What pissed me off is the fact that we waited two years to see Luke and Rey. Two years! She climbs up the mountain. Scaling the terrain. We see Luke. He removes his hood as Rey hands him the lightsaber. This is amazing! What will he say to her? NOTHING!!! He tosses the fucking saber over the cliff and the audiences busts out laughing. Really?!?!? I waited two years for that bullshit?!?! So pissed right now.
I think Luke was totally off character...he goes trough hell to save his father and turn him back to the light side of the force, but when he senses the dark in his nephew, his first thought is to execute him?
I don't think Rian Johnson is a bad director, he's just bad for star wars and doesn't get it. He took everything that invested people in episode 7 and said nope fuck it and threw all that shit away. It felt like he just did that shit just to make it feel like this is HIS star wars movie. Now Abrams has to come clean up his mess. Rian Johnson is like the little brother who broke all the big brothers toys
When you see a Star Wars film on opening night, in a packed theater, it's supposed to be an EVENT! People are usually cheering, laughing, having a good time and enjoying the ride. When the end credits rolled, there was minor applause, and people just kind of shuffled out the door, quietly talking to each other. That's when I knew that I wasn't the only one who was disappointed in this mess of a film.
What bothered me was that they were subliminally attacking the fans for reading too much into Snoke, Rey's parents, Luke's experiences at the new jedi temple, etc. They basically said screw you and everything George built around the force. They burned it to the ground with delirious Yoda giggling in the background. EDIT: Actually what probably bothered me the most was that Finn and Rose didn't set those kids free on Canto Bight. :S
One of my major gripes was the casino scene. It felt so unnecessary. The cruiser had 6 hours of fuel left, yet they had enough time to go mess around at the casino and blah blah blah. Instead of that side story, they should've used that screen time towards Rey receiving training.
All I can think about is why don't they point a few ships and jump into light speed against the imperial ships. That will save a lot of lives and be more effective.
It’s been rumored there will be another trilogy after this one, that has zero to do with the skywalkers. Disney is just using Star Wars as a cash cow and will oversaturate this series within five years.
How is it possible that Luke Skywalker saw good in Darth Vader and refused to kill him in the midst of battle but lost hope in his nephew who wasnt even on the dark side yet and planned to murder him in his sleep?...wtf
Totally agree. I hated the cranky old curmudgeon Luke that we have in this film. At first I figured that it was ok, since he went into exile after feeling responsible for Ben Solo's turn to the dark side. But after repeatedly telling Rey to "go away" and just not giving a shit, I thought it got old quick. And when we first see him, he throws the damn lightsaber over his shoulder and off of a cliff. The most cherished, iconic tool of a Jedi master... just thrown away like a piece of garbage. For what? A cheap laugh from the audience?? Ugh
I've been thinking about everything lately and I think certain things in this movie should have been more explained I believe that luke found a way to go out like obi maybe when Darth killed obi he died same way I mean he disappeared just a thought maybe snoke was a puppet and not this big bad villain we've been waiting for and something bigger was controlling him as for Rey her parents probably were what were said possibly there adoptive and she was related to someone from a jedi who kept quite do I believe this is a bad movie no do I believe this a good movie eh just entertaining I do believe this will be a good sequel once we see the next
Thank God you guys have the sense to see this movie for what it was. A steaming hot pile of shite that only had twists for the sake of twists. The theme was failure. Everyone fails in this film. Including the director.
You guys completely hit the mark! I feel that TPM had a better story and even execution than whatever this movie was. It gutted the whole meaning of the previous films and I honestly feel betrayed. As a side note I don’t even think there was a “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” line in the movie!
Idk if it matters but the Jedi scribes wasn’t in the tree when yoda blew it up If you notice at the end of the movie somebody opens the cabinet in the millennium falcon they were in that cabinet idk if it hold merit for future movies but it’s something I noticed
Finally a REAL review. Thanks guys for the refreshing video. I know you are right about those people that get invited to the premiere in order to give rave reviews.
Episode 3 is still in my top 3 favorites, I was hooked every second of that film, the Palpatine scene with Anakin in the opera house is still one of the most chilling scenes in the saga (IMO), The Last Jedi just felt all over the place
It must be horrible! I hate the prequels with a passion! I tried watching them multiple times and I cannot finish them. The acting is god awful, too much cgi and they flat out just suck! I don't know how anyone can support or like the prequels.
Dislikes: - The entire casino sideplot - Waste of time - The mutiny could have been prevented if that lady just told Poe what her plan was - The stupid Marvel humor - Why did Luke tell Rey to leave him alone if he hid a map to his location? - The cliche and bad forced relationship between Finn and Rose - Her saving him sucked - Plot holes and things ignored from The Force Awakens - Leia floating through space Likes: - Yoda's return - Kylo Ren and Rey fighting all those guards (best part of the movie) - Luke kicking ass at the end - Adam Driver's performance in general was awesome
-You guys nailed it. A review discussion with good negative critique! You guys remind me of me and my two friends who saw the movie. We looked at each other after the movie ended and thought what the fuck did we watch?
Will there be spoilers? Jokes aside, I think the problem with these movies is that they are pumping them out frequently. Each year we are getting a Star Wars movie only to meet a specific deadline just put out a product out there .
That Finn and Rose part was dumb. That code breaker they meet in jail was dumb. Why didn't that fucker just leave if he could easily break out of the jail. Why would he be chilling there. Jail is not enjoyable.
