![]() ![]() His last great failure (letting Ben Solo become Kylo Ren) was so disastrous and awful, that he completely turned himself off from the Force. One of the big ones comes straight from Yoda, who tells Luke: " failure - the most important lesson of them all." Luke has had to learn this lesson many times in his life (just go watch Empire Strikes Back, you'll understand) and now it's more important than ever. Note: this review contains spoilers to discuss everything that happens, so only read if you're ready.Īfter 3 complete viewings, I feel I've been able to identify the key themes of Rian Johnson's The Last Jedi that are very strong and vital when examining the whole movie and its influence. That said, there's still so much to it (not only to discuss) but to admire and appreciate and learn from. But overall, the movie isn't one of my favorites this year (it won't be on my Top 10). I very much like it, and I enjoy it, and there are some moments and some parts I love. To jump right into this I will say up front, even after 3 viewings, I still don't quite "love" The Last Jedi (some of the humor still makes me cringe). For me, however, it's a refreshing and exciting movie that gives us something different and still packs a punch. To some, this seems to be frustrating and upsetting - it's not what they wanted to see, or were expecting, and it doesn't deliver in some ways. This year's new Star Wars movie is unlike any Star Wars movie we've seen before.
