I watched this after I did watch the Legendary Cut of the movie, which is slighlty better but still not great or even good. Interestingly this is called The Director and the Jedi instead of The Making off: The Last Jedi. Everyone should draw their own conclusion about that. It seems to dirtectly relate to the, shall we say, creative differences of opinion between Hamill and Johnson. It doesn't feel like a making of but rather like a commercial for teh director where at the end everyone agrees with him. There is so much unnessessary and downright stupid stuff in the movie and I get the feeling that Johnson's take was: "Hey I have this huge budget to spend, so, what the h*** let's spend it". Even if it does nothing for the story. I didn't like Johnson as a director/writer before but after seeing this I don't like him as a person as much as this is possible from not knowing someone at all. But you know, how there are certain people you know you just wouldn't get along with ? Like that. Those are the two major things I got out of this "documentary"
