A character claims the second Death Star/Battle of Endor is where the "last war ended." In actuality, in the canon expanded universe, the war went on for another year, culminating with the Battle of Jakku and the subsequent Imperial surrender. As Disney spearheaded their own expanded universe and undid all that had come before, it's odd they'd make this mistake. See more »
I've been watching the film's since I was kid on Betamax. The original trilogy was great, but fans hold them as the greatest movies of all time and anything that doesn't fit their imagination of what the next movie will be like, is a disappointment to them. Out of this trilogy, I found Force Awakens was great, The Last Jedi was ok as a kids film. The love story they tried to force left a bad taste in my mouth, but this film nicely redeems the trilogy. I didn't find any annoying characters, the storyline was predictable but entertaining. Remember that it's a kids/family movie, as were all of the other films. Disregard all the extremely poor reviews by the "fans" that are angrily typing their reviews in their parents basements. This was a nice ending to the saga
