Why Hate on The Last Jedi Should Not Be (Spoiler Alert)

There has been a load of hate on The Last Jedi more than there should be. From people saying there’s too much comedy to the point where we didn’t get to see Snoke’s backstory.

First of all, the comedy is Disney Disneyfying Star Wars. You can’t expect that not to come. From Luke throwing his lightsaber back to dusting off his shoulder, I mean it’s funny and Star Wars doesn’t usually have that much humor but you can’t just “hate” it for that. Second, is we didn’t get to see Snokes backstory before he died. He may have been an interesting character but you didn’t get to see The Emperor’s backstory before the prequels were out.

Next, there wasn’t a real lightsaber duel. I get this part a lot but the closest thing we got was Rey and Kylo fighting off Snoke’s Praetorian guards which you have to say that was pretty cool. There was also the point where Leia used the force to propel her through space when the bridge was blown up. Why can’t she use the force when Luke barely was taught how to use the force in A New Hope but he still got the missile into the reactor chain. Especially when they come from the same family.

Lastly, a lot of people thought what happened to Luke was wrong, even Mark Hamill thought that Luke’s character in The Last Jedi was a betrayal of his character. Even though people like Obi-Wan went into hiding on Tatooine because of Anakin/Vader and Yoda also went into hiding. Therefore there is a lot of unnecessary hate on The Last Jedi there are even people convincing others who haven’t seen it to rate it badly on Rotten Tomatoes.
