Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi.Spoilers/Discussion/Speculation

[StargateMillennium]

Even among the people who saw it, it seemed the general consensus was it was neither good nor bad, it was just meh.

It's not just that Luke a downtrodden grump. It's that it wasn't justified. Luke throwing his lightsaber over his shoulder is my favorite part of the movie. I went in not really caring and the moment that happened I went to the edge of my seat since it was clear something when awry for him and I wanted to know what. But the explanation given does not match his character.

Then you got things like an incompetent Holdo replacing the fan favorite Akbar for how Finn's story's arc slammed head first into a wall.

I'm not sure about the tales of the boycott. I'm not convinced but I feel it is a possibility. I completely don't buy it being movie fatigue though.

I said it before and I'll say it again. It's the subversion porn. Being subversive for the sake of subversiveness with no payoff to plot points from TFA or the same film takes away from the impact of a good subversion. And that pointless plot line included all the minority actors too..so there's that. At least for me.

I'm decided to poke around this thread for the heck of it. Am I the only one who didn't like this movie? I mean, I would put it Uwe Boll quality with triple A special effects on it. Just saw it again recently and it was even worse than I remembered it to be.

I didn't like it at all. Seems like the movie just ignored most of what went on in the Force Awakens and did it's own thing, leaving nothing for the next movie to look forward to. It was a pretty movie with no substance.
