The story axes by the beginning or by the end every trail of curiosity you had found in The Force Awakens. That’s probably why the toys sit unsold on the shelves.Īnd The Last Jedi is no improvement to the dead merchandise of 2015. They have not made a competent film about “boy stuff”-which is what Star Wars is, make no mistake-since Aladdin or The Lion King. Disney only knows how to tale cutesy tales about special girls with little animal pals and dumb sidekicks. It is not a “Star Wars” movie: The Last Jedi is a Disney movie. Instantly, I knew that we were in for trouble. Then he singlehandedly blows up all the guns on the villain’s dreadnaught. Poe Dameron prank calls the commanding First Order villain, who makes a cartoon fool of himself. The opening scene has a girl with downs syndrome giving F-for-effort acting, calling for retreat. And I wanted a bit more of the “boring stuff” to explain Snoke, the Resistance, the First Order, etc. I wanted Luke to be the wisest, kindest, most serious mentor that could be shown. I wanted Rey to show some real heroic struggle, not just godmode like The Force Awakens.

I wanted Finn to be more than a token black janitor. I knew I wanted a few things out of The Last Jedi, going into the theater. That’s normal, I suppose, but as a reviewer of Infinity models or movies or anything, I should not prostrate my thoughts to what I expect others think.

More than that, I did not want to be a stick in the mud about a movie everyone liked. I thought The Force Awakens was entertaining back when I saw it, but, I rated everything an artichoke higher than it deserved back then. I did not expect it to be good, after The Force Awakens and Rogue One. I don’t know where to begin with this The Last Jedi. But I saw Disney’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi this weekend, and boy is that movie a thing to talk about, so here’s a review. I have not played Infinity much recently with the dropoff in attendance at my game store, and with that game store now closing.
