We all know Luke. He is the heroic Jedi Knight who turned Darth Vader to the light and destroyed the Death Star. In fact, some of us may have looked up to him at some point in our lives. When we feel down, he gives us hope. When we feel like we can't win and are defeated we remember Luke destroying the Death Star when the chances we near impossible. We remember the wise Luke from Return of the Jedi, the Jedi Master. The son of Vader who is supposed to train the next generation of Jedi. I'd love to so say The Last Jedi continues his story amazingly, but unfortunately no. It kills it all. They made Luke a grumpy old man on an island that almost killed his nephew in his sleep in fear of him turning to the dark side. That sounds an awful lot like Palpatine killing Darth Plagueis doesn't it? You have to think, Luke isn't palpatine. Luke isn't pure evil. He is quite the opposite of that. It all comes down to Rian Johnson not understanding the Skywalker Legacy. It was a poor choice to hire Rian for The Last Jedi as it did cause many issues. It was revealed that Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill had repeatedly asked Rian to think about the fans. Selfishly Rian said that it was his movie and story, not the fans'. However, his movie was not the right story at all, and he clearly didn't understand. Back to Luke's many problems, Luke then pouts on an island saying, "It's time for the Jedi to end." When literally all the way through the original trilogy he was trying to restore the Jedi Order and turn his father to the light side. It completely goes against everything he stands for. Now people might say,"well how would you feel about causing the deaths of hundreds of people?" Of course you would feel terrible, but you have to remember it's Luke Skywalker. If Leia, his sister, needed him he would almost immediately help her. She didn't even blame him for Ben's fall to the dark either! I could talk way more about the negatives, but their are some positives. The visual effects are the best out of any Star Wars film, the praetorian guard fight was cool, and the props were very well made. However the negatives clearly outweigh the positives. The humor is terrible as well and that is not how you use humor in Star Wars. Anyways, that's my review. If you like the movie then Great! But don't be toxic about it please. We all have different opinions. Same goes to people who disliked the movie like myself.
