Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Two years ago, the Star Wars saga returned with a brand new trilogy focused on a new generation of heroes and villains from a galaxy far far away in The Force Awakens. We've witnessed every pulse-pounding moments from our new favorite characters such as Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren, and many others, including returning legends from the past installments. It's hard for a dedicated Star Wars fan not to spoil everything but The Force Awakens is two years ago and now it's time for the continuation of the saga with The Last Jedi.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Picking up where the last film left off, The Last Jedi continues the tale of Rey as her fateful encounter with the legendary Jedi warrior Luke Skywalker changes everything while the Resistance, led by General Leia (played by the late Carrie Fisher) waged war against what remains of the First Order.

The film brings back Daisy Ridley as Rey, John Boyega as Finn, Adam Driver as the villainous Kylo Ren, as well as legends such as Mark Hamill as Luke and like I said, the late Carrie Fisher as General Leia. 

We had to admit that ever since Carrie Fisher passed away, there could be speculations regarding the fate of the character in this film and while keeping it true to every Star Wars fandom, I shouldn't spoil about it but while this film is a parting gift for the legend herself, this film puts every fans theories to the test because this film is going to be like The Empire Strikes Back all over again because the revelations you'd expect from the middle chapter of The Force Awakens saga will shock every viewers to the last minute and when they got out from the theaters after seeing this film, they'll have a lot of questions to talk back at home. A LOT OF QUESTIONS because some of you might think the ugly truth will shatter your skulls like an emotional sledgehammer.

Emotional sledgehammer aside, The Last Jedi is a definitive way to start the holiday season with a bang and for the folks from Disney and LucasFilm, this is a masterpiece even a First Order Stormtrooper shouldn't miss it because with such shocking storyline, new and returning characters alike, and the edge-of-your-seat thrills, this is the Star Wars film you would definitely want to see before the next one arrives many many years from now and as you would expect in the middle bit of the saga, it's a risky struggle to survive your way through the end of this lengthy film and before the next film arrives, chances are you're having hangovers about how great this film is.

My rating: 4.7 out of 5.
