Star Wars: Episode VIII, The Last Jedi

Okay, same drill as before, serious spoilers redacted for a week...

There was a moment that had me simultaneously thinking it was a bit fanfic and making devil horns.

Rose is great. Rey, Finn, Poe and BB-8 remain great. Kylo Ren is still a great response to how to follow Darth Vader, and complaints that he’s not that scary are addressed..

Ade Edmondson?!

Comparisons to The Empire Strikes Back are inevitable, but only really fit with the Jedi training sequences. Tonally it’s very light, possibly too jokey in places? That might actually be my biggest complaint, and it’s not that big a deal.

The two-and-a-half-hour run time means we cover a lot of ground. Where next...?