If Yoda had said 'Talk to the hand girlfriend!' to Luke, it wouldn't have felt out o place with all the throw away comedy in this film which spoilt anything approaching a meaningful moment.
I said the same thing to my wife as we walked out of theater, that Billy said "I don't care what happens next." And that's why I didn't even bother to see Solo. I saw Force Awakens 4-times and Rogue One 4-times, Last Jedi 1-time ... Last Jedi destroyed the starwars universe fandom.
Worst thing about the film in my opinion was the final shot. The last shot of just about every Star Wars film is iconic, memorable, and always swells with dramatic music. Last shot of this film was deflating, unrelated to everything that's come before, and utterly cornball. The movie would have been fifty percent better if Captain Phasma had infiltrated the Resistance as herself. The resistance doesn't know what she looks like underneath the mask, but the audience does and it would have been a great opportunity to do some interesting things. OH WELL.
Can remember seeing this video 2 years ago just after Episode 8 and agreed with you all. Revisited now in the lead up to Episode 9 and not holding out much hope.
I’d love to hear your opinions on the kid with the broom at the end? wouldn’t even be surprised at this point if episode 9 is forward in time and he’s now a teenager or something
21:48 Leia gave up her Jedi training with Luke to become a Republic senator, the visual dictionary of The Last Jedi confirms it. She never completed her training.
The Last Jedi is a movie about failure. It’s a movie about realizing you are not that good at something, that you believed, or were told, you are. It’s movie that makes you check your own your own ego. It’s a movie about realizing your own limitations and moving forward with the future and moving on from your mistakes.
It was kind of ironic to seem them complain about the old jedi books being destroyed. Just like Luke they had expectations and ideas of what was important.
I left disappointed, and I didn't watch any promotional material. Lots of cool things in this movie, but it I didn't leave me wanting to see what happens next like the other Star Wars films did. I think I was just watching Star Wars for Luke, and everything about the Skywalkers. Now that Skywalkers don't matter in Star Wars I have lost the majority of my interest in it.
21:10 The books weren't entirely meaningless. At the end when Finn grabs the blanket for Rose, you can see the books in the drawer, implying Rey steals the books before she leaves the island. But I think the people who are praising the movie didn't watch it as part of the Star Wars saga. They watched a movie, were entertained, and are never going to think about it again, not caring about the overall continuity. And that's how I'm going to go into a second viewing, not trying to nitpick but just to see if it's an entertaining movie.
I have a theory about "Leia Poppins" that nobody has mentioned yet. Kylo was going to shoot Leia inside the cockpit, but held himself back to spare her, but then some tie pilots shot instead. When she was freezing in space and was looking back at the ship, she didn't use the force, but it was Kylo saving her life instead, since he actually has the force to do it and didn't want his mom dead.
Also this movie was about setting the stage for the new era of heroes and villains. Rey will rebuild a new version of the Jedi Order just as Kylo will rebuild the Sith in a new way. Heck even though the Jedi books survived it wasn’t the failed hero Luke that destroyed them but the wisest Jedi we have yet to encounter, Yoda. Even though I think he knew the books were safe. Yoda built a weapon to defeat the Palpatine and Vader, not one to rebuild the order that he saw die. The old ways failed Luke at the academy and Snoke with his apprentice which is why the move was to the new generation. The old ways to fight the wars failed not the Resistance and the First Order some thing new will emerge which is symbolized by the young boy at the end and the joy the survivors on the Falcon had. Not a bad Star Wars movie a new type of Star Wars movie.
Haven't seen the movie yet but I'm calling it..-Rey is related to Darth Sidious. Also, she speaks with the same kind of accent as Sidious. Luke talks about how "he's seen this kind of raw strength before, and it didn't scare him enough back then... but it does now." Snoke says: "When I found you I saw raw untamed power, and beyond that, something truly special". Also, isn't it a little bit ominous when Ray takes a hold of Kylo Ren's Sith light-sabre. -(It gave me chills to see that). Snoke: "Fulfill your destiny.." My theory is all based on the trailers Ive seen. Luke: "THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO THE WAY YOU THINK". -Very cryptic, don't you think??
Question: So when Fin grabbed the blanket for Rose, were those the books stored in the tree that Yoda burned down? Because that is the impression I got from it. That she took the books and now has them. As for the movie itself, it was an action movie that lasted 2 hours and 33 minutes. That's about all I can say about it without ranting and I really don't think it deserves and rant.
luke didnt die he became the prime jedi and can continue to project himself as a solid being. this is why he has been so important to the force and all its prophecies all along. also snoke cloned him from his missing hand and will enter his new body as a dark luke. and we will witness the most epic movie of all time in the conclusion
All I could think of was why don't they aim a bunch of rebel ships at the imperial ships and jump into light speed. That will save a lot of lives..Please let me know if that's a good strategy
I really liked Luke's story in this movie. He created a legend for people to believe in and through retellings of this stand-off will bring faith back into the Republic which has been dismishing.
I mean, this movie didn't need to do anything to move 1-6 forward, but, it doesn't even move forward what 7 tried to start. That's a major problem with this film.
