Still, The Last Jedi belongs to Hamill in a portrayal that cuts to the core of what Star Wars means to a generation of dreamers looking to the heavens.
#STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI FULL MOVIE IN ENGLISH DRIVER#
Ridley and Driver knock it out of the park as Rey and Ren, two characters drawn together by a Force neither understands. The actors are stellar in big roles and small. But the way Johnson, who’s slated to direct three more Star Wars films with unfamiliar characters, balances the skyrocketing action with tender feeling keeps you emphatically in the game.
The screen is so crowded with character and incident that you might need a scorecard to keep up. It’s simply too long at two hours and 36 minutes – and sometimes too damn much. The Last Jedi marks a sad farewell to Fisher, who died a year ago and whose slyly comic and deeply felt performance shows again why she’s irreplaceable. Fighter pilot Poe Dameron (a dashing Oscar Isaac) has his own misgivings about Vice-Admiral Holdo (Laura Dern), the autocrat who takes command when Leia is knocked out of commission. Benicio del Toro is the life of the party as a thief and codebreaker no one can trust. Ex Stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega), proud to be called “rebel scum,” teams up with newbie Rose ( Kelly Marie Tran), a mechanic with skills to plan a daring rescue for the Resistance. Old friends are back, including R2-D2, C-3PO and the immortal Chewbacca. Just when you think you know where this movie is going, Johnson pulls the rug out from under you. That would be Ben Solo, aka Kylo Ren ( Adam Driver), who last time out killed his own father and now gives his mom, Leia, no end of heartache. The goal: to find AWOL Jedi master Luke Skywalker ( Mark Hamill) and drag his depressed hermit ass back to save the galaxy and whip sense into his conflicted nephew. Resistance fighter Rey ( Daisy Ridley) has traveled to the isolated island of Ahch-To, the site of the Jedi Order’s first temple. The Resistance, led by Princess Leia ( Carrie Fisher) – she’s now a general – is again fighting the evil First Order, commanded by Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis in peak motion-capture form). Abrams left off in 2015’s The Force Awakens. Directed by Rian Johnson, the movie boasts several strong female characters, including both Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Leia (Carrie Fisher), as well as diversity within the Resistance and strong messages of courage, teamwork, hope, and loyalty.The plot picks up where director J.J. Language is tame, with a few uses of words including "damn," "what the hell," "shut up," and the like. Characters also drink cocktails in a luxury casino. Adam Driver's Kylo Ren appears shirtless in one scene for no apparent reason other than to fluster a female character, and there's an odd shot of a character milking a lactating creature and then drinking the milk. Romance-wise, expect to see one quick, chaste kiss, and some slightly uncomfortable tension between two other characters. A few times it seems like characters are near death, but they recover. There's one rather explicit death (though it's not bloody), and several people die in battle, in some cases sacrificing themselves for their mission.
It takes place right after the events of that movie and is just as violent, with several battles, explosions, space chases, and close-up duels. Parents need to know that Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is part of the billion-dollar Star Wars saga, continuing the segment of the story that began in The Force Awakens.
