The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars movie. Not since Empire, including Empire.

I tried to organize my thoughts on this masterpiece of a film, and it didn’t really work. Like, I have a dedicated section for Luke’s arc and Rey’s training, but eventually I just turned on the movie and went scene by scene. So, here’s why The Last Jedi is the greatest Star Wars movie ever. (And I say this as someone whose first movie was Return of the Jedi in 1983.)

Let’s get the bad out of the way first, because there’s so little of it. First, and the only decent-sized problem, the Canto Bight sequence isn’t bad, but the chase is paced poorly. Second, Luke should’ve used his green saber on Crait. He hadn’t used his dad’s in forever. I get that Rian was telegraphing “something’s off here,” but his drastically altered appearance and miraculous arrival should’ve been all we needed. Finally, and this is the smallest of nits to pick, I wish they had left in the crawl panning down to Finn’s recovery tank. I just think it would’ve been cool.

Okay, now on with the awesomeness!

First, the title is perfect. And the message contained within it is “What you want is not always what you need.”

The opening “Poe is a hotshot” sequence totally works. As evidenced by people who like him so much that they’re upset when he gets outranked. And it’s such a good extension of what we got in TFA. The “that’s one hell of a pilot!” sequence is so cool. So how does that character grow? He learns that you can’t solve every problem by getting in an X-Wing and blowing stuff up. It takes him a while to learn this lesson, but he has been a hotshot for a long time, I imagine.

Starting the movie with a pyrrhic victory is a perfect stage upon which to set the themes and motifs of failure that the movie explores.

The bombers are so visceral. I love it.

Captain Cannady is perfect.

Pour one out for Domhnall Gleeson’s stunt double. That nose break sounds ROUGH.

Luke is perfect in this movie and I will die on this hill. When Rey hands him the lightsaber, his face is perfectly “are you kidding me with this shit? How do you people not get it yet?” I imagine I’ll have a whole section about Luke later, so I’ll elaborate there.

“Where’s Han?” Perfect. Luke will do anything for his friends. The only way he didn’t show up in TFA was if he didn’t know.

Hux laughing at Ren when he goes to Snoke to face the music is wonderful. And then he destroys his mask after getting called out (because it is kinda ridiculous)? Chef’s kiss. Not to mention, this beautiful movie uses the protagonists AND the antagonists to explore ideas of failure? This movie is an absolute masterpiece.

“Who are you?” This whole scene. DAMN, Mark. You did not have to go this hard. This is some of the best acting in all of Star Wars. And then the absolute madman John Williams overlays the theme of the Force on top of it before souring it? Perfection.

The chase sequence OOZES Battlestar Galactica. There are so many throwbacks in this movie to the films and styles that influenced the original movies and I just can’t get enough of it. It really bugs me when people are like “where’s my dark and edgy Star Wars?” and “forget the Jedi, I want my adult themes!” Sure, with Disney+, eventually there will be a different take on these for everyone, but Star Wars has always been about camp and old serials and adventure, and this movie takes all of those things and elevates them. That’s so important for one of the main saga episodes. I simply cannot tell you how many times I’ve watched this movie.

Leia using the Force is wonderful, and I’m glad Carrie didn’t get to see the reactions to it before she passed. She’s not flying, get out of here with that Carrie Poppins bullshit. She’s using the Force, in a moment of absolute desperation, to pull herself to safety in an environment with literally no resistance. And she immediately loses consciousness and needs a half a movie’s worth of medical attention. Of course Leia can do that. It’s certainly not even the same level of ridiculousness as the helicopter-sabers, and yet I swear I see it getting more hate. This was a great moment. Don’t ruin it.

I wish Chewie had eaten the porg. It looked delicious.

Artoo changing Luke’s mind is so perfect it hurts. I was cheering in the theater.