Both the Empire, and the Jedi sought to control. The Jedi claimed to want balance, but used their power in attempt to have the Light Side of the Force overpower the Dark Side. The Empire wanted to control EVERYTHING, and rule by using the Dark Side of the Force. The FORCE is a natural presence in the Universe that was never meant to be used as a "tool" (as Hydrazor put it) The Force is meant to just... BE. It is instinctively trying to BALANCE itself, while others try to use it to support their SIDE. Which is why the Force AWOKE inside of multiple people all over the Universe, it needs to be BALANCED. It is giving these individuals power in hope that it can finally be brought to balance. The Prequels showed the Empire come to power, and the Dark Side take control. The Original Trilogy showed the Resistance triumph, and the Light Side take control. NEITHER ended in BALANCE. This Trilogy is the Force finally coming to BALANCE, and ending the cycle of Good vs Evil. THAT is why Yoda attempted to burn the books. He knows that the old Jedi ways are WRONG, and for Balance to truly exist, they must leave their old beliefs in the past. THAT is why the Force has come to "Nobodies" like Rey. Because every time you have Legends like Luke, or Supreme Leaders like Snoke, SOMEONE will always try to win, and overtake the other for control, meaning Balance can never be achieved.
We wait like 35 years to see how bad ass Luke has become and all we see is him crying around like he did in episode 4 . Projecting himself during the fight was cool but he is a Jedi master , he should have displayed some awesome powers . The Luke that we built up in our minds since we were kids was absent from this movie and then he just " poofs " away .
I can understand a super-fan review like this and enjoyed what yall had to say. But as someone that's seen the original trilogy 1000 times and grew up with it, but never became a huge fan, this was a perfect nostalgia film. The way Luke passed on actually brought tears to my eyes just out of nostalgia of all the times I saw the originals. So on my end I'm happy with the "reboot" style and hope it ends here. Cheers guys!
I agree with the stuff you guys were saying. The one part I did find amazing was the ship going to light speed into Snokes ship. (I also dont think Snoke is dead, I think he was pulling the same trick as Luke)
11:58 - I hope you guys already realize that there is another trilogy on the way after episode 9. Disney has given the director of Last Jedi, Rian Johnson the control over the next trilogy.
Not sure why so many hating it. Other than nitpicking it? Sure, it won't live up to my two favorite Star Wars (Episode IV and Empire Strikes Back). But there was some good parts to it. Some complain it was too funny compared to others! We were waiting to reveal who Rey is (Luke's Skywalker's daughter was a guess!) Christopher Lloyd once said: Sequels is much harder to do cause so many people want to go in different directions and other ideas. Nothing gets criticized or looked more low than sequels." Or words to that effect. Would anyone agree the highlight at the movie was the end when Luke came back to fight Kylo Ren with a different look that earlier in the movie? Some things were off the wall: Leia floating to a ship and the weird creatures on the Millineum Falcon with Chewie! Even the way Luke died was so strange (add your own adjective here!) I won't put this completely down, but I won't say it was among Top 25 movies ever saw Either!
I'm not a Star wars fan but, the way I saw it was Luke didn't die because he overexerted himself helping everyone, he fulfilled his destiny and then he ascended.
What i think of Anakin being the chosen one to bring balance to the force... The long haired guy said stuff about bringing the balance as he thinks the force is completely out of balance now, and i interpret it totally different: First off, what we know of the force we learned from jedi. In the first trilogy there were lots of jedi, lots of jedi training etc, but we didn't know of any person (besides anakin) who had help from the force (like the blind asian in rogue one). This tells me that the force is completely unbalanced in favor to light. every jedi is training their force skills in favor of light also. But then there's some profecy about a chosen one who will bring balance to the force. AND HE DID! Anakin brought back the balance leaving very few jedi and gaining the power the survivor jedi had, and he became darth vader. in the old trilogy yoda and obiwan are alive, and they are very powerful, and so are the emperor and vader balancing the power. In the new trilogy the emo guy vader wannabe trains super hard so he can stop a laser from a gun but he sees his ass kicked when he fights rei. why? because the force is nerfing the emo guy and boufing rei. the force at this point can balance itself, and it chose rei as a counterpart to the emo guy. this means that no matter how hard the emo guy trains, rei is going to gain power acordingly also. Also remember that in the new trilogy the most powerful bad guy is alive, and so is skywalker, but in this movie they both die, balancing the force again. And yet another thing: in the first movie yoda says "it is how it always means to be: One master, and one padawan." but yoda and the jedi interpreted this wrong again. I get that this is a force stuff where there can only be one master and one padawan IN EACH SIDE, but it was, yet again, misinterpreted by the jedi. So yes: the first three episodes were about the force regaining it's balance.
Also, i think you missed some part. In the ship, when someone opens a drawer to take something (sorry, i don't remember very well) we slightly see the books that were in the jedi temple. appearently rei took them before the cave exploded. So what i assume the third new movie is going to be about is the jedi accepting the dark side as a natural counterpart, the creation of two new padawans, one for each side, and finally revealing what the original jedi writings told us about the force.
Nope, they aren't going to explain anything in Episode IX about how Rey is so powerful. Why? Because Rian Johnson actually said that in the alternate ending of The Last Jedi, Rey is actually a clone of an ancient, powerful Force user. Her official lineage is that she is a nobody. Just like Snoke, if both characters are nothing, then they ADD nothing to the over all story. I guess some people like Chris Stuckmann like it when dull, boring, pointless plot twist give nothing to the plot.
One thing to consider is that both the rebellion and first order are on equal playing fields. The order lost its leader and now you have to guys striving for power. The rebellion is without allies. It answered a lot. Rey didn't need to be linked to anyone to have importance in fact I think this helps her character by not having some oh shit moment. She has the Jedi text. Really I look at it as a movie about struggle. Struggle to do what is right. Struggle in admitting your wrongs. A struggle to know when you let someone down and over coming the dark in all our hearts. Snok didn't need to have a grand story just like Palpatine his pride got him. I don't think he linked them in talking just saw what they were doing when he read reys mind and used it to his advantage. His pride was his downfall. There's a lot to take away from this film other than what is presented at face value. If you look at just that than yeah sure it's crap but when you start thinking about what's going on underneath it becomes a better story.
