I actually liked The Last Jedi but I do think a lot of the conflict of the movie could have been resolved if the Admiral just told Poe what her plan was.

My reception was more negative than I'd like it to be.

I just don't understand the hatred for this movie. Its pretty ridiculous. I'm not even sure what the 'joined' hatred is anymore. It started with "ITS NOTHING LIKE STAR WARS! THIS ISN'T STAR WARS AND LUKE WAS NOT LIKE THAT WHEN I SAW HIM LAST!" and now its "ITS TOO MUCH LIKE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK! WHY CAN'T THEY DO ANYTHING DIFFERENT?!"

It must be one of those "I'm going in with negative thoughts" kind of thing...

But even Mark Hamill says that Luke Skywalker was handled all wrong.

He realized he was being a dick about it and apologized but still feels that way.

Personally I don't think he was handled wrong but his backstory is out of character (like...why was the Dark Side so tempting to him at that moment, when has that EVER been a thing for Luke?). Everything that happened in the present made perfect sense with the context of his character (a jaded, old man who is sick of his own hype and just wants to die the miserable death he resigned himself to).

I've personally never seen any complaints for it being "too mich like empire". Most of the hate I've seen comes from the change in directors for this one movie, as well as Rian Johnson making poor creative choices.

Its weird but I actually saw the comments on that recently and even twisted my head to the side. I get there being some callbacks but...I'm not sure if they were trying to keep the rage going or not. The weeks and months after were filled with rage.

I keep hearing back and forth from Hamill. At first he agreed with the negative comments but after some time, feels differently and then I see posts where he doesn't feel differently. Its stuff like that which I have trust issues because I see the same for Deadpool 2 and Aquaman. One moment, its "major fail" and then "movie's good". I'm really not liking the internet right now. Also, Luke CAN change. its easy to become jaded with time...after all, when i was a young lad, I was innocent and I wanted to save the world. As i got older and realized the horrid of people, well, the days get worse for me.

I can see Luke being tricked into pulling a lightsaber on Kylo for a split second. Fear does a lot to someone. Unless we get a lot of story on Luke's life as a jedi, I don't think he has had much experience AS a Jedi since he's reading old text and relying on himself for the most part. Like, does Yoda's spirit come back to help train him after RotJ?

JUST fucking light speed ram any super weapon from now on. Judging by its power, light speed running into a planet might actually destroy it too.

Who needs the fucking time and money to build a star destroyer anymore.

And now they can track you through hyper jump.

It wasn't the best SW movie, probably the weakest of the Disney movies imo. That said I still enjoyed it, it falls under the average SW movie vibe of some great highs and some lows.

Eh, not the most offensive thing ever.

I thought that she'd be dead, though. One of those "OH GOD, YOU DIDN'T" things.

I love how OT fanboys love to bitch about the Canto Bight sidestory in TLJ, but endlessly praise Rogue One.

They're both mostly inconsequential sidestories, but at least the Finn/Rose one was contained to like 15 minutes.

He almost fell to the dark side in RotJ, and didn't do to well in the cave in ESB.

She is wearing a jumpsuit that makes her look bigger. She looks much more different in real life. I imagine in Episode IX she will have a different hairstyle too.

Still a good movie.

That implies he was insufficiently informed of the power of the Dark Side.

Which...I guess could be a fair assessment.

Eh, Luke faced his challenge against the temptation of the Dark Side in both ESB and RotJ but conquered it in the end.
I dont have a problem with Luke being a hermit and understanding that the legend of Luke is more powerful than the man himself. He faced a ton of pressure with continuing the Jedi line. Seeing it all get destroyed and seeing the galaxy crumble all over again could break just about anyone.
However, my complaint about Luke is when he thought about killing his own nephew in his sleep. He was willing to face the two most evil men in the entire galaxy and redeem his father just because he sensed an ounce of light in Vader, but he senses an ounce of dark in Kylo and freaks out? Luke already conquered his fear in RotJ.
Also, if Yoda apparently has no time limit on how long he can be a ghost, why didn't he help guide Kylo?

I'm glad you got passed the flashy visuals and can see it for what it is.
