Kylo Ren ( Adam Driver) struggles to embrace the Dark Side while hot shot pilot Poe Dameron ( Oscar Isaac) desperately fights to save his companions on the run. Rey ( Daisy Ridley) does her best to bring Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill) out of his self imposed exile as the Leia’s ( Carrie Fisher) Resistance tries to escape the First Order. On the surface, the story driving The Last Jedi is straight forward. “This Is Not Going to Go The Way You Think” source: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/IMDB But overall, this is one of the more ambitious, and more importantly great, Star Wars movies. There is one that almost took me out of the movie. However, The Last Jedi does falter with some odd plot choices that don’t always add up. The film doesn’t give us the answers we expect, leading to some great plot turns that will make you cheer, laugh or cry. Visually beautiful, the film tells a dire story about heroes, meaningful sacrifices, and legend versus reality. Star Wars: The Last Jedi is an exciting change to the Star Wars saga, completely turning every fan’s expectations on their heads. So it’s especially impressive seeing writer/director Rian Johnson take some very real chances with what many see as sacred material and be successful. It’s an intimidating task for any filmmaker to take any kind of chance with the beloved franchise. Star Wars films come with certain expectations.
