TLJ review SPOILERS

I Have a shite ton of issue with it, too many to list here but I'll list a few of the main ones that I think make this movie a complete piece of shite and worth every bit of criticism it's getting. Not speaking for everyone here but these are also a lot of the issues I see others pointing out too.

One of my main issues is with the portrayal of Luke. In the original trilogy, Luke believes that Vader can be saved. A mass murder of 30ish years who's killed millions of innocents, slaughtered Jedi, killed his wife, etc. can be saved in Luke's eyes, yet he senses a hint of darkness in his nephew and decides to kill him in his sleep? fricking ridiculous. And what about his friends? In Empire Strikes, he risks himself and the fate of the galaxy, abandoning Yoda to save his friends, yet in TLJ (the last Jedi) once it's explained to him that Han is dead, the galaxy is in peril, his sister is about to die while she tries to lead the resistance, Luke is like “lol so?”. Again, fricking ridiculous. It's NOT Luke, it's some bullshite Disney version of him. Also why did he leave a fricking map, which was the ENTIRE plot of the force awakens, if as he says in this movie he just wants to be left alone to die? Which leads me to my next issue;

Literally all of the interesting plot points and questions that were posed in the force awakes are abandoned in this movie. Who's Rey's parents? Nobody, doesn't matter. Who's Snoke, how is he so powerful and how did he corrupt Kylo? Doesn't matter. Why did Luke's saber call to Rey? Doesn't matter. Why did Maz have Lukes saber to begin with? Who knows. What happened with the Knights of Ren? Doesn't matter. They took every interesting question posed in the force awakens and just said “frick you audience, you get no answers.”

And how about the plot holes? Holy frick. In the force awakens the first order is portrayed as like a terrorist organization. They lose their entire planet, yet a couple week (days?) later they have this enormous fleet and basically control the entire galaxy? Yeah ok. And you mean to tell me the republic doesn't have a single base outside the planets that were destroyed in the force awakens? Again, yeah ok. Why didn't Holdo just tell Poe her plan? It would have eliminated the entire need for the Finn/Rose plot which was a complete waste and unnecessary. And what about when Holdo kamikaze attacked the ship? Thousands of stormtroopers who surrounded Finn and Rose are dead but they're miraculously alive? And Phasma, who was standing right over them, is teleported across the fricking the hanger and is now surrounded by a huge squad? bullshite, lazy arse writing.

Some smaller issues I had; Ackbar didn't get a good death, he was a star wars legend. Leia's Marry Poppins scene was fricking ridiculous, she should have died there. Luke shouldn't have died, period, was done purely for shock value and so Disney could make their own characters with which to sell merchandise with. Chewie just lost Han but that's never mentioned (by anyone) and is now being bossed around by some girl he barely knows? Stupid. Benicio Del Toro's character was stupid, this isn't a fricking marvel movie. Which brings up humor, omg the humor was painfully cringeworthy, in addition to turning Hux (who was kind of a bad arse in TFA) into a bumbling idiot. Again par for the course with Disney on that shite.

Finally how about the opening sequence. The one where ships drop bombs in space. Drop bombs. In space.........it's fricking space, bombs don't fricking drop there's no god damn fricking gravity.....frick this movie.
