The toxic reaction to The Last Jedi is proof that fans don't always know what's best for Star Wars, writes robbiereviews

Two years on from the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the film’s small but noisy band of detractors are touting an unlikely new convert to their cause: John Boyega, star of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

How can this paper be so wrong on so many things

We shall see.

Ummmmm it was awful.

Why they are wrong to have an opinion?

After seeing the final episode it becomes clear that number 8 used as a vehicle to introduce new talent to the franchise and in the process destroy Luke. It also becomes clear that Carrie Fisher dying, led to a piecemeal rewrite of ep 8. All of her footage was used in episode 9.

Seriously, You know nothing about Star Wars. I’m guessing you’re 7.

That's not what I've been told.

The Author just doesnt get it

Nope. Jedi's Return is the best one along side with the Empire Strikes Back. These news Star Wars movies failured to show the real meaning of the franchise.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The last Jedi was terrible.

Parody?

robbiereviews This is a new type of evolved idiocracy.

robbiereviews You dont get to dictate peoples opinions. Thats text book thought policing. People dont like the movie because of its horrible writing, lack of character development, and total abandonment of its core. It was a bad movie, diverse cast be damned. Even the actors thought so.

robbiereviews Lol. Just remember guys if only 48% of the audience liked the movie but 90% critics enjoyed it then they must be right and the general opinion must be wrong. Conceited Arrogant egocentric are words that spring to mind. The Telegraph .. No thanks.

robbiereviews unfair to the diehard fans that study star wars knowledge and have a more deeper understanding of the star wars universe then the writers themselves. that’s the problem the star wars community has atm.

robbiereviews to me, this movie was half assed. the fact that they introduced new characters and story arcs at the expense of the plot shows the little creativity the writers used for this movie, which previously, star wars has been able to have both at one time.

robbiereviews Did you seriously compare 'The Last Jedi' to 'The Empire Strikes Back'? I'm baffled that a film critic can have such a poor distinction between the quality of two movies, regardless if you're a Star Wars fan or not

robbiereviews You’re so wrong it’s painful. How can you say that TLJ shows more of an understanding of Star Wars than Lucas’ films. We had to spend 20 minutes watching Rose and Finn in a casino for no reason and killing the franchises main villain after such little screen time was ridiculous.

robbiereviews All you really need to know that this movie is awful is watch HamillHimself in interviews about the movie and see the pain in his eyes when he is forced to praise it

robbiereviews This is toxic articles by newspapers spreading their own petulant hatred. How about the TLJ is proof they should have left alone star wars. Or maybe Disney should have started their own franchise set a couple of hundred years later

robbiereviews THEY know what is best for YOU. THEY know what YOU should and should not like. THEY know when YOUR opinion is right and when is wrong. If it rings a bell, probably you have suffered under a totaritalian regime StarWarsTheRiseofSkywalker StarWars shillmedia

robbiereviews Which part of the fanbase is more toxic? Group A, who disliked the movie (and unfortunately contains a small percentage of bad actors) or Group B, who are all “woke” and screech that absolutely everyone who didn’t 100% love TLJ are all Nazis and misogynists?

robbiereviews Never understood the particular hatred for that film. Force Awakens was the real stinker of the series.

robbiereviews Ah, well if they want the movie they better start making better films. Remember it's the fans that pay 4 the products.

robbiereviews VIVAOAK

robbiereviews Absolutely! It’s a great movie and doesn’t deserve any of the criticism.

robbiereviews Not wrong. That film was a travesty. And I watched it several times to make sure I wasn't imagining it. Got incrementally angrier with each view.

robbiereviews The fact that you think that one single director, who directed part 8 of a 9 film series knew what was best for star wars proves...YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! Subvert expections on a new trilogy, not in the middle of established characters, and a direct sequel

robbiereviews This is as bad as the haters! I thought TLJ was dreadful. I'm not wrong or right, it's just my opinion. I like your articles usually but this is just pathetic (IMO).

robbiereviews I watched it again recently and loved it.
