A review by rheren
Star Wars: The Last Jedi by Jason Fry

2.0

I watched the movie the Last Jedi and was very disappointed in the plot holes, bad worldbuilding, and poor storytelling in a lot of the scenes. I read the book hoping it would explain some of the things I didn't understand and help me feel better about the movie. Frankly, it didn't. The parts of the movie I liked were pretty much the same, the parts I hated make just as little sense as they did to start with. I won't go into a whole diatribe here because I could fill pages and it isn't worth it, but this is still my least favorite Star Wars movie, and the book suffers from the same flaws. If I was just reading this as a science fiction book that I picked up off the shelf, I would be blasting it as a terrible sci-fi book that has huge plot issues and makes very little sense. It has a couple of redeeming virtues, but not nearly enough to rescue the terrible parts.