Holdo is the perfect “the boss who comes in when your boss is out of commission.” Aside from the obvious sexists, I swear that most people who hate her have those feelings because they’ve been in that position. Where a relative stranger comes in and runs the show different from what you’re used to. But also, Poe is a hothead whose first impression is mansplaining to her. Of course she doesn’t tell him anything! (Also, she’s right about him being impulsive and dangerous. The blood of all the innocents on the transports that get destroyed at the end are absolutely on his hands.) And he immediately does the same thing to her!

Rose is great. And I’ll never forgive the awful people who bullied KMT off of social media, because she’s really just playing herself. She was so excited to be in Star Wars, and her character is someone who’s just so excited to be in the Resistance. We needed that kind of starry-eyed naivete from a character in this movie. Because it’s a pretty dark movie, and we need the silver lining and hope.

ForceTime is great. The cinematography for it absolutely draws us into their worlds and makes it seem like they’re next to each other. And by god, Daisy and Adam are wonderful when they play off each other. I can see why Reylos exist. (I mean, I don’t agree, but I get it - they have serious chemistry.)

I think the reason that the Canto Bight sequence doesn’t work for some people is that Finn and Rose’s failure is settling for the wrong person. It’s not a complicated or particularly nuanced failure, so spending so long it can feel tedious. And honestly, the chase exists because Rian knows how much George liked his chase sequences. Had it been shaved down by 3-5 minutes, I don’t think anyone would have a problem with it.

I kinda wish Rey and Luke’s duel had been with lightsabers. I get why it wasn’t, but it would’ve been visually fun.

Poe’s mutiny is great, because it’s totally believable the first time. You’re rooting for him. Then you watch it a second time and think, “oh dip - this dude needs to chill the hell out.” Totally well done.

Laura Dern clearly mouthing “pew pew” when she comes back through the smoke is adorable. Leia stunning Poe because she’s just so done with him is a perfect character moment for her.

Finn and Rose getting caught on the dreadnought floored me the first time I watched it. I thought, “Oh dang, how are they gonna push the macguffin button now?” Then, when I realized the answer was “they aren’t”, I realized how much Star Wars had conditioned me to think our heroes were infallible up to now. And they aren’t. And they shouldn’t be! Because when they screw up, it’s a totally compelling story! It gives us something to learn and grow from.

The throne room sequence is just so stunning. (Yeah yeah, I know about the editing mistake. The original Star Wars had a stormtrooper hit his head on a doorway. Shut up.) Andy Serkis is so menacing as Snoke. Even with that messed-up face and gold robe, he’s terrifying. And when Kylo Ren just snaps him in half? That’s an “oh damn” moment. Then, we expect Kylo to turn, because why would he kill his boss if he wasn’t a good guy now, and it’s because “Oh - he real ambitious.” And I love it. Beautifully done.

The Holdo maneuver works. “Why doesn’t everyone just do that?” Okay, well, kamikaze pilots are a thing - why doesn’t everyone do that? Oh - is it because it’s a waste of resources for questionable return? Their bombers managed to completely obliterate the other dreadnought. This move just disabled it, allowing tons of troops to evacuate and continue fighting. As a last-ditch effort, it was totally valid. And the sound editing around it is chilling.

Finn v Phasma is just so spectacular - and I mean that literally. Beautiful camera and effects work.

Fun fact for those of you who didn’t watch the extras - the Falcon’s path through the caves on Crait is a re-creation of the original Star Tours ride. Rian is such a deep and knowledgeable fan. We could’ve had so much more from him if people would just appreciate quality when it projects itself in front of them.

Luke and Leia together again? I’m dying. It’s so beautiful. Especially with “no one’s ever really gone” right after Carrie had died?

Also, I know I’m gonna talk about it in a second anyway, but Luke’s arrival on Crait is just. So. Fucking. Badass. When he brushes his shoulder off? A certain Jay-Z song comes to mind every time. That’s my Luke, right there.

