They assassinated Luke's character so much in this movie. He defeated 2 of the most powerful force users in the galaxy 2v1 and saved the galaxy, but Pussies out when his nepHew shows signs of the dark side. And then they kill him off like a little bitch.



Exactly. Yoda and Obi Wan both were 100% convinced Vader/Anakin could never come back to the light, yet super optimistic Luke believed and actually did it.

Just a god damn AWFUL direction to take with the most iconic hero in the entire franchise. It does not make any sense whatsoever.

I hate the direction they took Rey also. The whole bit in TFA with how the Skywalker lightsaber was attracted to her, what was her lineage to explain her strength in the Force etc. Just an incredibly dumb path to take as well imo.

Say what you want about The Force Awakens but JJ Abrams set everything up for The Last Jedi to be the best Star Wars film since Empire Strikes Back imho.

Also, I like that Yoda is in this but it totally should've been Obi-Wan in this role imo. Force ghost Anakin talking about Kylo's turn to the dark side would've worked well too.

They went out of their way to destroy everything Lucas created. I was ok with Porgs because toys, I was ok with Rey and Phasma because it appeases the SJW culture and they still could have been bad asses. Han dying was OK because it’s what Harrison wanted... but for Luke Skywalker, who resisted Darth Vader AND Darth Sidious whilst turning Darth Vader back to Anakin Skywalker and the light, to develop into what TLJ depicts him as is a slap in the face to fans of the OT.

1. No damn clue as to Snoke's background. Really? VERY disappointing.

2. I'm not exactly a big fan of the SKywalker family drama. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back were damn good movies all the way up until The I am your father moment when we didn't know all of that stuff. Reviews were critical of the Skywalker drama at the time.

3. I don't buy for one second that Rey's parents were junkers or drunks. Someone knows who they really are. I think Kylo was trying to hurt her.

4. So now we have two force users who have not been properly trained and all the masters on both sides of the force are dead. Ok.
