I liked The Last Jedi. I don't pick up all the hate it got.
TFA is fun. From the familiar but gender flipped story to the dry bowstaff Han humour it felt like it moved forward and characters actively evolved. TLJ decided to try and make Star Wars about anti-cowboy ruinous empathy and fell super flat. It was an interesting idea, but ultimately lacked a feeling of self awareness—people go to these movies to not see space cowboys. A better way would've been leaders need to know when to go with heroics and when to go with discretion. They also faked out almost all of the meaningful encounters they wrote in to the story.
The lightspeed kamakaze and throne fight scene were the only redeeming highlights of the movie.

It wasn't good.
I dunno, it wasn't too bad. It just wasn't what people wanted out of Star Wars. You're all Kylo.
You’re right, people wanted a good movie out of Star War.
I didn't like the Last Jedi at all. TFA was almost Star Wars, at least. At the rate they're pumping these out they're bound to get it right one day.
Original trilogy, de-specialized edition. That's all I care about at this point.
Radioland Murders (1994) -- speaking of George Lucas. This is almost a good movie, it tries to get a Marx Bros. rhythm going but just keeps stepping on its own feet. The cast list is *nuts*, the premise is fun, but every time it seems to pick up on a good direction it awkwardly drops it. Brian Benben is not very good.
Last Jedi could’ve been a lot better had Luke actually been there at the end or flown in on his xwing saving Finn instead of what’s her face. Even then...meh

Luke is not even Luke in TLJ.
