Star Wars isn't something that gets rebooted. It's a 9 part story with a simple overriding theme. You don't change the plot in the 8th installment of the series. You continue the story. You repeat the themes that made the OT so well loved. The Force Awakens did that while introducing new characters. And those characters had promise. But the Last Jedi fell flat on it's face and worse shyt all over Star Wars canon.
Luke's death should have been the most memorable scene in the entire Saga. If the Last Jedi was truly to be about the last Jedi then that needed to be the obvious plot of this installment. Star Wars was about Vader, Luke and the blood line. To have Luke just fade away in a poof of midichlorians was the hugest slap in the face to an audience in the history of cinema.
Which brings me to Rey. Her parents are nobodies? Are you ****ing kidding me!? That's annoying on so many levels. First because they made it out to be a big cliff hanger in the first movie. But more importantly because it deviates from what we all expected as fans, Argh I'm just so pissed about that.
Speaking of cliff hangers, what about Snoke who we were all led to believe was some new big baddie with mysterious origins. Another nobody. And I won't even talk about his death scene.
Carrie Fisher's death certainly screwed some plans up. I think she originally was supposed to be a big part of Ep 9. However with her death wouldn't have made sense to kill her off on screen in Ep 8? And there were certainly enough opportunities for that to happen. Instead we get the most cringe worthy, poorly CGI'd, moment I can remember ever seeing. I would have laughed if I wasn't so close to crying.
