Yet, for the Last Jedi, if it wasn't for the deaths, there is basically NO CHANGE! The movie is basically a waste of time to watch.

Maybe you didn't read the essay, but Hulk explains exactly how for almost every character there IS a change. Huge changes.

• First, I saw you post this as you posted it. I (silently) gave you a chance to... double check what you were saying.
  
  
• Second, with gleeful irony I might add, if you read MY whole post, you'd see that at the point that I posted that, I had not yet read... well... skimmed (again as mentioned) over the part where he does his autopsy over each characters story. Since you apparently missed that part of my ramble (:P), I denote editing as an issue and stop there. I'll add it would take longer for me to write out, and would be far easier to show. Unfortunately, AS MUCH as I would like to make my own edit, time is not my friend currently. So I'll just end this with the next part if my quote above;

The first half is about "killing the past", then then 2nd half REFUTES THE FIRST HALF!

The story does change throughout,yet we return to where we started. Unlike say Mad Max: Fury Road, there is basically no change in our characters. They are still the same. There COULD have been change, it's in the story, but we don't get it. Short of the deaths, there is little committed. An example; Kylo is still conflicted. he went through all this conflict, and he ended up the same, sans rank. Kylo easily has the better arc of them all, but for some reason they couldn't just commit to the options of change! He ultimately ends up where he started. Conflicted and I'll add Alone. He progressed, but didn't.