Luke’s Arc

Luke has always been a hothead. That’s literally the whole plot of ESB. Yoda didn’t want to train him because there was too much of his father in him. He’s always “looking to the future, the horizon.” In RotJ, Vader makes an idle threat against Leia (when he doesn’t even know who she is,) and Luke flies off the handle and is just brutal in taking him down. Then, he realized that this was a problem, and he threw his saber away. Yay for growth! But here’s the thing - overcoming a problem once doesn’t mean that you’re immune to it forever after that. Can you imagine if it did? There would be no dieting industry. Yet Johnson manages to take Luke’s struggle through to a natural and evolved conclusion. He acts rashly when Leia’s legacy is threatened “for the briefest moment” (seriously, he says he had sensed the darkness, but when he took a peek, it was “beyond what he had ever imagined”), and it destroys his academy. The Rashomon sequence is perfect, but ending it with “The last thing I saw were the eyes of a frightened boy whose master had failed him.” Chef’s kiss. So he goes into exile, and here’s the wonderful bit - we know he’s acting rashly again, but he doesn’t think he is! He’s emulating the greatest Jedi he had known. He believes he is being selfless, and that by destroying himself, he can make the galaxy a better place. Yeah, we know he’s wrong - but he’s been stewing in his grief alone for a decade. Of course he’s not seeing past that.

Then along comes Yoda in the most emotionally beautiful scene in all of Star Wars. My wife pointed out that I stopped breathing during this scene. It. Is. Perfect. And one of the things that makes it so perfect is that Yoda is speaking directly to the audience as well (on top of being a miraculous repeat puppeteering performance by Frank Oz that we wouldn’t have gotten otherwise.) Luke wanted Yoda to talk him out of it, but Yoda directs him to what he really needs - evolution. “Time it is for you to look past a pile of old books.” And he’s talking to the audience about Star Wars while he’s at it! “I can’t be what she needs me to be!” (He was right - so many people were just not ready to let go of Legends Luke.) Then Yoda comes back with “We are what they grow beyond.” Lots of people bemoan “when are we going to be done with Skywalkers?” Except they’re not paying attention to what that means. The story needs to grow and evolve, not just bounce all over the place. There’s room for so much wonderful storytelling in this universe, but if directors are hamstrung by “this is too cringe-y!” and “where’s my dark and edgy story?” then we don’t evolve.

And Luke takes this through to its logical conclusion in the most Jedi act of all time. “A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.” He shows up, as a legend, defends everyone without injuring a single person, and then joins the Force. Anyone who whines that Luke wasn’t powerful enough in this movie wasn’t paying attention. No Jedi has done anything nearly as powerful anywhere on screen.

The Rey’s Training Bit

Okay, we need to talk about Rey’s training as a whole. Because it’s just masterfully done. Let's start by taking a look at Luke on Dagobah vs Rey on Ahch-to.

First - let's look at this from a movie perspective. We've already seen Luke's training scenes. We don't need to see them again. With seven previous movies, which borrow very heavily from each other, we really don't need another young Jedi training sequence. Rey is on a different path than Luke, and we as an audience need to be as well. (I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that all TLJ haters are in that boat because they're still on Luke's path - but that's a different argument.)

Let's take a look at Luke's training. It's all about learning to feel the Force, to focus, and most importantly, to let go of disbelief. "All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing." Ben sent him on a merry quest, and he went off in search of adventure. Again.

So, Yoda agrees to train him. The very first line of that training? "A Jedi's strength flows from the Force." Not, "a Jedi gets stronger or practices in use of the Force," but quite literally "the strength happens from tapping into the Force." Then they get into a discussion of dark versus light, and how important it is to feel the Force. Passively accepting it. Of course, Luke messes it up - "But tell me why I can't..."

"No, no, there is no why. Nothing more will I teach you today. Clear your mind of questions." Luke was stuck on the minutiae. The DnD ruleset. Yoda wants him to feel, Luke wants an instruction manual - even though he's already experienced using the Force. He could feel the training remote. Obi-Wan told him to "Use the Force" and "Let go," and soon as he did, bye bye Death Star. He takes a moment to compose himself in the Wampa cave and can use a power we've never seen before.

