STAR WARS EPISODE VIII: THE LAST JEDI (Theatrical Release USA 2017)
Ben
Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi—good movie—does not capture the original magic
present in the first 6 Star Wars stories partially due to the overwhelming
presence of alien or alien-related stories in the entertainment market. It has
tendency to play on the level of a good science fiction movie and uses familiar
music and story theme to generate nostalgic interaction with the movie. But that may
fail to generate the same enthusiasm for the story for younger audiences as
much as for seasoned audiences. Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, and Carrie
Fisher perform their character roles at the same level as in the last film
while Mark Hamill does not increase the movie’s value. John Boyega creates
energy and drives the onscreen charisma. The Star Wars spirit is not present
within the iteration of the new films.

Thanks
Thank you to Director
Rian Johnson for directing effort. Thank you to Producers Kathleen Kennedy and

Skywalker (Mark Hamill), General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), Kylo Ren (Adam
Driver), Rey (Daisy Ridley), Finn (John Boyenga), Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac), andSupreme
Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis).
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This
movie sets in place the idea that something better than the Jedi is about to
emerge to usher in an entirely new era that does not depend upon resistance as
much as something new. It’s a good watch but operates without the magic of the
first Star Wars stories produced by George Lucas.