Perfect analysis. I left the movie thinking “in a traditional Star Wars film, the events of this entire film would have been summarized in the 1st few sentences of the opening crawl for the real episode 8.” Things happened, but they were all meaningless! Why not just skip over it and say “After the destruction of starkiller base, the first order has all but crushed the resistance. Kylo Ren has killed Snoke and taken control of the first order while Rey continues her training with Luke Skywalker.” Boom! Ep 8 in 2 sentences! The sad thing is, you now also know everything you need to know from a 2.5 hour movie!
on a positive note I received my blue-ray today cant wait to watch this weekend. btw thx for the sw review I always look at it like this as a fan even if the movie is lame just the fact that we got another movie is pretty cool and we are always going to have the highest expectations thanks again guys.
There´s something thats bug me a lot,... what a hell happened to luke that made him to changed his personality completely? And his nephew shit it´s not enough to make that change,... it´s just bad wrinting.
Why is the lack of backstory for these new characters one of the main reasons you all disliked it so much? Sure, you had your hopes up that Rey had some Jedi relative or something like that, but the whole purpose of a new trilogy is to introduce a story formed around new characters. Snoke was a character created to push Kylos motivations forward, simple as that. He doesn't need backstory and a big jarring twist to his character for it to be good. If you're struggling to find aspects to look forward to in the upcoming movie then I believe you missed the point of what it was this movie was trying to establish.
I agree. why does a dumb prophecy george lucas thought up in the prequels matter? why does any of snoke's motivation matter (hes evil, thats all that matters). Why do Rey's parents matter? The guys had way too many expectations and questions going in.
This was a great movie. People complain if a movie is too similar and people complain if a movie is too different. Episode 7 was a soft reboot for this new trilogy and it imitated 4 to remind fans of what they like and to not leave new watchers confused. People are just mad that their fan-fic they had in their head before watching the movie didn't happen is all. Rey is trained with a staff already, it's not much extra skill or different from sword or saber.
I don't disagree with everything that you guys are saying. But, with regard to the reveal about Reys parents. Wouldn't them having been special have been rehashing Empire yet again. I was actually glad they didn't go that route. I understand the disappointment with the plot but I thought the character work was good.

What pissed me off is the fact that we waited two years to see Luke and Rey. Two years! She climbs up the mountain. Scaling the terrain. We see Luke. He removes his hood as Rey hands him the lightsaber. This is amazing! What will he say to her? NOTHING!!! He tosses the fucking saber over the cliff and the audiences busts out laughing. Really?!?!? I waited two years for that bullshit?!?! So pissed right now.
justinjedi007 Or in my case, Luke tosses the lightsaber but there is no laughter, everyone just looks confused.
That was such an amazing moment. If anything else had happened it would have been worse off for it.
There's a difference between unpredictable story telling and not caring. This movie felt like it didn't care.
I was surprised at the reaction of the audience when the film ended. Long time Star Wars fan, trying to process what I saw.
I think Luke was totally off character...he goes trough hell to save his father and turn him back to the light side of the force, but when he senses the dark in his nephew, his first thought is to execute him?
that is why mark hamil got pissed off
Yeah. Very good point.
I appreciate your content guys! Fun to be a part of your journey.
Thanks for watching!
20:17 you can’t be fucking clown shoes when your training a Jedi 😂
That last scene wen the boy used the force to pick up the broom was pretty much saying “oh fuck yeah we’re going to milk this franchise to shit!”
Zjaycee10 That's the idea, why else did you think Disney wanted to buy it?
Lol actually. It was the moment Disney bought the rights
they want to milk the franchise.....
from alien cow tits...btw...lol
I don't think Rian Johnson is a bad director, he's just bad for star wars and doesn't get it. He took everything that invested people in episode 7 and said nope fuck it and threw all that shit away. It felt like he just did that shit just to make it feel like this is HIS star wars movie. Now Abrams has to come clean up his mess. Rian Johnson is like the little brother who broke all the big brothers toys

I also agree. Way too much “avengers” style comedy in this.
You're an avengers style comedy
8-Bit Eric the only reveal we got in this one was where the blue milk comes from.
All I can think about is why don't they point a few ships and jump into light speed against the imperial ships. That will save a lot of lives and be more effective.
It's a sort of millenial-cynical sense of humor and it's terrible
At this point, Episode 9 can only be about Rey getting to another 1-on-1 with Kylo where Kylo will either die or redeem himself. That's it -- boring.
It’s been rumored there will be another trilogy after this one, that has zero to do with the skywalkers. Disney is just using Star Wars as a cash cow and will oversaturate this series within five years.
8-Bit Eric I think they are going to use and expand on the “old republic”
It's not a rumour it's already been announced there's another trilogy with Rian Johnson at the helm
its not a rumour they have green lit it
did you expect anything less? they did it before and will do it again thats why I hate disney
Not a rumour mate they announced that shit already so hide yo wallet and hide yo kids
Not only has Star Wars jump the shark it has jumped the megalodon.
How is it possible that Luke Skywalker saw good in Darth Vader and refused to kill him in the midst of battle but lost hope in his nephew who wasnt even on the dark side yet and planned to murder him in his sleep?...wtf
Skywalker family trait? His father turned to the dark side to protect the one he loved. Luke was tempted to do it to protect his students?
