    The opening scene started out fairly weak, but in the end the bombing scene perfectly set up the rest of the movie in terms of the rebellion.

    Overall, I loved it. Some scenes were absolutely mind-blowingly good, and others just made you go "what the fuck?" Technically, Leia could probably have been able to use the force to keep herself alive like that. However, there were so many better ways to do it instead of demon space Leia. Why didn't she use the force to hold together the atmosphere of the cockpit? Imagine that scene, with glass floating and everyone looking around like holy shit while she just stands there holding it all together. Isn't that her power? Unity? Although the Kylo, Luke, and Rey scenes were amazing. The hyperdrive scene was amazing.

    Personally, I was okay with the Rose and Finn storyline, as it gave both of them some good character development. That being said, there shouldn't have been the kiss at the end. Wasn't necessary.

    The Yoda scene was a bit sudden, but I think it worked in the end. Yoda returned to his tricksy and wise old self like he was in the original trilogy, thank god. I think his ghost just could have been introduced a bit more slowly instead of just springing him on Luke like that. I feel the ghost also should have been more like the original force ghosts, this one seemed to have too much shape and opacity.

    The action scenes were awesome. No contest.

    The acting from Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley went up by 10 notches since the Force Awakens. Poe also became a better known character which was good to see.

    This movie was clearly a setup movie. What really happened here was character development in all of our main characters. ALL of the character development came from failure. EVERY character failed.

    1. Rey failed first to bring Luke back, and then failed again when she tried to bring Ben to the light again.
    2. Kylo failed to complete the Sith cycle of killing the master and taking the Apprentice. Rey didn't let go of the old like he had hoped.
    3. Finn has realized that he's now going all in with the Resistance. At the beginning, he's deserting them, trying to save his friend. After Rose changes him across the course of their mission, and finally when Finn (hopefully) kills Phasma for good (Phasma clearly representing his past), he takes the last step away from the First Order.
    4. Poe realizes that he can't do everything on his own, simple as that. Although a lot of people were like "WHY DIDN'T THE BITCHY ADMIRAL JUST TELL POE THE PLAN," there are a few logical reasons for why she wouldn't tell him. For instance, she clearly didn't buy his tracking thing. Maybe she thought there was a spy? He also completely destroyed all of the defenses that the fleet had. She got thrown into the situation with no fighters at all. She assumed that Poe was a trigger-happy guy only when in reality he just wants what's best for the Resistance.

    Overall, I liked the movie because every twist and turn was unpredictable. Luke is actually a crazy murderer?!?! Wait he's actually justified in that action. Finn and Rose are going to save the Resistance with Poe! Nope, the admiral is instead. Luke's gonna have a crazy battle with Kylo! Nope, he's just gonna shoot him. LUKE IS FUCKING GOD?!?!?! Nope he's actually a ghost.

    Rey's parents.... are.....

    Nobody. Dead in a ditch on Jakku. Somehow, I didn't expect it. But it's perfect.

    Comparing The Last Jedi to The Force Awakens is tough. The Force Awakens had a more straightforward story with less unpredictable turns, but that also made it less confusing and an easier watch. The Last Jedi completely veered away from all cliche, but it made the story difficult to follow and lead to some dreadful scenes.

    Overall, I give it an 8.5/10.

    I just want to give some insight to anyone who isn't an Event Coordinator, although it's good to know as an Event Coordinator: I have seen in past communities and organizations, that these roles often make great pathways to leadership.  If you're interested in Staff positions, which would be quite good for your right now as inferred in earlier announcements, then I would definitely consider this.

     

    Don't wait for things to be official.  Not an Event Coordinator?  It doesn't mean you can't take a stab at an event.  Remember: It's okay to fail.

    And to complement that, you can always suggest your own event in here and we will give you the credits for it.
