Last Jedi set to be epic
MOVIE: Star Wars: The Last Jedi STARRING: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Mark Hamill SHOWING AT: Grand Central RATING: M
THE long-awaited continuation of the Star Wars saga from director Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi continues the new era of storytelling for a galaxy far, far away.
The film follows the heroes of The Force Awakens which was set 30 years after the events of Return of the Jedi.
Having taken her first steps into the Jedi world, Rey (Daisy Ridley) is now on a journey after locating the exiled Jedi Mater Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) as well as Leia (Carrie Fisher), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac) to unlock mysteries of the Force and secrets of the past.
It has been 34 years and finally we will get to see siblings Leia (now a General and a leader of the Reistance) and outcast Luke in the same film.
The Last Jedi promises to be an emotional roller-coaster, especially for fans of the original trilogy due to the passing of Fisher after principal photography was shot.
We last saw Rey finding Luke after his nephew Ben Solo (Adam Driver) aka Kylo Ren and son of Leia and Han, had turned to the dark side.
While little has actually been revealed about director Rian Johnson’s Episode VIII, the stakes are most certainly high for Leia, who is suffering the inner turmoil of her son having murdered Han, bringing a tragic end to Harrison Ford’s time in the franchise. Star Wars: The
Last Jedi opens today.
