I went into this with the absolute lowest expectations....


I was still shocked beyond all comprehension at just how awful this was. As far as I'm concerned, only 3 Star Wars movies were ever made.

it was an aboration , i despise it , i wish all we had was the Original Trilogy , no special editions just Star Wars 77, Empire 80 and ROTJ 83, no more no less, the franchise has been raped.

reply

As far as I'm concerned, those are the only three. I've removed The Godfather
Part 3 from my reality in the same fashion. Some movies are just too terrible to exist.

reply

We'd all still love that, maybe we'd moan that some parts look dated but thats about it!

reply

That's how I used to feel about the PT's, that they didn't exist. But as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the hell out of them for some reason and now love them. Sure, they're not very good, but they're fun and charming and have great soundtracks.

I can't see myself every loving TLJ though, didn't hate it like some, but it is very mediocre and just so poorly written.

reply

Same. I expected the worst and somehow it was worse than that. No way I could finish it. I cried uncle when the lizard caretakers popped up for no reason on planet wtf

reply

6 actually, 3 for when we were kids, 3 for when we were adults.

reply

No, just the 3. You're free to enjoy the prequels, but as far as I'm concerned they're no better than the recent garbage pumped out by Disney. The same goes for the "enhanced" and updated originals. Junk. I only recognize the the original 3 theatrical releases.

reply

Nostalgia. The prequels were better written and better acted, as was 7. 8 is the outlier, it it pretty bad.

reply

This..the original didn't have the best writing or acting..

reply

" The prequels were better written " ROTFL

reply

laugh it up, manchild. Best and most relevant storytelling in B-movies since decades. The fall of democracy, the rise of demagogues. Now, you may go home and rethink your life.

reply

Maybe one day someone will explain to you the beautiful intricasies of the prequels.

reply

Be my guest, I can wait.

reply

The OT and PT were both masterworks in terms of art design, music, storytelling, world building and characters. They both had flaws in terms of writing, too but this aspect is redeemed by the creativity and originality of the series under Lucas.

reply

With the new films I have learned to appreciate the PT more and in reality i will never just pretend the new ones don't exist. I will just treat it like a do a series of novels, sometimes the last books don't always live up to what came before.

reply

TLJ was indeed the worse movie of the whole saga, no doubt. In my opinion this franchise can not afford to make another Star Wars movie like this. The last Jedi nearly makes Jar Jar binks a creature to be loved.

PS: English ist not my mother tongue, so I apologize for every mistake I make when I write but I can not check the dictionary for every sentence I write (it would take a long time). I hope you all are a little bit "sympathetic"about the way I write.

Regards

It was the worst of the Star Wars movies Overseas, hopefully the next one can't be any worse.

reply

It seems like Moviechat has people here from all over the world so dont worry about your English. I can understand you perfectly fine -- The Last Jedi was a very bad movie and it was the WORST Star Wars movie, by a very wide margin! Meeesa cant believe howsa bad it was!

reply

Ok. Thank you.
