That may threaten some, but to me, it's the most exciting development in the Star Wars saga for quite some time. Word broke recently that Johnson will forge a brand new Star Wars trilogy removed from the ongoing Skywalker saga, and The Last Jedi almost feels like a test pilot for that, a film that says there's so much more to this universe than sacred texts. With The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson attempts to tell Star Wars fans that it's okay to let the past go, that staying firmly rooted in one safe space is limiting, and that there's an entire galaxy out there to explore. When the full trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi hit the web, there was particular emphasis given to one of Mark Hamill's lines: "This is not going to go the way you think." It was almost as if both Luke and director Rian Johnson were dropping a not-so-subtle hint about what was in store for audiences with the new Star Wars film: whatever it is you imagined would happen whatever fan theory you obsessed over between the release of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi whatever assumption you made – chuck them all into the trash, because this is not going to go the way you think. Our The Last Jedi spoiler review takes a deep dive into this wonderful, unpredictable new entry in the Star Wars saga.


A film that both rejects and embraces legacy a film that takes characters we've grown to love and exposes their flaws, while also revealing that they're more than their flaws. Johnson resists fan service at nearly every turn, crafting the most surprising, most exciting film in the entire Star Wars franchise. With Star Wars: The Last Jedi, writer-director Rian Johnson takes the Star Wars saga into uncharted territory. In this entry: Rian Johnson's exciting, unpredictable Star Wars: The Last Jedi.)
