I felt that The Last Jedi didn’t really put a new spin on the fanficcy qualities of TFA: it was entertaining enough, but even more so than TFA, seemed like reconstituted blocks of Star Wars Product. (And given that the original trilogy is so tropey to begin with...) I feel it also suffers a bit from a lack of menace on the part of the villains, both on an individual level (there’s the banality of evil, and then there’s Adam Driver suffering from what appears to be roid rage—naturally a fairly lean and sinewy type, he bulks up in a really peculiar, puffy way) and in terms of a Villain Plan. But I’ll be interested to know what you think...
