Early reviews are pretty bad for this one. Screw it, though, I’ll still be there Thursday.
What doesn’t make sense to me is that JJ Abrams and Rian Johnson were allegedly coming at the story from completely different angles. How does that happen on a project this big? How can you not at least have a broad outline to work from? Several of the reviews indicate the new movie is disjointed, as Abrams seems to be correcting “mistakes” from the second movie. That just seems extraordinarily sloppy for a multi-billion dollar franchise.
Overall, I enjoyed the last Jedi, despite some fairly large errors. However, iit is sounding like the entire thing was a giant waste of time, as it may not have forwarded the plot at all, other than killing off the most iconic hero in the Star Wars universe.
