Star Wars: The Last Jedi or The Lost Plot?

I cannot imply that The Last Jedi is a bad movie. But I can’t tell you that it’s amazing.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi or The Lost Plot?
Star Wars Movie Review

I watched "The Last Jedi" twice. The first time I watched it just to see it. Just to get the experience of being uncomfortably sandwiched between two people with the smell of popcorn and sweat wafting in my nose. But don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, of course there was no problem with sitting between people. Besides, half an hour in, I forgot they're even there. And there’s a special feeling about sitting in the theater watching a movie for the first time, especially one that’s so popular that the theater is packed.

The movie started off strong. If you watched "The Last Jedi" right after watching "The Force Awakens", you would barely see a split in the storyline. It’s a seamless progression of story. We go right from the Resistance destroying Starkiller base to the First Order sending its destroyers and dreadnoughts to the Resistance base. But overall, this was one of the only parts of the movie that made any sense. After the First Order destroys the base, then the quality starts to go downhill.

It became disjointed and random, and refused to answer questions we had from Episode VII. They created tons of new questions in addition to the questions we already had. It seemed like the movie catered to people wanting 2.5 hours of chaos. There was way too much shooting, explosions, and death, and not enough actual plot. Snoke died, but we still don't know his origin story. And now Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader. All of it is very confusing.

In a short summary, I cannot imply that The Last Jedi is a bad movie. But I can’t tell you that it’s amazing. It continues the story, and makes a little sense. My biggest concern is that they won't have enough time to wrap up the story in a neat and new way in the last movie. Even though probably everyone has already seen it, I can’t recommend you watch it. On a five-star system, I can only give it a 3 out of 5.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
