On another forum (not OT) someone complained today that TLJ "ruined Star Wars." I thought to myself that the fact that some people think it ruined Star Wars just makes me like it even more.

ThrowgnCpr said:To claim that this movie is a disaster, or worse than anything from the PT is insanely ridiculous, but admittedly I am a little confused when I hear the polar opposite and people claim this is one of the best Star Wars movies.
Zamros said:Is The Last Jedi really some uber-original product that is just too different?
I thought it felt like episodes II, V and VI smushed together, rather than just V like most expected.
Gaith said:I don't believe that Luke would seriously consider (as in head to a hut, saber on his belt) murdering his own nephew in cold blood. The guy who thought the half-machine-man who blew up a whole frickin' planet could be redeemed, killing Ben Solo in his sleep before he even killed a single person? I don't like it, and I don't buy it. If it works for you, swell.

It's the power of editing.
You say he look sad, then yeah, he looks sad.
You said he looks tired, then yeah he looks tired.
You say he looks like thinking about eating donuts, then yeah, he kind of looks like thinking about eating donuts.
Gaith said:I give the movie a C+. Better than TFA, but nowhere near as good as Dark Force Rising.

Like a lot of traditional Star Wars fans, Mark Hamill has expressed a bit of disappointment over the direction writer/director Rian Johnson took Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi.
Luke has always been a presented with a lawful good alignment in the Star Wars franchise – the Jedi has always been just and kind and upright. A lot of fans, including Hamill, felt pained that Johnson would write the character in a different way, turning Luke into a bitter and flawed old man in The Last Jedi.
While the Star Wars legend still doesn’t want to think that the version of Luke that Johnson wrote is the same Luke he’s been playing for years, Hamill does however admit that he was wrong about not accepting The Last Jedi’s Luke.
"I've had trouble accepting what he saw for Luke, but again, I have to say, having seen the movie, I was wrong," the actor told IMDb in a recent interview.
"I think being pushed out of your comfort zone is a good thing, because if I was just another benevolent Jedi, training young padawans...we've seen it, and no one can do it better than Alec Guinness and I shouldn't even try," Hamill said.

DigModiFicaTion said:I seem to remember that he only went to the hut to peer into Ben's mind. The lightsaber was a reaction to the darkness he found when he did so. I can totally buy that. It's like when he went crazy on Vader during RotJ when he was filled with rage at the thought of Vader going after Leia. As Yoda pointed out, he is "reckless". That flaw has already been established and this seems to be a continuation of it.
DigModiFicaTion said:I personally don't think he gave up on the idea of Ben being redeemable. That's why he tried to train him in the first place. He, Luke, gave up on the idea of himself being redeemable. Remember his words to Artoo after Yoda died, "I can't do it Artoo. I can't go on alone". He's always doubted. To me, this character arc is the human Skywalker.

Gaith said:Nope, he just went to fish and die (wouldn't Jedi, like Vulcans, be vegetarian?).
