Luke was right: "This is not going to go the way you think." #TheLastJedi will shatter you - and then make you whole again. pic.twitter.com/PJyYpH5loP

The best thing about THE LAST JEDI is the extremely sexual height difference between Oscar Isaac and Laura Dern

#StarWarsTheLastJedi floored me. @rianjohnson and the team nail so much - thrills, laughs, heart and most of all, pushing the characters/overall franchise a major step forward. Some really rich material to explore in the future. Can't wait for more.

Last Jedi disappointing. Can’t believe I liked Force Awakens better.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is so very different, exciting, surprising. So many emotions, so many amazing moments. Stay away from spoilers.

The Last Jedi is incredible. Character at the forefront, amazing action and so so so much emotional payoff decades in the making. I will be watching this one a lot. pic.twitter.com/KVOjLhwk27

#StarWarsTheLastJedi is great fun!! I’m not going to reveal anything except to say how great the cast is and how surprisingly funny it is. Luke Skywalker/Hamill & Leia/Fisher were awesome. Daisy rules.

Last year’s Rogue One premiere chose to invite the awards chatterers. This year’s SW did not. You connect the dots…

Congratulations to @rianjohnson for making a fantastic Star Wars movie. #TheLastJedi

There is a LOT to love about #StarWarsTheLastJedi. There are scenes, characters and moments that are flat-out AMAZING. There are also scenes, characters and moments that I don’t think work very well, for a variety of reasons. It’ll be fun to talk about, that’s for sure.

I TOTALLY CRIED

STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI was... OK. These movies just aren't for me. This one has its moments (loved Kylo Ren, and Rose is a nice addition) but it's too long & doesn't soar til 3rd act. Not a Best Picture nominee, I'm afraid. Porgs & Benicio are kinda wasted too. Overall, mixed.
