The first reactions to Star Wars: The Last Jedi are in (No Spoilers)

Paul Moore

It “might be the best Star Wars movie ever.”

A long time ago in a galaxy, far, far….actually, slash a lightsaber through that sentence because audiences don’t have to wait long to see the next Star Wars adventure. Yes, that’s right. The wait is almost over.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is nearly upon us as Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper, Breaking Bad) has the unenviable task of topping the box-office behemoth that was The Force Awakens. The fact that Johnson has already been given the responsibility to create a brand new trilogy is a very good sign, but what about the next installment of the world’s most beloved saga?

As for the plot, here’s what we’re being told: “Having taken her first steps into the Jedi world, Rey joins Luke Skywalker on an adventure with Leia, Finn, and Poe that unlocks mysteries of the Force and secrets of the past.”

While the official reviews are embargoed, a few journalists shared their spoiler-free opinions on Twitter and it’s fair to say that The Last Jedi is shaping up to be an absolute triumph.

In fact, one journalist even remarked that it “might be the best Star Wars movie ever.” Considering the brilliance of The Empire Strikes Back and A New Hope, that’s high praise indeed.

Do you want to hear some better news?

It’s also the longest film in Star Wars history. We think it’s fair to say that the Force is strong with this one.