Listening to you guys talk about star wars is fantastic, you should consider reviewing the old movies and uploading them in a podcast style like this.
TDG Manga The Chodecast should come back
Watching Jar-Jar poop in a jar for 2.5 hours would have made more sense than the storyline in this movie.
They even added the schwartz ring at the end of the film
haha that thing looked like it came out of a cereal box
billy said it best “i dont care what happens...”
this movie is aweful, completely character assassinated luke.
what a time to be alive when the prequels arent the worst star wars movies
Totally agree. I hated the cranky old curmudgeon Luke that we have in this film. At first I figured that it was ok, since he went into exile after feeling responsible for Ben Solo's turn to the dark side. But after repeatedly telling Rey to "go away" and just not giving a shit, I thought it got old quick. And when we first see him, he throws the damn lightsaber over his shoulder and off of a cliff. The most cherished, iconic tool of a Jedi master... just thrown away like a piece of garbage. For what? A cheap laugh from the audience?? Ugh
I've been thinking about everything lately and I think certain things in this movie should have been more explained I believe that luke found a way to go out like obi maybe when Darth killed obi he died same way I mean he disappeared just a thought maybe snoke was a puppet and not this big bad villain we've been waiting for and something bigger was controlling him as for Rey her parents probably were what were said possibly there adoptive and she was related to someone from a jedi who kept quite do I believe this is a bad movie no do I believe this a good movie eh just entertaining I do believe this will be a good sequel once we see the next
Thank God you guys have the sense to see this movie for what it was. A steaming hot pile of shite that only had twists for the sake of twists.
The theme was failure. Everyone fails in this film. Including the director.
You guys completely hit the mark! I feel that TPM had a better story and even execution than whatever this movie was. It gutted the whole meaning of the previous films and I honestly feel betrayed.
As a side note I don’t even think there was a “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” line in the movie!
Definitely was not
GamesTrippinRobo it absolutely did NOT and its blasphemy!!
Sorry, but the director said... BB-8 drop that line. Yes.
Idk if it matters but the Jedi scribes wasn’t in the tree when yoda blew it up If you notice at the end of the movie somebody opens the cabinet in the millennium falcon they were in that cabinet idk if it hold merit for future movies but it’s something I noticed
This movie makes me appreciate Episodes I and II a lot more now. I didn't like The Force Awakens, and I for sure hated this one.
Yeah I know 7 and 8 sucked.
martin hill 7 sucked. Saying 8 sucked is giving it way too much credit
slick s hahaha😂
The Empire strikes back > A New Hope > Return of the Jedi > Revenge of the Sith > Attack of the Clones > Phantom Menace
Predicting a big time jump between episode 8 and 9 by the way.
Pretty much. Especially with the ending
I hope so, to be honest. This was... yeah, this was a 2 hour and 33 minute movie. That's all I can really say about it.
Definitly
Thats the only way they could save it other wise The Star Wars i grew up with is completly dead 😢
5 years minimum
That Leia scene was just bad hahaha
Finally a REAL review. Thanks guys for the refreshing video. I know you are right about those people that get invited to the premiere in order to give rave reviews.
The prequels were better than 8. Not even trolling.
Episode 3 is still in my top 3 favorites, I was hooked every second of that film, the Palpatine scene with Anakin in the opera house is still one of the most chilling scenes in the saga (IMO), The Last Jedi just felt all over the place
It must be horrible! I hate the prequels with a passion! I tried watching them multiple times and I cannot finish them. The acting is god awful, too much cgi and they flat out just suck! I don't know how anyone can support or like the prequels.
The prequals are endearing and Lucas made them, sure they had goofy stuff, but they're not that bad.
Episode 2 was a fucking disgrace. The other two aren't bad.
that is bit a stretch if want to say 3 in good i won't argue with that a lot people say that is better than jedi which don't agree.
Dislikes:
- The entire casino sideplot - Waste of time
- The mutiny could have been prevented if that lady just told Poe what her plan was
- The stupid Marvel humor
- Why did Luke tell Rey to leave him alone if he hid a map to his location?
- The cliche and bad forced relationship between Finn and Rose - Her saving him sucked
- Plot holes and things ignored from The Force Awakens
- Leia floating through space
Likes:
- Yoda's return
- Kylo Ren and Rey fighting all those guards (best part of the movie)
- Luke kicking ass at the end
- Adam Driver's performance in general was awesome
Both of the Ewok movies were better than Last Jedi.
You guys missed the biggest reveal... We now know where blue milk comes from.
Admiral Piett should get his own movie. That Mutha F*cha is a LEGEND!!!
-You guys nailed it. A review discussion with good negative critique! You guys remind me of me and my two friends who saw the movie. We looked at each other after the movie ended and thought what the fuck did we watch?
Will there be spoilers? Jokes aside, I think the problem with these movies is that they are pumping them out frequently. Each year we are getting a Star Wars movie only to meet a specific deadline just put out a product out there .
Call of Duty?! Fifa(any Sports title)?! Battlefield?! Need for Speed?! Star Wars?!
Well... maby this are all linked together somehow?!
I’m so glad there’s people that see how much of a cash grab these all are.
That Finn and Rose part was dumb. That code breaker they meet in jail was dumb. Why didn't that fucker just leave if he could easily break out of the jail. Why would he be chilling there. Jail is not enjoyable.