But then comes the cave. Yoda asks him to trust him, to trust in the Force. Luke refuses, brings his lightsaber in with him, and has his "failure at the cave." So Yoda goes back to square one. Floating rocks. "Use the Force. Feel it." But he doesn't. He's focused on the how. "So certain are you. Always with you it cannot be done. Hear you nothing that I say?" It's time to lift the X-Wing. But Luke can't, because "it's totally different." It's so much bigger! That would take a Jedi at least four levels more powerful, right!

And listen to Yoda, nerds - "NO! No different! Only different in your mind. You must unlearn what you have learned." Yoda desperately wants him to learn this lesson - just feel the friggin Force, Luke! But Luke won't. "All right, I'll give it a try..." He only feels doubt.

Do I need to tell anyone what Yoda's response was? Was it try until you get it? Was it you just need more practice? Was it you need three years of training to lift an X-Wing? Was it you'll unlock that Force power when you reach the rank of Knight? You know what he told Luke, and even then, Luke says, "I can't, it's too big. And I know you know how Yoda responded to that. But his follow-up is just as important.

"My ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter! You must feel the Force around you. Here, between you... me... the tree... the rock... everywhere!"

To which Luke replies "You want the impossible." He STILL doesn't get it. He, like so many of you, think that the Force is something you DO. Sure, some people might feel the Force more strongly or acutely than others, and yeah, that's something you could probably expand in time, but Luke isn't even at step two yet. Yoda is actively telling him "A novice like you could absolutely lift that X-Wing out of the swamp if you just believed you could." Not "train harder, practice often, or meditate more." FEEL it.

Of course, he can't. "I don't believe it." He says. And Yoda claps back "That is why you fail."

Now, let's contrast Rey. Rey has already had visions of the Island. She has done a few parlor tricks (yeah a Force pull (which Luke did successfully at her level) and a Mind Trick that she had to take three swipes at barely count,) but she can't tell why. "Something inside me has always been there." She has always felt the Force. She's grown up with it. Hearing legends of the mighty Luke Skywalker, and more recently, seeing things actually happen in the villain Kylo Ren. Contrasted with what Luke had seen up until this point, and yeah - Rey is further along than him. In Luke's world, the Force was "simple tricks and nonsense" and "hokey religions." He believed in the Force in likely the same way that my kids believed in Santa Claus. Rey knows it's there. She's seen it, spent her whole life feeling it, it's native to her. So why is she coming to Luke? Because "Now it's awake. And I'm afraid. I don't know what it is, or what to do with it, and I need help."

So Luke's training of Rey isn't "meditate like this to lift a rock," it's about the what and the why of the Force. Rey is hopelessly naive. She thinks Luke will come and magically fix everything. She thinks that the reason he doesn't want to train her is that he doesn't have the time. She is stuck in her survival mindset from years of being a scavenger on Jakku. She didn't have parents to teach her or friends to rely on. When she wasn't literally fighting for her survival, she had stories and dreams and a few childish trinkets. (I say, knowing full well what some of us would give to own her screen-used rebel pilot doll.) We get new Force powers in just about every movie. It's not a checklist that Jedi have to learn. They have to feel what the Force is capable of, and then use the wisdom from studying the Force to learn when and why to use them.

So let's look at the three lessons (and how I wish the third one hadn't been "cut.")

#1 The Jedi don't own the Force. Luke knows she can feel it already, and well. (No one seems to point out that she's able to recognize immediately that Luke cut himself off from the Force. That seems pretty next-level, but it's not "strong" like lifting rocks I guess.) But she thinks it's to "control people and make things float." He tries to teach her to identify the Force around her, and she learns a part of the lesson very well. Of course, she feels a call for something she needs and rushes straight for it. She "didn't even try to stop [her]self." Because, to her, the Force is power. To get what she wants, and that's a scary thought. Luke seems to think so.

