Star Wars: The Last Jedi Gets High Approval Rating In Fan Poll

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has scored a high approval rating (possibly as much as 89%) in a fan poll that was conducted by SurveyMonkey. Episode VIII is perhaps one of the most debated blockbusters in some time. Granted, the movie belongs to one of, if not the most iconic franchise in cinema, so it’s to be expected that most everyone who sees it will have a strong opinion to share. Nevertheless, writer/director Rian Johnson’s addition to the Star Wars movie series stirred the pot in unexpected ways and went in some rather unexpected directions – much to the consternation of some die-hard fans.

SurveyMonkeys (via Mashable) conducted a poll of its own from December 15-19, in order to better determine how everyday people feel about The Last Jedi. 89% of the 4,441 people survey said that they either love or at least like (evenly divided) the new Star Wars movie. The figure remains the same whether respondents identify as life-long Star Wars fans or casual moviegoers who just happened to catch the blockbuster. Dissecting the data more, it shows that 34% of the general demographics loved it, rather than just like, while 63% of loyalists were in love with the movie. Cross-referencing with other sites that try to gauge people’s reaction to a film – see, for example, The Last Jedi‘s A grade CinemaScore – these numbers, more or less, check out.