Flying Leia OMFG! And Luke milking that beach cow for blue milk... going to a casino and get a friging parking ticket!!!
If Yoda had said 'Talk to the hand girlfriend!' to Luke, it wouldn't have felt out o place with all the throw away comedy in this film which spoilt anything approaching a meaningful moment.
I said the same thing to my wife as we walked out of theater, that Billy said "I don't care what happens next." And that's why I didn't even bother to see Solo. I saw Force Awakens 4-times and Rogue One 4-times, Last Jedi 1-time ... Last Jedi destroyed the starwars universe fandom.
Yeah I agree with you guys.....but please get Dodongo to review it lol
Worst thing about the film in my opinion was the final shot.
The last shot of just about every Star Wars film is iconic, memorable, and always swells with dramatic music.
Last shot of this film was deflating, unrelated to everything that's come before, and utterly cornball.
The movie would have been fifty percent better if Captain Phasma had infiltrated the Resistance as herself. The resistance doesn't know what she looks like underneath the mask, but the audience does and it would have been a great opportunity to do some interesting things. OH WELL.
Can remember seeing this video 2 years ago just after Episode 8 and agreed with you all. Revisited now in the lead up to Episode 9 and not holding out much hope.
For me, no hope at all anymore.
I’d love to hear your opinions on the kid with the broom at the end? wouldn’t even be surprised at this point if episode 9 is forward in time and he’s now a teenager or something
that is Billy unborn son lol
I thought I was going to be alone hating this movie it is bad
I love how you guys were honest.
21:48 Leia gave up her Jedi training with Luke to become a Republic senator, the visual dictionary of The Last Jedi confirms it. She never completed her training.
The Last Jedi is a movie about failure. It’s a movie about realizing you are not that good at something, that you believed, or were told, you are. It’s movie that makes you check your own your own ego. It’s a movie about realizing your own limitations and moving forward with the future and moving on from your mistakes.
It was kind of ironic to seem them complain about the old jedi books being destroyed. Just like Luke they had expectations and ideas of what was important.
Ryan Walters The movie IS a failure
Funny thing the books weren't destroyed they are on the goddamn ship. So that was for nothing.
I had almost the same conversation after the screening. I agree, dropped the ball and I have no anticipation for any of them moving forward.
Thank you for the honest review guys
I left disappointed, and I didn't watch any promotional material. Lots of cool things in this movie, but it I didn't leave me wanting to see what happens next like the other Star Wars films did. I think I was just watching Star Wars for Luke, and everything about the Skywalkers. Now that Skywalkers don't matter in Star Wars I have lost the majority of my interest in it.
great point, prior to watching y'all I had no Game Chasing skills, now I am on fire
21:10 The books weren't entirely meaningless. At the end when Finn grabs the blanket for Rose, you can see the books in the drawer, implying Rey steals the books before she leaves the island.
But I think the people who are praising the movie didn't watch it as part of the Star Wars saga. They watched a movie, were entertained, and are never going to think about it again, not caring about the overall continuity. And that's how I'm going to go into a second viewing, not trying to nitpick but just to see if it's an entertaining movie.
I have a theory about "Leia Poppins" that nobody has mentioned yet.
Kylo was going to shoot Leia inside the cockpit, but held himself back to spare her, but then some tie pilots shot instead. When she was freezing in space and was looking back at the ship, she didn't use the force, but it was Kylo saving her life instead, since he actually has the force to do it and didn't want his mom dead.
Also this movie was about setting the stage for the new era of heroes and villains. Rey will rebuild a new version of the Jedi Order just as Kylo will rebuild the Sith in a new way. Heck even though the Jedi books survived it wasn’t the failed hero Luke that destroyed them but the wisest Jedi we have yet to encounter, Yoda. Even though I think he knew the books were safe. Yoda built a weapon to defeat the Palpatine and Vader, not one to rebuild the order that he saw die. The old ways failed Luke at the academy and Snoke with his apprentice which is why the move was to the new generation. The old ways to fight the wars failed not the Resistance and the First Order some thing new will emerge which is symbolized by the young boy at the end and the joy the survivors on the Falcon had. Not a bad Star Wars movie a new type of Star Wars movie.
well said.
I was also bummed about the last Jedi. The saddest thing that’s not in the movie was Mark Hamill being bummed about how Luke was portrayed.
Haven't seen the movie yet but I'm calling it..-Rey is related to Darth Sidious. Also, she speaks with the same kind of accent as Sidious. Luke talks about how "he's seen this kind of raw strength before, and it didn't scare him enough back then... but it does now." Snoke says: "When I found you I saw raw untamed power, and beyond that, something truly special". Also, isn't it a little bit ominous when Ray takes a hold of Kylo Ren's Sith light-sabre. -(It gave me chills to see that). Snoke: "Fulfill your destiny.." My theory is all based on the trailers Ive seen. Luke: "THIS IS NOT GOING TO GO THE WAY YOU THINK". -Very cryptic, don't you think??
Question: So when Fin grabbed the blanket for Rose, were those the books stored in the tree that Yoda burned down? Because that is the impression I got from it. That she took the books and now has them.
As for the movie itself, it was an action movie that lasted 2 hours and 33 minutes. That's about all I can say about it without ranting and I really don't think it deserves and rant.
Had some really high highs, but a lot of really low lows. Really hope they can fix this somehow.
