Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
The second movie in the Star
Wars Sequel Trilogy, the
eighth in the main series. (Is it the tenth overall?). Rey is on the
island with Luke Skywalker, and the Resistance is on the run from the
First Order. There are several plot lines or 'arcs' in this film.
Rey's growth, Luke coming of his shell, the plight of the Resistance,
Poe Dameron being desperate to keep fighting, Finn and Rose
connecting while they go after a codebreaker, Kylo Ren trying to get
under from Snoke's shadow. Where to start?
Of course, there's also Leia's role
as the General in charge of the Resistance. (Certainly Fisher's
passing has made this more poignant than it would have been
otherwise.) Each of these storylines are rather good (even if the
scenes on the casino planet seem a little disconnected from what else
is going on), every character undergoes changes as they face their
challenges. Rey's interactions with Luke help her grow in her Force
power (even if he's afraid of it), and try to answer the question
about her parents.
But it's a connection with Kylo Ren
that drives the main change in events, and helps bring about the
survival of the Resistance. A very interesting and fun movie 9.25/10.
