so in the force awakens han goes to light speed inside the freighter in the millennium falcon
but in this movies chic engages light speed and takes out a fleet....
Star Wars is made for kids at Disney World. I think many kids will fall asleep in the movie. I almost fell asleep at the end because it was midnight and I was tired. I barely remember the ending. It's 2.5 hours of non stop orchestra music.
Spoiler
The chic who takes the cruiser to light speed is admiral Holdo. She takes over after the rebel leader is killed. She doesn't get along with Poe and has him removed from the bridge. The crew escapes in pods to a planet below, which magically has a rebel base that wasn't being used. She's the last one on the cruiser that is out running the imperial fleet. After everyone is off the ship, she turns it towards an imperial battle ship and jumps to light speed destroying it. Why didn't they jump to light speed and escape? Because there's a tracking device on the ship, so they can be found instantly. They stay at sub light speed but the ships run out of fuel and get destroyed. Her cruiser is the last one. They go down to the planet, that's where Luke (his projection) fights. Finn almost dies when he flies his ship into a cannon, but Tran magically saves him at the last second and they kiss. Finn also kisses Rey at the end. What is left of the rebels at the end of the movie is a handful of people with a kid jedi learning how to swing a light saber. It's basically a stalemate with a bunch of people getting killed and Leah going we have all we need. I'm like WTF was the purpose of this movie? We don't find out the parents of Rey. Kylo Ren says she came from junk parents, but I don't believe that. It's probably some distant line of jedi from the past we'll find out in the last episode.

did the freighter he abandoned get wiped out too?
No, they just shot out of the hangar bay through the open port.
light speed inside <planet, other ship, etc.> annoys the **** out of me. In A New Hope Han talks about how it's not like "dusting crops boy". I hate how they messed it up in the new movies.
I usually love all the Star Wars movies and defend them against haters but this one was awful. Everything was easily predictable and straight forward, the dialogue was terrible and extremely corny... much much more. Worse than the phantom menace unfortunately

yikes. Worse than pod racing? Worse than the annoying kid winning a space battle on his own? Worse than Jar Jar?
The prequels and episode 7 and stuff have lowered my Star Wars standards to rock bottom.
That being said, I really enjoyed this movie. I thought it was fun.
Lots of witty lines and humor that were cracking me up.
"Ok yeah, that really is nowhere." -Luke etc...
#1 reason I enjoyed this movie: There was no death star.
I have watched 3 Star Wars movies that had death stars as the main objective they had to overcome, so going into this one my criteria was "No death star = Me happy".
The red salt was a well-thought-out beautiful and poetic metaphor. Very creative.
There were moments that kicked extreme ass in my opinion.

The cruiser going light-speed through the destroyer was totally ****ing sweet and my favorite part of the whole thing, especially when it went silent. Loved it.
For me there was only one truly ****ty part of the whole movie that left me thinking WTF?
Spoiler
Finn and Rose are in a huge docking yard surrounded by storm troopers and some chromium officer about to be executed. The next thing you know, the whole place is completely wrecked with fire, destruction, and napalm, and Finn and Rose are the only survivors left completely untouched, and as if that wasn't bad enough, all the storm troopers enter the room from outside the doorway, having magically teleported out there somehow. It was a pure disconnect and took me right out of the movie. I just had to shrug and dismiss it and move on. Huge blunder.
I thought it was a fun and enjoyable movie that many can enjoy and have a good time with. Money well spent for me.

W...T...F...
I call bull**** that you have ever seen the Phantom Menace.
That is an overly flamboyant and ridiculous post.
Even if you disliked The Last Jedi to the maximum degree, there is just no way...
i think they did a good job figuring out what worked in ep6 and rogue one, and putting those things center stage. namely:
- space battles
- climactic "good vs evil" showdowns
- character building around luke, leia, rey
- MUSIC
- big spaceships and spacetanks
as a star wars film i think it delivered, once a year getting to watch all these iconic images and scenes i grew up watching slug it out is definetly something i want to be a part of.
all the "movie" stuff didn't really work for me, and i'm ok with that. breaking out of the prison, helping the kids, the whole sparking the rebellion (hunger games ??), i rolled my eyes pretty hard at these scenes. as a regular movie it was maybe average, but idk how anyone would expect a regular movie coming into this
enjoyed it for the most part. the dialogue and humor definitely felt too much like a marvel movie to me tho. would have been better if it was a bit more serious. you can def poke some holes in the story telling but it was better than ep7. prob the star wars movie with the most philosophy/meanings.
if you say this is worse than the prequels you need to watch them again. tho i will admit they had some really cool ideas, they are mostly god awful movies. this movie is def very polarizing and i see a lot of people you wouldn't expect loving or hating it.

****ing Jar Jar man... No way...
Meesa calling you a liar.
Spoilers incoming!!
Leia basically dies in space and is shown freezing over instantly following the explosion- then wakes up uses the force for the first time to fly through space back onto the ship then instantly goes into a coma from her injuries? Wtf is that
I was expecting luke to be a projection at the end when he faces ren, that's fine... the brushing his shoulders off was retarded- then him dying at the end from the stress of what he did? Or did he ascend? Guess we never see him fight
They tried to add so many jokes that the whole movie felt like a parody. Starting with Luke throwing the lightsaber over his shoulder.
Killing snoke was cool, but the fight after with the guards was retarded, felt like they tried a kung fu fight scene with various martial arts weapons
Luke is a little ***** the entire movie, not some wise Jedi master
The entire side story about fin and the Asian chick going to find a code breaker was unneeded and completely useless
Many more.
There were cool things too... lightspeed into the ship was badass. I'm glad kylo put muscle on and added a scar to look more like a villain.
Overall it seemed forced (no pun intended) and like the script was written by a high schooler for middle school audiences
