I weighed myself at the gym last night. The weighing machine at the gym said I was 12 stone, but it also said I was 5 foot 7 so I think we are in the land of the machine error.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Somewhat jokingly, after I'd watched it, I suggested other names for Star Wars: The Last Jedi on twitter. They do sum up my problems with the film quite well.

( Star Wars: This Could Have Been So Much Better )

( Star Wars: Poor Communication Kills )

( Star Wars: 'Talyn, Starburst' )

( Star Wars: Maybe We Shouldn’t Have Been Mean About George Lucas’s Dialogue, They’re Stealing It 40 Years Later )

The acting is good. The SFX, the CGI-is-not-good-enough-to-do-feathers-yet of the Porgs notwithstanding, and a couple of Leia scenes that I suspect suffered due to the unfortunate occurrence, was solid. Ditto the direction.

That’s why I get annoyed, because so much of this was good, and it’s let down by the incoherence of the plot.
