I saw Star Wars: The Last Jedi before Christmas and I enjoyed it.
Many people have commented on the length of the film, but I didn't take much notice of it.
In this film we see how Luke Skywalker has become a changed man from the original trilogy, like Ben Kenobi at the start of the original trilogy, Luke is the one in exile now. Seeing Yoda performed as a puppet like in the original trilogy, it was a delight that he looked more real than a CGI character and he could still teach Luke a lesson or two about the Force.
Rey and Kylo Ren's relationship was something that developed over the course of the film, and we see that, like Darth Vader, Kylo Ren isn't full villain, but he did have some similar plans Vader had when he turned to the Dark Side. I look forward to seeing how their relationship will develop.
This film is the last to feature Carrie Fisher who died before the film was released and after she had filmed her scenes, and it brought a sense of sadness and hope that her scenes will have a meaning, such as the scenes when she see her with Luke before he confronts Kylo Ren. One that struck a cord with me was when the Resistance is abandoning their ship and Leia is talking to Holdo (played by Lauren Dern) and she's about to say the infamous line "May the Force be with you", Leia allows Holdo to say it, commenting something like "I've it a lot of times already". I now wonder how Leia will be explained in the next film, and hopefully we see a satisfying moment.
I enjoyed the film, and I look forward to seeing the next part of the sequel trilogy.
I hope that you'll come, see and enjoy at Eden Court.
