Second Film of Choice at The Plaza Dorchester Today - Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I have heard rumours of people campaigning to get this latest instalment removed from the whole Star Wars franchise.......why people, why???? This film deserves its place in the telling of the Jedi story. True the beginning is a little bitty, but we need to be reminded of where all the characters have got to on their journey through this well loved collection of tales brought from the far reaches of the Galaxy. We have travelled long and far from that young man on Tatooine fixing moisture vaporators for his aunt and uncle, indeed our cinema going experiences have changed much in the ensuing years and it goes without saying that the latest episode of a franchise like Star Wars has to become updated both with the times and the technology. The Last Jedi is edge of your seat stuff, bigger battles, bigger losses, bigger egos and some really cute critters. The story zigzags all over the place and at times you have no idea where it is going to lead. We are introduced to some new faces but it's reassuring to see the likes of Chewbacca, R2D2 and even the infuriating C3PO back on our screens. The effects, as always were outstanding, and once again you are left with questions at the end of the film. I always sit and watch the credits and the list of people involved in making this film was staggering, all necessary and all deserving our thanks for making it possible.
