As Luke struggles with the Jedi, Rey is trying to figure out who she is and her place in this fight. So here is Rey, lightsaber in hand, ready to bring the hero back to save the day. That happy ending we've enjoyed for decades is no more, replaced with the inevitable and more realistic provocations of life. This might be a hard thing for people to come to terms with. Happy endings are only the beginning of another chapter, and as Luke and Leia and Han celebrated on Endor all those years ago, they began another phase of life with its own challenges. He's struggling with his faith, his shortcomings as a teacher, and his decision to abandon his friends and their cause.Īs we see how time has changed this cinematic icon, it's a reminder that our most beloved stories are never over.
He's seen so much, and he's accomplished so much-but he has failed, too. That light in his eye, which we saw as the shaggy headed dreamer on Tatooine four decades ago, has almost flickered out. The Last Jedi is Mark Hamill's greatest performance as Luke Skywalker. But following his failure with Kylo Ren, Luke is unwilling to take on another pupil and has lost faith in the Jedi teachings. Meanwhile, Rey is on Ahch-To, where she found Luke Skywalker and the ancient Jedi temple. The Last Jedi explores the nuances of morality and psychology in a much more complex fashion than any Star Wars that's come before it. But I can happily say that, with a few minor details aside, this is not a remake of Episode V. And going into Rian Johnson's continuation of the saga, many were concerned that The Last Jedi would be very similar to The Empire Strikes Back. Abrams's revival of the Star Wars franchise, which many critiqued as being narratively too close to the original (with yet another Death Star and everything). The Last Jedi picks up immediately after the events of The Force Awakens, J.J. The truth is, however, that good and evil exists on a spectrum, and The Last Jedi explores these nuances of morality and psychology in a much more complex fashion than any Star Wars that's come before it. Heroes and villains are tempted one way or the other, but rarely does the human condition get more complicated than these two poles. There's the light side and the dark side. For more than 40 years, the Star Wars movies have existed in a galaxy with a binary philosophy: There's good, and there's bad.
