For my Last Jedi review time it is. admit I do, that unsure about the ending I am but willing to give the film the benefit of the doubt I shall. Some brilliant set pieces there are, the story of how ben solo became kylo ren includes this does and explained from different perspectives it was. Shows the full picture and explain why a bitter old man Luke has becone, it does. Has the audience wondering if truly beyond saving Kylo Ren is or redeemed could he be. Yes, hmmm.
Just Luke that is shown to be fallible it is not, a number of the resistance leaders we see and how easy that they can make mistakes it is. While not really seen on screen, mentioned some famous leaders from the original trilogy there are. Opening set piece with Dameron at the beginning when he is stalling with General Hux amusing it is but arguable if worth the losses the following battle it is.
While speaking of amusing moments I am, missed opportunity there was early in film. Lightsaber on the ground there was with with 2 porgs, in front of the business end one was standing while jumping up and down on it the other was. Take a mind reader to know the entire audience at this point was thinking "Land on the button....." it would not.
Trend of clear parallels between a new hope and the force awakens continues it does, straight from Empire Strikes Back a few scenes could have been. At one point Rey's father half expecting Snoke to say to tell her I was.
Overall enjoyed the film I did although getting rid of the old guard this trilogy starting to feel like it is, especially with scene early in film. however, popular old character brought back one is. Cackling like loon he was while causing a little chaos but good to see again he is.
