since 1977 no other Star Wars film has
divided audiences quite like the last
Jedi welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’ll be taking a look at the top five
legitimate gripes with Star Wars the
last Jedi I’ve seen this roster only
once before
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content whether you thought
it was the best since Empire or the
worst since The Phantom Menace here are
five things that we understand not being
sold on just so it said here at
WatchMojo we loved it and don’t
necessarily agree with these points but
can totally understand fans issues with
them but as darkness Rises light does to
meet it so be sure to check out the
companion piece to this top 5 things the
last Jedi got right also be warned this
list is strong with spoilers this is not
going to go number 5 the pacing was off
as the longest Star Wars film so far the
last Jedi was always at risk of dragging
on this was only made worse by the fact
that it had multiple climaxes first in
the daring escape from the first order
then the showdown in Stokes chamber then
another battle on crate before Luke
finally shows up in Sykes out kylo Ren
some criticized that it seemed to borrow
from and combine plot points from both
the Empire Strikes Back and Return of
the Jedi like some kind of narrative
Hail Mary
this wasn’t helped by the fact that a
handful of scenes felt completely
unnecessary to the plot but more on that
later
number 4 build up from the previous film
was dashed there’s been an awakening
have you felt it episode 7 the force
awakens was the beginning of a new era
for Star Wars and it introduced a lot of
new elements and big questions who are
Ray’s parents
where did Snoke come from why is c-3po
zarm red you probably don’t recognize me
because of the red arm you know all
pressing need to know big-picture stuff
the last Jedi made an effort to subvert
expectations first by cutting down our
expectations of Snoke and then providing
Rey’s true parentage as an anti twist
considering the hype that followed the
force awakens many had high expectations
that never got the payoff they felt they
deserved number 3 Luke’s character took
a huge turn the protagonist of the
original trilogy Luke Skywalker is an
icon with many feeling his place as a
hero is beyond solidified that’s why
when it turns out he’s abandoned most of
his principles and even considered
killing one of his students many were
beyond miffed with this drastic
character departure I am a Jedi
like my father before me even mark
hamill butted heads with director Rian
Johnson over where the character was
going obviously the filmmakers felt they
needed to give the characters in depth
and struggle and in doing so made his
passed tragically similar to Obi Wan’s
much to the chagrin of some fans a young
Jedi named Darth Vader who was a pupil
of mine until he turned to evil helped
the Empire hunt down and destroy the
Jedi Knights for fans though this went
from insult to injury when he magically
found new powers they had never seen
before
number two the jokes were out of place
Johnson worked hard to make the last
Jedi not only his own but also a
departure from past Star Wars movies
part of that involved injecting humor
into the script while humor and jokes
have never been completely foreign to
Star Wars you can make it you’re braver
than I thought a few of the jokes were
definitely off-putting the giass we
didn’t ask prank call at the beginning
set a bad tone for a lot of fans
language and during one of Rey and kylo
ren’s for Skype calls she has to ask him
to put a shirt on though she was
probably just tired of seeing his
ridiculously high pants either way a
growing number of fans have stated that
the jokes went for a cheap laugh and
felt largely out of place in a Star Wars
film Chewie
we’re home number one the entire casino
planet plotline was pointless while
Kanto bite may have provided a
commentary on war profiteering many fans
felt the whole movie would have just
been better without it the escape and
ensuing chase scene on the back of the
fathers felt like it was in the wrong
movie but even taking a step back from
that Finn and Rose were on a mission
that ended in failure
and accomplished nothing in fact
bringing Benicio Del Toro’s DJ into the
mix actually got a ton of resistance
fighters killed it seems like it all
could have just been solved if whole
dough had let Poe in on her plans it’s a
big lesson for Poe Dameron
but many can’t shake the feeling that it
was just unnecessary
