Went to Last Jedi midnight opening here in Adelaide. Well well impressed, some great development/breaking down of the mythology as well as great action, incredible comedy at times, and all round good Star Wars ride again. Also, Mark Hamill's Skywalker masterpiece. He's equally heartbreaking as he is funny as F**k.
Was so hyped about Last jedi, but to my dismay, It wasn't as good as I thought It'd be 
Better than FA, but I rank the older triolgy + Rogue one better!
I think most would rank the older trilogy better, and I definitely agree on Rogue as I just loved getting a different aspect of the universe. But over hyping yourself up for these movies expecting the same experience as the original trilogy is hyping yourself up for an impossibility. Whatever Star Wars you grew up loving is what you will always put on the pedestal. I know people who's first introduction was the prequel trilogy and genuinely say they're their favourite. Just my two cents, not bagging you at all either, more my general thoughts as I see similar comments a lot and wonder exactly what people are expecting, and when I ask they genuinely don't know
I just hope for good entertainment, good writing (as the prequels suffered horrifically on that front) and a story that can be as outlandish as it wants as long as it makes sense for the universe. Star Wars has always had a massive suspension of disbelief that I'm more than happy to F**k along with. There's some great themes of real life/world sh*t that get injected in places in this one I particularly liked, showing that Star Wars has somewhat matured to be socially conscious as well. But at the same time, just a F***ing fun ride and I can't wait to see it again!
