Why The Last Jedi Is the best Star Wars ever

Rating: 10/10 (14 December 2017)

I had massive hopes going into this movie. I could quote Star Wars before I could run. For me, Star Wars was how I related to my dad, how we communicated. Now, as a film student, Star Wars has become a point of contention. My classmates don't have time for this kind of popularist enternatiment, despite my attempts to change them.
In comes The Last Jedi. Rian Johnson, one of all time favourite writers and directors was given the mantle of a new Star Wars. I was beyond excited. I was manic. In rolls the title scrawl and from that moment I was hooked. This is a film made my a die hard fan and it shows in every scene. The amount of twists and turns keeps you rooted to your seat. True, there are scenes in the film that shouldn't be there, if written by a lesser writer. The fact that there are moments that make my inner geek happy to be alive proves that new CAN be epic.
I've read some terrible reviews of the film, and every one makes me sad because those people decided to ignore how amazing this film truly is. This film cannot ruin your childhood. In fact it might just make a whole new generation of Star Wars fans.
This is the new bar for what Star Wars can be. Embrace it. And it will make you all the more richer.
