The effects weren’t over-the-top, like in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace or its two sequels. Yes, we got into a ship with an unknown bomber, but she played an integral part in that battle I just mentioned. I didn’t have to follow some unknown droid or alien off into a dark alley, or watch a no-name alien feeding his cattle, or whatever. Star Wars: The Last Jedi shed the shine of its novelty and gained the sheen of a classic Star Wars movie by focusing on only two storylines, rather than haring off on side adventures: The battle between the First Order and the Resistance and what the heck is going on with the Force. They seemed like they’d been there the whole time. Johnson used Luke and Leia much more effectively than their rather teensy parts allowed in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s a brilliant combination of both the old world and the new. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a fantastic movie.
You can’t please ’em, and you can’t block ’em on Twitter fast enough.
I know one fanboy, in particular, who, upon seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens, said it was the same story all over again, and why couldn’t they do something new? Then, after seeing The Last Jedi, he said, that wasn’t the same Star Wars I know and love it was too different. Why did you think that Star Wars: The Last Jedi would be any different? Personally, I absolutely loved all the new character traits, Jedi mythology, alien races and places.ĭisclosure: Media Medusa receives a small commission, at no extra cost to you, if you purchase something through the affiliate links on this post.īefore I dig into all the new things writer-director Rian Johnson invented for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, I want to say that I don’t know what all these fanboys are up in arms about. Back when George Lucas made them, he loved nothing more than to geek out by creating new aliens and new worlds, then throwing in a yuck-yuck joke for good measure.
After seeing nine Star Wars movies, you should have expected some new and crazy stuff to show up in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
