For Some Reason, Star Wars’ Most-Hated Movie Is Currently Number One on Disney+

According to Flixpatrol, one of the most-hated and widely panned films, Star Wars The Last Jedi, featuring Rey Skywalker, is ranked number one on Disney+ for May. This has led many to wonder, is The Last Jedi worth watching, or is The Last Jedi good for fans of the original trilogy? The Star Wars sequel trilogy is a mixed bag, and most fans felt The Last Jedi not only desecrated George Lucas’s iconic franchise but also one of its most beloved characters – Luke Skywalker

There’s a reason why Star Wars Last Jedi is one of the most controversial chapters in the franchise’s history. The film is a typical Kathleen Kennedy flick with Rey (Daisy Ridley) taking up the moniker of Skywalker for no apparent reason, while the OG Skywalker is hiding in a “self-imposed exile” on Ahch-To, milking weird aliens for blue milk, as one does.

Is The Last Jedi Good?

Despite insulting millions, Star Wars The Last Jedi was still a commercial success, bagging $1.3 billion worldwide since its release. And now, the film is number one on Disney+, beating the likes of Moana and Frozen. So, the answer is “Yes?”

The Last Jedi is not your typical Star Wars film, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. There are moments of brilliance from director Rian Johnson, who is trying to lift the franchise and add complexity. However, other moments feel like the worst parts from a low budget Marvel film.

Is The Last Jedi Worth Watching?

The answer lies in one particular scene that sums up the future of Star Wars and why this chapter is worth watching. That scene is between Luke Skywalker and Yoda. The Last Jedi had its fair share of ups and downs, but its greatest scene was when Yoda visited Luke on Ahch-To as a Force ghost, the conversation he had with Luke featured one of the Jedi master’s best quotes in the franchise.

“The greatest teacher, failure is.”

Yoda’s statement was exactly what Luke needed to hear at the time as it inspired him to overcome the mistakes he made in the past and finally come out of exile. That scene was good enough to have even gone on to influence and improve the entire franchise after it.

Yoda’s quote perfectly captures the entire theme of Star Wars The Last Jedi. As the film would suggest, even legendary figures like Luke Skywalker are not flawless, and they can still fail even after their greatest triumph.

The use of failure in the Master-apprentice relationship is evident throughout the modern Star Wars films and series. With the New Jedi Order, Rey will be seen training the next generation of Jedi as she has the chance to grow beyond Luke Skywalker’s failures in The Last Jedi.

Despite its flaws and controversies, the film remains a significant chapter in the ongoing saga of a galaxy far, far away. Perhaps the Yoda and Skywalker scene is why The Last Jedi is number one on Disney+ OR people just like seeing Luke milk a Thala-Siren – Different strokes for different folks!
