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
    • Capt Dameron disobeying order and continued the attack First Order destroyer
      • This resulted in a pyrrhic victory, and unnecessary loss of resistance personnel.
    • Cmdr Dameron mutinied over Vadm Holdo's order to abandon ship.
  • Failure to win hearts and minds 1)
    • Self-imposed exile by Luke Skywalker
      • Even their senior leadership doesn't believe in their cause.
    • Nobody responded to the distress call by the Resistance.
  • Poor military leadership
    • Vadm Holdo decided to kamikaze the Resistance cruiser
      • This resulted in loss of a member of the senior leadership, it is harmful for morale.
      • Couldn't she have used autopilot, or a drone?
      • Couldn't they have done this earlier
  • Lack of communication between team members
    • Cmdr Dameron wasn't informed of Vadm Holdo's full plan of evacuation.
      • This partially led to the mutiny.
      • It is reasonable to believe that Cmdr Dameron would not have put Finn and Rose at risk by sending them to First Order flagship, if he was informed of Vadm Holdo's plan.

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)