#2 The legacy of the Jedi is failure. Rey has "deified" the Jedi. They fix everything. But Luke desperately wants her to understand the problem with pride. He needs her to understand his failure so that she doesn't make similar mistakes. But Rey isn't hearing this one. "A Jedi ... saved him." "The galaxy may need a legend." "I won't [fail you.]" Her naivete is combined with an optimism that borders a little too closely on pride. That's a huge problem as well.

#3 Might be the balance of the bandits and the caretakers. I really like the scene, and wish it had been left in. But you could just as easily call lesson three the duel they have - which all boils down to selfishness. Luke first thought he could conquer the darkness in Kylo because of his last name. (The power to get what he wants.) Then he felt he had the authority to delve into his mind. (Pride and hubris.) And finally, a moment of temptation to just end the threat he wasn't powerful enough to overcome. (Selfishness.) These are the imminent dangers to Rey, and he needs to train her differently than he did Ben, than Yoda trained him. He's trying to lay it all out for her (and you.) But, of course, she runs off to face her temptation.

And Luke is absolutely ruined over that outcome. He goes to "burn it all down" - probably because he just can't bear to be himself anymore. And Yoda comes to him in perhaps the most brilliant scene in Star Wars to date. He's speaking to Luke, but also to you. "Heeded my words not, did you?" (No, you didn't - but neither did Luke, so don't feel bad.) "Pass on what you have learned. Strength, mastery." (He tried that with the school.) "But weakness, folly, failure, also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is." Yoda is pointing out that Luke didn't fail this time. He gave Rey what she needed. (And slyly foreshadows that Rey took the Jedi texts, so Luke probably got through to her on some level.) "Luke, we are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters."

So Luke goes to Crait to give her a fourth lesson - an example to grow beyond.

Now, after Rey's training, we see her use the Force in two noticeable displays.

First, in the lightsaber tug-o-war. Does this mean that Kylo Ren is weak or that Rey is Supergirl? No. They're not testing their power against each other. They're testing wills. Most notably, Ren pulling Rey to the dark and Rey pulling Ren to the light. And neither of them get what they want. The Force flows through them - and since we've obviously hit home that they're foils for each other, yin and yang, of course one of them can't over"power" the other. It has nothing to do with "I lifted more Force weights than you so I get the saber" or "I'm a higher Force rank than you so I get the saber" or even "I rolled a nat 20 during my training montage so I get the saber." It is both of them reaching out to the Force for polar opposite purposes, unyielding, and so yeah, the metal tube broke. (Come on, it's not like she pulled the dreadnought in half.)

Second, lifting rocks. Of course, we know that this is "no different" from lifting one rock, but that's not the point. The point is that she learned the lesson of purpose. She was absolutely furious with Kylo Ren (as we are reminded mere minutes later.) When she flew over the battle, it would have been easy for her to try to "walk out with a laser sword and face down the whole First Order." (She obviously would've failed, of course.) Instead, she opts for the less selfish route and goes to try and help her friends escape. She feels where they are and makes an opening.

Neither of these is nearly as impressive as some folks are making out. She didn't Force project to Kylo, or call lightning down to the tree, or even manage a decent level of grace in her lightsaber battle. Snoke whipped her around like a ragdoll. (Where was his training?) What she did do was overcome her pride (after failing to do so the first time) and selfishness (once she started to come to her senses.) Now she has the Jedi texts to overcome her naivete, and become a fully-realized Jedi. In many ways, she had a more successful training than Luke. No, we didn't get to see Luke say "now focus on the rock and lift that." Instead, we got things that made sense with the character and the story. She is not all-powerful, we don't have to enter into the Force-user ranking battle, and Rian didn't "cheat" to make her more adept at the Force than she should have been. There is a clear line of growth between her introduction in TFA and her rock-lifting in TLJ, and it didn't come without training. Her story is just different from Luke's, and thank the maker for that. I've already seen Luke's training.

