Okay, not going to talk a lot about this since many have yet to watch it. I watched Star Wars: The Last Jedi yesterday when it opened in the theaters here.
It is a stunningly well made movie with great effects (what else can you expect from ILM?), although at two and a half hours, it is a bit long, with the pace of the movie slowing down quite a bit at some points. Still, a wonderful movie for Star Wars fans.
Like Star Wars: The Force Awakens, there were many scenes which basically reenacted scenes from Episodes 4 to 6. I won't talk about which scenes; that would be giving spoilers. It gave me mixed feelings. On one hand, it is honoring the past episodes by reenacting them, saying that they are masterpieces worthy of being copied and hard to surpass. On the other hand, there is always the hope that sequels will bring in something new, instead of reusing the old success formula.
The balance in the Force, between Light and Dark. That seems to be the underlying theme in 7 and 8. Still, we have to wait for Episode 9 before we know what this trilogy is really about. Meanwhile, fans can look forward to the next movie on Han Solo.
