Re: Star Wars Discussion (The Last Jedi Spoilers Within!)
I liked what they tried to do. There were some nice twists. But it didn't come together 100% for me.
To use an analogy, I liked how they tried to travel from Vancouver to Toronto, but they chose the some of the most uncomfortable and awkwardly rough and sometimes unnecessary roads to get there.
Force Awakens may not tread new ground, but it was a more cohesive film. While this tries to jump off into new directions, but the pieces just don't quite fit together seamlessly.
Some of the dialogue felt like it just didn't belong in the Star Wars universe. Chrome dome anyone? Yoda talking about page turners?
But the two most awesome scenes in the movie were the throne room battle and the lightspeed jump into the first order fleet.
