Last Jedi was way better than the last one, but two scenes really spoil it.1. Where Leia suddenly becomes all 'I can do magic, me'.
2. It would have been way, way more impressive if Luke had turned up, got shot to f*ck, then all the time he was bragging about coming back as a ghost and not leaving any footprints he already was a ghost. Instead he's all 'Ah fooled you, I was sat on this rock all the time. I'm safe. Nothing to worry about. Might as well die though anyway. LoL'.

Or it was brilliant because it finally revealed that Leia can use the force (and to such a level that she can dodge death)
I'm not following what you disliked about Luke's bit. I assumed he died from the enormous strain of doing space magic stuff, not that he just died for lols

Really? I assumed Luke died because Hamill didn't want to do any more films.What you should really be asking yourself, though, is why all that dakka didn't make so much as a dent in the ground...
The bit with Leia was just silly, hence my little outburst.

Totally agree.You've got an actor who is still alive, and a dead actress, so why kill off the alive actor's character and keep alive the dead actress's character?
Dumb!

So Leia should have fought Kylo with a lightsabreand Luke should have been blown in to space but survived? Not quite sure how they'd shoehorn that in to the otherwise finished film
Edit - hold on, are you saying they knew Carrie Fisher was going to die in advance? If that's true then yeah, ok, I agree they probably should have had Leia die on screen

She did die on screen, she got blasted into spaceThey could've cut the bit where she comes back, and edited her out of the rest of the film.
Maybe shot some kind of memorial ceremony for at the end.
Luke could have just not died, then joined up with the rebels physically in episode 9.
I reckon that would all have been doable.

Silly Star Wars for not rewriting and reshooting 75% of the filmand throwing away Carrie Fisher's last role

they didn't kill Kevin Spacey's characters off though, just swapped his face.Killing Leia would have meant rewriting three quarters of the film, getting all the other actors back in (if they weren't off shooting other films already) reshooting, restarting the fx work and ditching Carrie Fishers last work.
I think they made the right choice, let JJ Abrams work out how to deal with it. It's only a kids film, just say she went back to wherever Mary Poppins comes from.

I think 75% is a bit of an exaggeration Barbarossa is not my real name,
