Given her unfortunate passing, it was wonderful to see her in the role of Princess Leia as she displayed a beautiful blend of strength, leadership and love through her character. The most touching performance that will hit you right in the feels will be Carrie Fisher’s role. She was a very unexpected character in a supporting role that simply delivers to the very end of the film. I absolutely loved Kelly Marie Tran’s performance as “Rose”. Star Wars: The Last Jedi Now, let’s talk about some of these great characters! In my opinion, the supporting characters seemed to have outshined the main leading characters. The humor was not shoe-horned in nor did it completely really distract or disrupt the tonality of the movie. I think the reason why this worked was because the humor made sense within the story. I don’t want to say that the movie was comedic, but it did have some funny moments sprinkled throughout. For a moment, I almost thought I was watching Spaceballs (1987). Star Wars: The Last Jedi As previously mentioned, Johnson included the infusion of so much more humor compared to other Star Wars films. Beyond even that, The Last Jedi will challenge what we thought we knew about the Force. I thoroughly enjoyed the radical new ways that the Force could be used in the film. you’ll know it when you see it, but I can honestly say I’ve never seen a spaceship do what was done in that iconic sequence. And without question, there’s one particular scene with a spaceship that can only be described as epic! That scene is so jaw dropping, that the sound is masterfully muted to match the level of suspense that the audience is feeling at that time. The usage of the environment and terrain was stunning in some scenes. Maybe I’m being a prisoner of the moment, but I can’t recall a more visually stimulating spaceship battle. The amazing visuals were simply captivating in this film. The overall cinematography of this movie must be praised as well. I thought it was brilliant how the film brings about a number of different lessons and themes through each of the experiences of the individual characters. One of those elements was to ensure that The Last Jedi was full of those “Star Wars Life Lessons”. Johnson did stay true to some classic Star Wars elements. With the way the movie ends, the field is now wide open with where the next Star Wars movie can go. Johnson successfully does that by avoiding almost all expectations Star Wars fans may have had going into the film. (I can see why Disney has entrusted him to take on the new spinoff Star Wars trilogy.) One of my hopes with this movie was that it would really start to create its own original path in the Star Wars movie franchise. Star Wars: The Last Jedi Director/writer Rian Johnson deserves so much credit and praise for this film. There’s a nice balance of suspense, action, drama, and humor. Not only that, but there are so many climatic moments that will leave on you on the edge of your seat. While there are obvious callbacks to previous characters and such, the Last Jedi does not become a modern day version of The Empire Strikes Back. Fortunately, the movie doesn’t entirely rely on the nostalgia factor as much as The Force Awakens. That sets the tone for the nice amount of nostalgia the film creates. When the opening credits roll, it almost feels like you’re being transported back into time with the classic Star Wars music blasting, and the intro opening text.
