Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review
Hayden's Overall Grade: B Finally the wait is over as Star Wars The Last Jedi has officially arrived in theaters. Star Wars fans around the world have been waiting for this moment since the end credits of Force Awakens two years earlier. The anticipation was at an all time high and people were counting down the minutes until the opening crawl began to move across the screen. Surprisingly, what followed in the next two and a half hours was a shocking, twisting rollercoaster ride of emotional distress and jubilant celebration.

The Last Jedi
So obviously there might be some spoilers ahead. With the crowd and critics so divided about the movie, it's hard to not be on one side or the other. If you watched Star Wars for the first time, this movie was probably super amazing and you have no clue why some people are hating on it. However, if you're a true fanatic you're sitting there wondering how Disney managed to mess up your whole life's devotion to this one thing. I get it. I get both sides.

'Star Wars: The Last Jedi': A Review
Last night I went with a friend to see the much anticipated second film in the latest Star Wars trilogy, mysteriously sub-titled The Last Jedi. In typical Disney fashion, the secrets of this movie were on lockdown. Nobody knew what to expect other than what was fed to us by the posters, images, and trailers authorised for release by the studio. There was many a theory about what the posters signified, what the brief flashes of scenes in the trailers showed, many just wanting to know precisely what really was next in store for the Skywalker saga. I will note once again at this point, that this is my review of the movie, I'm making the decision not to steer clear of spoilers as I will be touching upon scenes and moments that really caught my attention and made me go "WOW!" that are ultimately spoilers.

The People vs. 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'. Top Story - December 2017.
'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' Well…you just had to want different, didn’t you? You just had to call The Force Awakens predictable and formulaic? It seems Rian Johnson was listening and said fair enough everyone, not-your-father’s Star Wars it is, then. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is what you deserve.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi - A Review
Let me just say one thing before I get into the review: this is going to be spoiler free, so have no fear of me crushing your hopes and dreams for this movie. That being said, without giving away any pivotal plot points, it's going to be difficult to convey everything I want to, so a follow up analysis of the movie will probably be coming up with spoilers, but this is going to be an overall look at the film, what I thought of it, and what it means for the franchise.

Carrie Fisher, 'The Last Jedi,' and Nuance
I will preface this by saying that there will be #nospoilers in this post about Carrie Fisher and #TheLastJedi. Watching The Last Jedi was a surprisingly emotional experience in some respects. I've always enjoyed watching Carrie Fisher as everyone's favorite galactic princess; she was feisty and tough and every bit the fearless female that I hope my girls grow into being. Certainly, as my family and I were lined up for the 9:30 pm showing of The Last Jedi, I was not particularly thinking that this would be Carrie Fisher's last cinematic ride, but the moment she stepped on screen, it hit me.

Darkness Rose and Light Met It
Do you feel it? The anticipation building in the auditorium. The murmurs of questions unanswered. The feeling buzzing in your fingertips. And then it begins. The triple notes. The dark screen and the preface of a distance time and a galaxy not our own, children of all ages inhale a collective breath and cheering erupts from the seats. This is the moment we have all been waiting for. It is not the first and it will not be the last time. Yet this time is more exciting than the last.

Snoke Is Not Dead in the Last Jedi
*Spoilers for the latest Star Wars movie. If you haven't seen it stay away So you just came back from the Last Jedi. You saw it, liked it but can't figure out how Supreme Leader Snoke, the ultimate badass villain since Palpatine, became shish kebobed by his traitorous apprentice in the ultimate betrayal by a dark sider since Palpatine killed Plagueis. Kylo assumes the mantle of the supreme leader, and henceforth we see no more of Snoke....

Thank You, Mark Hamill
Mark Hamill - thank you. I have been a fan of your Star Wars work from the moment you stepped on screen, and I will admit, I felt cheated at the end of The Force Awakens. Your entrance just 58 seconds before the end credits started rolling left me stunned; just what the hell was happening?

Movie Review: 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
The nostalgia is no longer mine when it comes to Star Wars. A new generation of fans has picked up the mantel and while I still have strong feelings for my childhood favorite film series, it no longer belongs to me and my generation. Star Wars: The Last Jedi affirms the fact that the franchise has transcended what George Lucas created and morphed into something new. Does that mean I didn’t enjoy it? No, it just means that all things pass and while Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a fine movie, it’s no longer something I have deep feelings about.

The Last Jedi Review (Non-Spoiler)
Now, I'm not Variety or Holly Willoughby, so you'll find no spoilers here. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the eighth film in the Star Wars franchise and the sequel to 2015's very successful The Force Awakens, but does it match that? Does it surpass it? In some ways yes, and in some no.

The 'Star Wars' Radio Dramas
'A New Hope' Perhaps one of the greatest science fiction movies of the twentieth century, Star Wars has captured the hearts of millions and lost a few of them along the way as the series went back in time. Of course, I’m talking about the prequels, but that’s not the purpose of this review.
