I’m still not sure if I liked The Last Jedi or not. I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan though so I’m not fussed if it was good or bad.
I just find some of the hate for it amusing. Luke’s personality changed over the 30 years since we last saw him? How outrageous that somebody at 60 might be different to how they were at 30.
I think it's more than that, the entire reason from him going from how he was in the original series to how he was in this film just didn't make sense.
He wouldn't kill Vader in ROTJ despite his crimes and genocide, but wanted to murder Kylo, his own nephew, practically a child, because he had bad thoughts. I can get over them making him grumpy, but turning him into a complete coward and refusing to defend billions of lives is completely removed from the character.
I think the major problem with Star Wars at the moment is that nobody has a long term plan for the story. I think JJ Abrams could potentially rectify things when he returns for the finale, but the problem with JJ is that he has extremely bad form finding a suitable ending for his films.
