Right late to the party thanks to life but as per the above really.
I know where Disney are trying to come from,trying to make it new for the next generation but so much of this and the Force Awakens just feels like copy paste from the first 6 films.
Force awakens ?< well this felt like an old pair of slippers just enough for those who loved 4-5-6 and just enough to grab the attention of new Star wars watchers. The last Jedi for me was more of the same felt like a poor Empire with almost the same references, a lost cause ,a mentoring Jedi master (Luke not Yoda). The opening escape ok old B wing type bombers not a big giant boob nipple gun.Trying to out run star destroyers and being caught out by a Del toro akin to being caught out by Boba Fett…
There were some ok bits ..the fight scene after Snokes momentary lapse in force ability not to here the saber turning and getting kebab-ed.
The light jump was quite good. As was Luke force projection ending at Echo base/ New same ice planet with magic flying rocks hmmm…
Lukes X wing under the water was a nice touch.
After that im almost at a loss to find good in the film.The whole floating in space Mary Poppins scene had me cringing as did the casino and space donkey escape. No Snoke back story who where why ? I really wanted it to be as dark as Empire but sadly some iffy one liners and BB8 cuddles spoiled it. Empire was one of my all time favorite films and the Rouge One came along and topped it , I had high hopes for The last Jedi, which is a shame really.
Struggling to give it a 5 out of 10 maybe a second watch on dvd in 6 months time might make me have a change of heart.. and thats only really for Mark Hamill’s acting.