0:37 Anger! LMFAO that's exactly how I felt walking out the door
Great video!! Even better that Wood wasn't in the video lol
*fart* all that needs to be said about this film
Here in Finland we had it subtitled and in the beginning Poe was asking Hugs not Hux so I think it works better when you think it that way.
luke didnt die he became the prime jedi and can continue to project himself as a solid being. this is why he has been so important to the force and all its prophecies all along. also snoke cloned him from his missing hand and will enter his new body as a dark luke. and we will witness the most epic movie of all time in the conclusion
You guys are 100% right.
That close up shot was exactly that, to make sure you could clearly see he was dead.
Episode VIII: The Pointless Adventures of Finn and Rose. Move over Jar Jar, you’ve been replaced by a Rose.
All I could think of was why don't they aim a bunch of rebel ships at the imperial ships and jump into light speed. That will save a lot of lives..Please let me know if that's a good strategy
I really liked Luke's story in this movie. He created a legend for people to believe in and through retellings of this stand-off will bring faith back into the Republic which has been dismishing.
I mean, this movie didn't need to do anything to move 1-6 forward, but, it doesn't even move forward what 7 tried to start. That's a major problem with this film.
Both the Empire, and the Jedi sought to control. The Jedi claimed to want balance, but used their power in attempt to have the Light Side of the Force overpower the Dark Side. The Empire wanted to control EVERYTHING, and rule by using the Dark Side of the Force. The FORCE is a natural presence in the Universe that was never meant to be used as a "tool" (as Hydrazor put it) The Force is meant to just... BE. It is instinctively trying to BALANCE itself, while others try to use it to support their SIDE. Which is why the Force AWOKE inside of multiple people all over the Universe, it needs to be BALANCED. It is giving these individuals power in hope that it can finally be brought to balance. The Prequels showed the Empire come to power, and the Dark Side take control. The Original Trilogy showed the Resistance triumph, and the Light Side take control. NEITHER ended in BALANCE. This Trilogy is the Force finally coming to BALANCE, and ending the cycle of Good vs Evil. THAT is why Yoda attempted to burn the books. He knows that the old Jedi ways are WRONG, and for Balance to truly exist, they must leave their old beliefs in the past. THAT is why the Force has come to "Nobodies" like Rey. Because every time you have Legends like Luke, or Supreme Leaders like Snoke, SOMEONE will always try to win, and overtake the other for control, meaning Balance can never be achieved.
xXReconMalfunctionXx stupid theory that turns every movie into shit.
This is what this trilogy is about . Balance. When Kylo and Rey fought together they were in perfect harmony.
Just wow spot on you are truly enlightened my friend😊
Your dumb
Chris Gagnon you're* genius .
We wait like 35 years to see how bad ass Luke has become and all we see is him crying around like he did in episode 4 . Projecting himself during the fight was cool but he is a Jedi master , he should have displayed some awesome powers . The Luke that we built up in our minds since we were kids was absent from this movie and then he just " poofs " away .
@gamechasers on a serious note..Do you think the unexplained Knights of Ren Story will be the Crutch, For the New Saga ??
I can understand a super-fan review like this and enjoyed what yall had to say. But as someone that's seen the original trilogy 1000 times and grew up with it, but never became a huge fan, this was a perfect nostalgia film. The way Luke passed on actually brought tears to my eyes just out of nostalgia of all the times I saw the originals. So on my end I'm happy with the "reboot" style and hope it ends here. Cheers guys!
"Snoke says: 'I connected you two'. Well, they did it again after he was dead. Who did it then?" Bad storytelling did it.
Do you think it is the fact that we have just built Star Wars up so much we expect too much? I am starting to think so. Too much comedy though.
@@trollhunter6421 un-met expectations. Something we've all had to deal with in life.
Oh my god lads so true ! My description of the last Jedi was going out for a good meal and ending up with a stomach ache shocking !!
Love ya fam....saved me money
I agree with the stuff you guys were saying. The one part I did find amazing was the ship going to light speed into Snokes ship. (I also dont think Snoke is dead, I think he was pulling the same trick as Luke)
11:58 - I hope you guys already realize that there is another trilogy on the way after episode 9. Disney has given the director of Last Jedi, Rian Johnson the control over the next trilogy.
Not anymore haha.
Jar jar is dreaming the whole thing up
Not sure why so many hating it. Other than nitpicking it? Sure, it won't live up to my two favorite Star Wars (Episode IV and Empire Strikes Back). But there was some good parts to it. Some complain it was too funny compared to others! We were waiting to reveal who Rey is (Luke's Skywalker's daughter was a guess!) Christopher Lloyd once said: Sequels is much harder to do cause so many people want to go in different directions and other ideas. Nothing gets criticized or looked more low than sequels." Or words to that effect. Would anyone agree the highlight at the movie was the end when Luke came back to fight Kylo Ren with a different look that earlier in the movie? Some things were off the wall: Leia floating to a ship and the weird creatures on the Millineum Falcon with Chewie! Even the way Luke died was so strange (add your own adjective here!) I won't put this completely down, but I won't say it was among Top 25 movies ever saw Either!
I'm not a Star wars fan but, the way I saw it was Luke didn't die because he overexerted himself helping everyone, he fulfilled his destiny and then he ascended.
