Blog:Three years ago to this day, The Last Jedi released in cinemas.



On Christmas Day of 2017 my family and I went to see the movie; at first I thought it was pretty good (not great, but pretty good). As time passed on, I became more and more aware of the criticisms of the film, and once I read a sandbox from the long-absent user Evil Tim it was the sledgehammer that shattered my view of the film into pieces like a mirror, as I couldn't disagree; I re-watched the film on Netflix in the beginning of last year, and the detractors were right, it really was bad.

In the waning months of 2019 I decided to make my own sandbox so Masson Thief would give his approval and post it as a full-on article; eventually in the waning days of the first semester of school (in the United States, where I live) he fully approved the idea of an article about The Last Jedi, and made it from the ground-up combining the best aspects of my and Evil Tim's respective sandboxes whilst rejecting the worst.

I attempted to watch it more times on Netflix in the December of that year; the first attempt to re-watch the film for the third time was shortly before my family went to see The Rise of Skywalker. The second attempt was in the midnight of Christmas Day; in my third attempt at Christmas nighttime, I watched through most of it; I was at the part where Luke shows up on Crait, before the Dish cable reset... at that point it was past midnight of December 26, the day the film was removed from Netflix and made its way to Disney+.

My current thoughts on The Last Jedi... it's really bad, but at least it isn't as broken as The Force Awakens or The Rise of Skywalker.

As of now, Star Wars: The Last Jedi has an article residing here on the Awful Movies Wiki.

What are your opinions on the film?