Mando adoption process vs Jedi adoption process.

Do Mandalorians have rules/tests similar to how Jedi’s have the Force sensitivity test and too old to be a padawan rule? Or do Mandalorians just find an orphaned kid and say “I want that one”?

Rey's NJO padawans are:

Jenaah and the other ex-stormtroopers from Kef Bir. I believe in that because of 2 scenes:

  • The first where Finn and Jen talk about "A Feeling" that hold them to shoot the civilians. Which Finn believe to be The Force
  • The second where Finn uses The Force during the Exegol battle, what he calls "A feeling"

That shows to me that Jenaah and the other Stormtroopers are Force-Sensitive or will create a connection with the Force like Sabine Wren. Being the new padawans and Jedi from Rey's New Jedi Order

During the release of Revenge of The Sith

Was it already figured out that the clone troopers were brainwashed into turning against the Jedi or was everyone under the false belief that they made their choices? It honestly seemed pretty obvious by Palpatine saying “Execute Order 66” as the code word for the brain chip activation.

Why did the emperor save Vader

We see throughout the prequels that Palpatine is not really attached to any of his apprentices, going so far as to convince Anakin to kill Tyranus. Now seeing as how Anakin had been so convincingly beaten by Obi Wan and the shell of the person he was, why did the emperor bother saving him? Throughout the canon comics run vader's just like mostly around? And doing enforcing stuff. But that's really something anyone else can do. Seems like Vader's just a liability at this point.

What if….?

I get that the prevailing theory is that Rey was Omega’s progeny (gods bless Feige’s cartoons for their efforts to make rushed prequels and sequels make sense). Don’t get me wrong, I still expect this to be the case. But, this scene in the last episode of The Bad Batch had me pondering a completely different avenue... What if she is Ventress and Crosshair’s child? The two seem destined for each other. Crosshair being kept alive and not executed as a failed and defiant clone hasn’t made sense to me. This could easily be explained as him having an abnormal M-count making him more valuable alive. It is also my understanding that Ventress “died” before the end of Clone Wars, but then why was she in yesterday’s episode when they clearly take place after the Clone Wars? This retcon has me reeling. Could it be?

Ps. Sorry about the photo quality. Had to take a picture of the TV because Disney+ blocks screen shots… something they shouldn’t be able to do.

Looking for a special release cell phone I used to have

Back when one of the new trilogy movies came out (2015 feels too early so maybe it was the second movie) I got a special release cell phone that had this grippy kevlar material on the back with BB-8 patern on it in orange and white. I work in the cell phone industry and NO ONE BELIEVES IT EXISTED. I think it may have been a Verizon only special release, but I could really use some help. I think it was a pixel, but it could have been samsung too. It had a special name because it was 'indestructible'

I have a $100 gift card on the line here. Please help.

This is the case since season 7 of the Clone Wars even though the uniform has appeared in season 6.

Never in a million years on my Star Wars bingo card...(Bad Batch Spoilers)

Was Asajj Ventress mentoring a female boba fett in the ways of the Force.

Kudos Dave.

What if Darth Talon & Darth Maul would have been in the sequel trilogy as the main villains?

Bad Batch Spoilers: Anyone else feel like the Return of a certain character feels like a backdoor pilot?

I'm going to keep it tacit.

Models aren't cheap. Same in real life as in 3d animation. Asajj, reasonably, didn't tell the random clones her story or give them her copy of Dark Desciple to explain things.

Additionally, similar to the slow build up of high Republic hints before that hit, we've been getting a lot of hints at The Path, between the kenobi show and Jedi Survivor.

Conclusion: asajj showing up in TBB near the end of its life as a series points to the notion of a "Path" based tv series using similar animation.

Thoughts and opinions?

Do you think any romance will develop between Din Djarin & Bo Katan in The Mandalorian Season 4?
