Last Jedi complaints: explained!

What a sequel! 
The second film of the third trilogy of the best film series/franchise in the galaxy just hit cinemas leaving me and most bewildered. For some reason there was a lot of hate for this movie about Luke character, the directing and Leia etc but I LOVED it. It wasn't the best Star Wars movie yet but it is up there with the previous film 'Force Awakens' although many others feel differently. I saw it as soon as possible and have seen it twice since and thought I should share my thoughts with you on this blog. This blog will be explaining that the people who complain about the following are wrong, here's why...

SPOILER WARNING!! SPOILERS AHEAD!! DO NOT READ ON IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE BUT, LIKE I SAID LAST TIME ABOUT ROGUE ONE, YOU KNOW YOU'VE SEEN IT, BECAUSE...

IT'S STAR WARS!!

Everyone's been picking sides on whether they liked this movie or not. First time seeing it I had no complaints but the second time I noticed the purpose of some of the things people have complained about. Lots of these has became memes now.
I have seen that rotten tomato gave this movie 90% but the audience, however gave it 49%. Many people who enjoyed the original trilogy found it a disappointment but who's to blame? Ryan Johnson, the internet, the script, Porgs... turns out it's the reviews that have changed peoples minds.

Luke Skywalker

 This was one of the biggest complaints. People found Luke wasn't... well... original. They thought he gave up too easily and was irrelevant to the story, but this was clearly a sign of moving on which every character does in this movie. Luke moves on from the Jedi order, Rey moves on from Luke, Fin moves on from relying on Rey, Poe moves on from being reckless, Kylo moves on from Snoke and so on. Luke may have been different, and even Mark Hamill thought it was stupid until he saw the movie, but if you don't like the new Luke then you don't like change. The other thing about Luke that people disagreed on, was his ability to appear on Crait when physically on Lah'mu. I believe that he channeled the power of a force ghost to visually project him whilst meditating and control his every move telepathically. for example: Iron Man in 'Iron Man 3' controls the Iron Man suit to talk to Pepper as he worked out in the floor below. This also happens with Loki and the Destroyer in 'Thor 1'. But the complaints were, "How could he not be using the force for most of the film then suddenly pull this stunt?" Well the answer is quite simple, HE IS THE LAST JEDI!! This whole movie has been about his power and how he abandoned it until this moment, why can't people see that?!

Flying Leia

Okay, when I saw this at the cinema I thought it was a bit weird, but I think it was just the way it was composed. The complaints have been, "How can Leia now be this strong with the force? Strong enough to fly?" Well, if you've seen the Star Wars trilogy you would know that Leia has the force!! Let's go back to Empire; Obi "He was our last hope," Yoda "No, there is another". We all know that he was referring to Leia. Throughout Star Wars, she has preserved her ability but in this desperate and literally dying moment she decides to show her power with resurrection. Of course it's weird they kept her alive when Carrie Fisher is now one with the force, RIP Carrie😢😢, and JJ Abrams said himself that there will be no CGI Leia but it does make a bit if sense in the plot for her to live. Also it was less flying than letting the force pull her back to the ship with its energy in a non gravitational place; it was the way it was composed and the camera angle that made it look like she was flying, which looked a bit silly.

Porgs??

I know what you're thinking, PORGS????? Since when was this a complaint. Well, you'd be surprised by the things people have been saying; it goes a bit like this...
"Great! They've made new Ewoks which are gonna sell good as kids toys and play no role at all besides childish humour and being cute, but if it's what Disney want's..."
Well, what more can I say than leave the Porgs, alone!!! What are people's problems? The Porgs role in the movie is to co-side with Luke on Acht-too to show that he isn't alone and to show a humorous bond with Chewy. It's not like they're Jar-Jar or anything, and sure they made some crappy memes but is Ryan Johnson to blame? NO!! The pubic is to blame for being bothered by such harmless things by believing their purpose is to please Mickey Mouse!!

Topless Ren

I take back what I said earlier, this made the biggest meme. It did shake everybody seeing Adam Drivers 0 pack and man boobs in a Star Wars  movie but everything in this blog has a purpose and this one is to show the audience that Rey and Kylo can actually see each other (as well as hear) as she asks him to put a shirt on.

Snoke in two

Another big complaint was Snoke being so easily halved by Kylo. This was to take the attention and theories of the audience off of thinking Snoke was more powerful than any Sith. It demonstrated Kylo's power and how he was the main event the whole time. This was clearly to surprise the audience and I think it was a great twist.

Okay I'll give you some complaints: The flight to the First Order cannon was long and dramatic but so quick to get back even on foot, the casino scene (Canto Bite) was meaningless, Admiral Ackbar dies (devastated!) and some of the humour was over done. What I don't understand is why, after three crappy prequels, some fans want to remove the Last Jedi from cannon and redo it? There is actually a petition for this to happen! I mean Attack of the Clones was by far the worst film (in my opinion) yet nobody makes a fuss but now a less CGI Star Wars film comes out people want to remake it. It wasn't the best film but it was up there and not that far behind Force Awakens. Anyway, I'm probably speaking too soon as episode IX may explain all this but I hope this blog has persuaded you to have less hate towards the film if you did. May the force be with you all!
