Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke
Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile,
the Resistance prepares to do battle with the First Order. The Skywalker saga continues as
the heroes of The Force Awakens join the galactic legends in an epic
adventure that unlocks age-old mysteries of the Force and shocking
revelations of the past.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi successfully combines the thrill that's always been part of the saga with a fresh spin on the light/dark theme embedded into the epic tale. With plenty of twists and turns, a cohesive story and a good performance of drama and action, Star Wars: The Last Jedi blurs the lines between good and evil and instills a sense of hope for its moviegoers.
Adam Driver's performance as Kylo Ren is particularly outstanding, along with Mark Hamill's best performance as Luke Skywalker and Daisy Ridley (Rey) who's character is greatly developed upon in this film. The latest Star Wars seems far more interested in reinventing the franchise than merely re-reawakening it. This is true for both its narrative, and characters used to tell it. The Last Jedi as clichéd as it sounds has something for everyone. While fans will be more than satisfied, the film is blockbuster entertainment for the uninitiated as well. Star Wars has been with us for four decades now, telling that same essential story in a format that’s overwhelming. With wit, skill, and love, The Last Jedi takes up the torch and carries it for a new generation.
