The Last Jedi: Review Redeaux

So last night we saw The Last Jedi made it to Netflix and wanted to give the film a second chance. Twenty minutes into the picture we thought, Why are we doing this to ourselves, and switched to Rogue-One, which is friggin' awesome.

We really like the way Felicity Jones plays Gin Urso in Rogue-One, and not just becuase we think she's adorable.  Of course we could stare at that pouty English face for hours, but still. Gin Urso has the MaGuffin, her father, but is vulnerable yet driven.

We've heard a lot of criticism that Gin Urso is just another 'Mary Sue' character, but we think director Gareth Edwards killed this trope early on. Remember Gin tries to get away from her Rebel rescuers, but is knocked flat and held upside down by K, the reprogrammed droid.

This is hardly the stuff of a 'Mary Sue'.
