Star Wars: Last Jedi Review

This article contains spoilers

I will give Star Wars: Last Jedi 5.5/10, mainly because the story doesn't make much logical sense. Why is the Resistance portrayed as a good organisation? Why is the First Order considered as bad? I think the Resistance looks like a terrorist organisation that is very lacking in terms military tactics and discipline. If I am an investor, I would rather invest in First Order.

Military of the Resistance

  • Lack of disicipline
    • Poe disobeying order and continued the attack First Order destroyer
      • This resulted in a pyrrhic victory, and unnecessary loss of resistance personnel.
    • Mutiny on Resistance cruiser
  • Failure to win hearts and minds 1)
    • Self-imposed exile by Luke Skywalker - even their senior leadership doesn't believe in their cause.
    • Sent out a distress call at the end of the film, nobody wanted to come and help.
  • Poor military leadership
    • Vadm Holdo decided to kamikaze the Resistance cruiser
      • This resulted in loss of senior leadership.
      • Couldn't she have used autopilot, or a drone?

Military of the First Order

  • Justified and Proportionate
    • Cruiser chase scene
    • The red guards revenge for Snoke's death
  • Unity and Strength
    • Better uniform
    • Better equipment

Radicalisation of Kylo Ren

Luke Skywalker tried to kill Kylo Ren while Ren was asleep.

Conclusion

I really feel the Resistance deserves to perish. 2)
