Ever since The Last Jedi was released, there has been a vocal (albeit relatively small) percentage of fans who are furious about it. Some of these complaints can easily be dismissed because they are rooted in sexism, while others have taken to harassing the actors and people involved with the film and should be largely [...]
The Last Jedi is the longest Star Wars film to date, but there's a lot more that could have been in there too. The home release of the movie recently brought with it a ton of additional bonus content, including fourteen deleted scenes! Rian Johnson explains that these scenes were cut primarily because of pacing [...]
With the upcoming home release of The Last Jedi, we will be getting plenty of bonus material - including a lot of deleted scenes. Director Rian Johnson has said publicly that the reasoning for cutting these scenes was mainly due to pacing, not because of something wrong with the scenes themselves, and it sounds like [...]
The Last Jedi has been out for a while now, and people have had a chance to digest the film. Many loved it, some hated it, and some are in-between. That's what you'd expect with any movie, really, especially one as highly-anticipated as this one. Some criticisms of the film can just be dismissed out [...]

If you haven't seen it, we get only a few glimpses of the scene, but it's definitely interesting nonetheless (the new stuff begins at the 3:55 mark): https://twitter.com/starwars/status/956255289191223296 Rian Johnson actually explained [...]
Earlier today, the nominees for the 90th annual Academy Awards were announced, and The Last Jedi has been nominated for four awards: best visual effects, best original score, best sound editing, and best sound mixing. With its four nominations, The Last Jedi is tied for the third-most Oscar nominations amongst Star Wars films, behind A [...]
After nine viewings of The Last Jedi, I can certainly say in agreement with many viewers that the Canto Bight sequence is probably the least interesting in the film.
