completely Destroyed Luke Skywalker, who believed there was good in Darth Vader, wouldn’t give up just because of a vision about Kylo Ren. That’s completely out of character and makes no sense. 2) The Leia “Mary Poppins” Scene That scene where Leia floats through space? I felt physically ill. It was ridiculous and completely broke the immersion. 3) Pointless Subplots and Ridiculous Moments The casino planet sequence was a waste of time, and Admiral Holdo’s hyperspace maneuver was flashy but nonsensical. Not to mention the opening scene with the bombers-what happened to B-wings? 4) Disrespecting the Expanded Universe Everything I loved and grew up with in the Star Wars Expanded Universe was thrown away-Thrawn, Mara Jade, and countless other stories-all erased as if they never mattered. It felt like my childhood was invalidated. 5) No Grand “Thor Arrives in Wakanda” Moment I wanted to see Luke in his prime, a Grand Master of the Jedi Order, using his powers one last time. I wanted a reunion of Luke, Leia, and Han. We got none of that. The Mandalorian’s “The Rescue” gave me the Luke Skywalker moment I’d been waiting for my entire life, but it should’ve been in the sequels. 6) Rey is a Mary Sue We’ve had amazing strong female characters in Star Wars-Padmé, Leia, Ahsoka, Cara Dune-but Rey? She’s a Mary Sue. She defeats Kylo Ren without any training. Luke barely survived his first confrontation with Vader after extensive training, but Rey? Not a scratch. It’s absurd. 7)) What Was the Point of Snoke? Snoke was hyped up as this mysterious Sith lord, only to be killed off easily with no explanation of who he was or why he mattered. His character was pointless. The Rey Parentage Mystery Was a Letdown 8)At the time, I was so invested in finding out who Rey’s parents were. Was she a Kenobi? Luke and Mara Jade’s daughter? The fan theories were incredible, and honestly, so much better than the actual reveal. I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it, but the answer was a massive disappointment. 9) The Big Question: Where Are Other Key Characters? During all this chaos, where is Ahsoka Tano? Where’s Cal Kestis from Jedi: Fallen Order? These characters exist in the timeline and are integral to the galaxy, yet they’re ignored. And with Kyle Katarn erased from canon, it feels like so many fan-favorites were sidelined or forgotten. This movie felt like it destroyed Star Wars for me. It took everything I loved about the saga and threw it in the trash. It wasn’t until The Mandalorian came along that I felt that spark of love for Star Wars again.

Happy New Year!
