Overview
Daniel considers Star Wars: The Last Jedi to be the worst film in the franchise, criticizing its characters, humor, pacing, and treatment of legacy characters like Luke Skywalker.
Daniel found new characters such as Poe, Finn, and the newly introduced Asian female character to be poorly written, unlikable, and harmful to the narrative.
Daniel alleges that Hollywood intentionally casts unattractive non-white actors alongside attractive white actors in multiracial casts.
Daniel takes issue with specific plot sequences, including General Leia surviving the vacuum of space, the interim Resistance leader's arc, and Luke Skywalker facing Kylo Ren as a Force projection instead of engaging in a physical lightsaber duel.
Daniel lacks interest in Episode 9 and predicts Rey will defeat Kylo Ren and train new Force-sensitive children following the demise of classic characters.
