    I agree with the other guy somewhat - take out a lot of the casino scene and it’s the best star wars movie so far.

    I’m pissed Johnson isn’t going to get the trilogy he was promised. Instead, we got Abrams making the most corporate star wars to date, and that’s saying something

      The casino scene is the crux of the movie. The main character - Rose - is a loyal soldier who stops a deserter ‘or her sister died for nothing.’ Planet Capitalism is where she’s disillusioned by war profiteers and makes the unsubtle decision to free their animals. By the end she prevents said deserter from repeating her sister’s sacrifice.

      The Last Jedi is an anarchist critique of of Star Wars where a rebel soldier rejects the old lie.

      I have no fucking idea how Disney decided to produce it as an actual Star Wars film.
