An emotional rollercoaster

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2019)

Rian Johnson loves Star Wars. It's evident from the knowledge and respect it shows to the source material, the work of George Lucas.
But he doesn't stop there: The Last Jedi is by far the deepest movie of the franchise from the point of view of character development, taking its time to provide the audience with unprecedented insight not only of the heroes' motivations, but also the main villain's.
Coming out of the theatre, I defined the experience "an emotional rollercoaster". Johnson builds stakes like only the best directors can do, making us fear for the characters' fate at every turn, and delivering brave and unexpected plot twists in a rapid sequence that left me breathless.
I loved every minute of the movie and became my favorite of the saga.
