The story writing for TLJ was bad, sure some people may like it (which still puzzles me), but overall it was terrible, in fact complete garbage. [details=Spoiler]The character development was lacking…
Snoke went from this complete Badass, with a huge potential story and momentum build up to only getting jobbed far worse than what happened to Necalli in the SF:V storyline. What a way to kill the biggest villain potential of the Post-Darth Sidious Era.
General Ackbar who was a side character favorite, was demoted to a death which literally had NO Emotion behind it. Guy was a central part of the destruction of the Empire with Lando, and he conveniently gets blown out into space with only a line of “Gen. Ackbar is gone.” Yeah, you’re “awesome” Disney.
Disney literally taking all the efforts, love of what happened in Ep. 4, 5, & 6 rolling it up into a ball and throwing it into the trash bin.
Apparently the “Rebel” forces didn’t change anything after ROTJ, in fact their situation is FAR Worse than where they were at during Episode 4 A New Hope. This is all barring that the entire Galaxy had returned back into the Republic for the past 30+ years, however hey, let’s not listen to logic here.
Rey literally being the most OP “Jedi” ever considering she has had practically no training, but is magically able to overcome once again Kylo and Luke…I mean Luke Skywalker. Let that sink in. You know, she beat Luke Skywalker? The man who trained Under Obiwan Kenobi, And Yoda. She defeated Luke Skywalker, the man who defeated Darth Vader in combat in probably his first loss since arguably when Kenobi defeated him (I’m using only movie references), but instead of killing his own father, he retained being a Jedi, which allowed Vader to become Anakin Skywalker once again to overthrow the Emperor.
This girl…who if you seriously count the days, is probably what? A weeks worth of or maybe a little bit more of thinking the Jedi were a myth to figuring out they were real, and with NO REAL LEGITIMATE TRAINING, she defeats a Jedi Master in Luke Skywalker whose been training for 30+ years?!
GTFO Disney!
It seems the writers of the new Star Wars movie must’ve been watching John Cena during the mid-2000s in the WWE when he was Super Cena and couldn’t lose a match and felt that Rey had to be an equal equivalent to this. Not only that, but she also fought better than Kylo Ren up against Snokes Elite Guards…
Speaking of Super…Leia going Superman and surviving the explosion and space!!! How in the world?! Leia had absolutely No Jedi training (nothing confirmed!) that we know of, and she’s doing a feat that even individuals to the likes of Yoda, prime Mace, prime Obiwan etc, etc have never been shown doing. She somehow is still alive, and brings herself back to the ship.
Not to mention opening the door to get to her would’ve decompressed the room, sucking everyone out into space…heck space vaccum and logic no longer applies with Star Wars anymore (just think of the bombing sequence at the beginning with the Asian girl who could still breath even the the bombing doors were open, all the while the bombs “dropped” like as though their was gravity).
Finn and Rose going to the “Casino” place to show some equality nonsense and then 'freeing animals" for some activist crap, with one of the worst lines ever when taking the saddle off the animal “Now it’s worth it.”
Yes, so worth it that you forgot the ENTIRE reason why you were there in the first place? Weren’t you supposed to look for someone, because you know…the Rebels are on the verge of getting completely wiped out but hey…Freeing Animals that would eventually get caught probably within the next 2 hours made that trip completely worth the time and value.
That entire event felt completely pointless with promotions of some sort of vegan bs propaganda and that all rich people are somehow corrupted. Not to mention Rose admitting she “loved” Finn was the biggest WTF, cringe worthy moment in the movie. It seems Hollywood still doesn’t want an Interracial relationship of white woman + (insert another race) so they’re going to throw this fat asian chick to Finn…gtfo.
Laura Derns character (forgot her name in the movie) decides to not tell Po what she has planned, and because of that, he decides to a bogus and ridiculous plan to a Finn whom he’s known but to an unknown chick who just spends her days looking at “pipes.” but hey, whatever. People bash Po for doing absurd things, however when your Commander in charge doesn’t give you one Damn Good reasoning to her plan, and you feel that all she’s doing is prolonging the inevitable destruction of everyone, you’re going to do drastic things.
Their would have been NO Mutiny, had you just told Po and others your damn plan. Would’ve save A LOT of lives, not to mention you didn’t have “ANY” Robots who could pilot the other ships to destruction which could’ve limited peoples lives who stayed on those cargo ships to simply die?
Speaking of the Rebels…they transmit a call for help, but apparently, 30 years of peace in a world where the remembrance of the Evil Empire would’ve still been very BURNED into their Memories somehow can’t find “anyone” to come and help them.
That’s like 30 years after World War II, and remnants of the Nazi regime come back, and NOBODY on our Planet is willing to come and help defeat them…Okay…once again, logic doesn’t apply. We’re supposed to just “agree” with this bs.
Screw the Death Star…Light Speed Ramming is the New OP Attack in the SW universe now. Not doing this with the other cargo ships, but waiting until half of the Rebels were wiped out before conceiving of doing that.
The First Order can build a Super Planet Destroyer but don’t have the “means” to take out shields from a significantly smaller vessel because they’re “outside of their range” garbage, nor failed to remember that hey small fighters which would’ve bombarded and severely weakened the “Rebels.”
Seriously, where did the First Order get the funding to “secretly” create so many gigantic, crazy and absurd things without the 30 year returned Republic not knowing a single thing about it? As I said, logic doesn’t convey anything in this movie.
Kylo getting jobbed so many times has taken away his thunder, no longer making him a credible threat. That’s like having M. Bison showing up in the Street Fighter Storyline and having him get OCVED by Dan.
