Star Wars: The Last Jedi is probably my favorite Star Wars movie thus far. While there are some parts that are maybe a little too cheesy (they are appealing to new non-Sci-fi fans now) I love how everything wrapped together. I didn’t feel lost in the movie and while I didn’t know the outcome of many of the scenes and experiences, I felt like everything was tied together nicely! I feel like there are tons of relatable scenes, especially from younger characters who have torn emotions and even some revenge. My whole family watched this movie in the theaters and watching at home is definitely a must, it is so nice to pause the movie for questions or even rewind!
While I don’t claim to be a big Star Wars fan, I feel like this catered to all ages and fans. Even if you didn’t see other Star Wars movies, I feel too you could easily get a quick understanding of what was going on. There are tons of new characters and yeah for girl power! Oh and for Yoda fans, he does make an appearance!

I am such a Star Wars fan that I named one of my kids after Obi-wan.
This was the only time in my 50 years that I’ve ever walked out of a movie ranting about how awful it was.
In 2 movies, they completely destroyed both Han’s and Luke’s characters.
Cher says
For a true Star Wars fan I can completely see your point. I think the movie now appealed to a new audience and I loved it because I felt you didn’t have to be a from the beginning Star Wars fan to enjoy it.
