But what it definitely does is stir the pot with ambivalence on both sides of the good-and-evil equation: Just as Luke is ready to pack it in as far as perpetuating the Jedi tradition is concerned, so does Kylo Ren begin to question his abandonment of his true legacy the tables keep turning here, which is desirable from the dramatic point of view of sustaining fan excitement about what’s in store two years from now and beyond.
#STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI BAD FEELING SERIES#
Hardcore series devotees will decide to what extent the new film functions in an equivalent way to how The Empire Strikes Back did in the initial trilogy in 1980.
Commercially, Disney is counting on another haul soaring past a billion dollars in worldwide theatrical box office alone. Loaded with action and satisfying in the ways its loyal audience wants it to be, writer-director Rian Johnson’s plunge into George Lucas’ universe is generally pleasing even as it sometimes strains to find useful and/or interesting things for some of its characters to do. Rather, this latest, and longest, franchise entry has the decided feel of a passing-of-the-torch from one set of characters, and actors, to the next.
Star Wars has now occupied a galaxy of its own in the zeitgeist for 40 years and shows no signs of disappearing anytime soon to the contrary, each new year brings a new Star Wars film of one kind or another, so using the word “last” in connection with anything to do with the series seems a bit disingenuous.