Why was Vader a Badass compared to Kylo? Because he didn’t LOSE a fight until Return of the Jedi, against a realistically more seasoned Luke Skywalker who was not only physically but now mentally the most ready he could be at the time to challenge Vader. All the while Vader was choking, putting fear and wrecking people in the first two movies literally for free, while wielding one handed with his light saber to stomp Luke in Empire.
Making Kylo turn and uniting with Rey was BADASS…then having him doing a 180 turn instantly was the biggest erection to soft that I saw within the movie.
The pushing of Feminism could not be more apparent. All the women were in positions of power and redeemers while the men were either scum, morons and lead astray.
Luke Skywalkers character in TLJ…wtf. You’re telling me you completely overcame the Badass of your father, overcame your fears, and was always the most positive driven individual of the original SW movie only to completely fall away into despair and hopelessness in a situation that was nowhere near as dire as that of your father?
This was one of the most disrespectful ways of treating one of the most Iconic and beloved Movie Heroes of all time. Luke had overcome the greatest trial of them all which was his own father along with the Emperor, and because of that ascended to knew heights, wisdom and patience, and you threw his character and all that he continued to stand for under the bus. This is NOT how Luke would’ve acted. In TFA, you see Luke seeing his Lightsaber and having extreme emotions with red eyes and almost tears.
Then you get to The Last Jedi and he chucks his family lightsaber away…??? What?!
He also builds a secretive map in TFA with the build up of “If you need, you can still find me.” but in TLJ, he’s like “I didn’t want to be found.” “I simply came here to die.” Not only that, but he’s 1000% out of character, wanting to kill Kylo just simply because he “saw” something in the future? Luke should’ve LEARNED this lesson already, when he prematurely went to try and “save” Han, Leia and Chewy in Empire Strikes Back in which he did basically nothing, fell into a trap and lost his right hand for it.
Absolute Trash, since Luke was Never Ever someone who would wield his light saber so indiscriminately, even in Empires when the Wampa basically smashed him and was going to basically eat him, and he Still didn’t kill the thing, and this is Luke who isn’t Pre-Yoda trained mind you.
However, hey, Luke is shown milking a giant sea cow creature, and drinking from it’s nasty titties right? Then you have Luke Skywalker dying in the most uneventful and unemotional way…as a bum who was supposedly “too weak” (even though he was the key reason for the downfall of the Emperor and the redemption of Vader!) to continue onward.
I usually try not to cuss but…Disney, you’re an absolute piece of shit.
No wonder Hamill stated he did not like the Luke in TLJ and stated it was a far too different from the Luke whom had overcome the Dark Side, brought his father back into redemption and became the man he was in ROTJ.
This Star Wars movie was an absolute travesty, and a complete disrespectful installment of what had been so hard to build up in Episodes 4, 5, and 6 to be utterly all destroyed within this single movie. It was such a horrible experience, that I would never watch this Star Wars movie again, and as crazy as it sounds, it’s actually made me appreciate the Prequels A LOT More.
Sure Lucas during the Prequels may have made too much CGI bs, made scenes, parts cringe worthy, with some terrible, terrible acting. BUT, at least the story still made sense, it felt like a Star Wars movie and the Light Saber fights were spectacular with proper reasons to who would win and lose!
In The Last Jedi, we had so many build ups from TFA that lead to absolutely Nothing, Nothing! All the while they enforced so much of the Nihilism trash into this movie, when things involving the Jedi and all things, even the Dark Side are so Spiritually Driven!
As I said, Disney must’ve paid off the Big Critics to put up that fake 93% rating, seriously…TLJ has a higher rating than a Legendary Movie like LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring, let that sink in folks.
I’m done with you Disney on Star Wars. Unless you make is so that Luke Skywalker can come back and cheat death, and do an entire plot change so amazing and dramatic for Episode 9, I won’t support this anymore, you destroyed what George Lucas had built in lore for decades upon decades, with the greatest of love.
Then you threw it all into the wayside simply because you wanted to make your “own” Star Wars to derive from his own works.
You castrated Lucas approach of the Force (which was derived from multiple religions and myths), you removed the spirituality from it, you destroyed beloved characters without any good reason all so you could bring in your own new characters to try and hopefully make them “better.”
The Nihilism shit is stupid, Stupid! In Star Wars movie where Spirituality is so rooted upon the good and the bad. One of the biggest reasons why The Empire Strikes Back is so Amazing is that when you look back and watch the Making of Empire, you’ll hear the Director Irvin Kershner state that in Empire “I had to reach deeper into Luke, I had to reach into his Soul.” Notice how he stated Soul to Luke Skywalker, not promoting Nihilism but Soul, meaning something that is beyond what we as human beings can physically see.
By emphasizing this, is WHY we had such a powerful and beautiful movie in Empire Strikes back, and not just with Luke Skywalker, but the rest of the cast. By promoting “Nothingness” you’ve basically devoided the very human trait in these characters because you claim it’ll ultimately lead to Nothing.
I once loved your animated movies from the Renaissance Era of the late 80s going into the 90s Disney, because why? They had Soul into it, and you knew how to make Animated Features, not to mention it didn’t feel like it was all about making money, but more about just simply trying to make a masterpiece regardless of the outcome.
That however is the Exact opposite of how Star Wars The Last Jedi was treated.
You’re the Evil Empire now Disney, because just like Darth Sidious during Order 66, you’re destroying all of the old and beautiful to try and remove it’s relevance from existence while forcing what you believe is the better symbolism by which it stands for.
So Go Fuck Yourself Disney, I hope your Empire Falls.
Anyone who claims this movie was “good”, all I can say is this…
Fallen to the Darkside you have.

There’s so much more to write, but it’s late, erm, early morning and I’m tired.
Yep, I’m on the ship of the story was pretty crap train.