What i think of Anakin being the chosen one to bring balance to the force... The long haired guy said stuff about bringing the balance as he thinks the force is completely out of balance now, and i interpret it totally different:
First off, what we know of the force we learned from jedi. In the first trilogy there were lots of jedi, lots of jedi training etc, but we didn't know of any person (besides anakin) who had help from the force (like the blind asian in rogue one). This tells me that the force is completely unbalanced in favor to light. every jedi is training their force skills in favor of light also. But then there's some profecy about a chosen one who will bring balance to the force. AND HE DID! Anakin brought back the balance leaving very few jedi and gaining the power the survivor jedi had, and he became darth vader. in the old trilogy yoda and obiwan are alive, and they are very powerful, and so are the emperor and vader balancing the power. In the new trilogy the emo guy vader wannabe trains super hard so he can stop a laser from a gun but he sees his ass kicked when he fights rei. why? because the force is nerfing the emo guy and boufing rei. the force at this point can balance itself, and it chose rei as a counterpart to the emo guy. this means that no matter how hard the emo guy trains, rei is going to gain power acordingly also. Also remember that in the new trilogy the most powerful bad guy is alive, and so is skywalker, but in this movie they both die, balancing the force again.
And yet another thing: in the first movie yoda says "it is how it always means to be: One master, and one padawan." but yoda and the jedi interpreted this wrong again. I get that this is a force stuff where there can only be one master and one padawan IN EACH SIDE, but it was, yet again, misinterpreted by the jedi.
So yes: the first three episodes were about the force regaining it's balance.
Also, i think you missed some part. In the ship, when someone opens a drawer to take something (sorry, i don't remember very well) we slightly see the books that were in the jedi temple. appearently rei took them before the cave exploded. So what i assume the third new movie is going to be about is the jedi accepting the dark side as a natural counterpart, the creation of two new padawans, one for each side, and finally revealing what the original jedi writings told us about the force.
Nope, they aren't going to explain anything in Episode IX about how Rey is so powerful. Why? Because Rian Johnson actually said that in the alternate ending of The Last Jedi, Rey is actually a clone of an ancient, powerful Force user. Her official lineage is that she is a nobody. Just like Snoke, if both characters are nothing, then they ADD nothing to the over all story. I guess some people like Chris Stuckmann like it when dull, boring, pointless plot twist give nothing to the plot.
Finally, "Spaceballs the sequel"
Great review !
if only gamechasers directed the starwars movies.. crazy how spot on billy was when melvor asked him for his predictions.
One thing to consider is that both the rebellion and first order are on equal playing fields. The order lost its leader and now you have to guys striving for power. The rebellion is without allies. It answered a lot. Rey didn't need to be linked to anyone to have importance in fact I think this helps her character by not having some oh shit moment. She has the Jedi text. Really I look at it as a movie about struggle. Struggle to do what is right. Struggle in admitting your wrongs. A struggle to know when you let someone down and over coming the dark in all our hearts. Snok didn't need to have a grand story just like Palpatine his pride got him. I don't think he linked them in talking just saw what they were doing when he read reys mind and used it to his advantage. His pride was his downfall. There's a lot to take away from this film other than what is presented at face value. If you look at just that than yeah sure it's crap but when you start thinking about what's going on underneath it becomes a better story.
Perfect analysis. I left the movie thinking “in a traditional Star Wars film, the events of this entire film would have been summarized in the 1st few sentences of the opening crawl for the real episode 8.” Things happened, but they were all meaningless! Why not just skip over it and say “After the destruction of starkiller base, the first order has all but crushed the resistance. Kylo Ren has killed Snoke and taken control of the first order while Rey continues her training with Luke Skywalker.” Boom! Ep 8 in 2 sentences! The sad thing is, you now also know everything you need to know from a 2.5 hour movie!
This movie is like Spider-Man: One More Day.
on a positive note I received my blue-ray today cant wait to watch this weekend. btw thx for the sw review I always look at it like this as a fan even if the movie is lame just the fact that we got another movie is pretty cool and we are always going to have the highest expectations thanks again guys.
There´s something thats bug me a lot,... what a hell happened to luke that made him to changed his personality completely? And his nephew shit it´s not enough to make that change,... it´s just bad wrinting.
Could balance mean that there are always good and bad? I mean if there is peace wouldn't that mean good has weight over the bad?
Why is the lack of backstory for these new characters one of the main reasons you all disliked it so much? Sure, you had your hopes up that Rey had some Jedi relative or something like that, but the whole purpose of a new trilogy is to introduce a story formed around new characters. Snoke was a character created to push Kylos motivations forward, simple as that. He doesn't need backstory and a big jarring twist to his character for it to be good. If you're struggling to find aspects to look forward to in the upcoming movie then I believe you missed the point of what it was this movie was trying to establish.
I agree. why does a dumb prophecy george lucas thought up in the prequels matter? why does any of snoke's motivation matter (hes evil, thats all that matters). Why do Rey's parents matter? The guys had way too many expectations and questions going in.
Because we aren't as shallow as you are and like some substance to our plot lines. Not "Oh he's just evil".
This was a great movie. People complain if a movie is too similar and people complain if a movie is too different. Episode 7 was a soft reboot for this new trilogy and it imitated 4 to remind fans of what they like and to not leave new watchers confused. People are just mad that their fan-fic they had in their head before watching the movie didn't happen is all. Rey is trained with a staff already, it's not much extra skill or different from sword or saber.
Maybe Rey will be the first person to walk the line between the light and dark and actually balance the force by not being a Jedi or a Sith.
I don't disagree with everything that you guys are saying. But, with regard to the reveal about Reys parents. Wouldn't them having been special have been rehashing Empire yet again. I was actually glad they didn't go that route. I understand the disappointment with the plot but I thought the character work was good.
I came out of the cinema looking and feeling exactly like Billy!
