Last Jedi
Last Jedi
Warning: This is only the second Star Wars flick I've seen. I may have had some trouble figuring out who the characters were, but eventually got it all straight.
Opening title crawl: check.
Rebels: check, but alas, no monuments.
Phone pranks: check (the kids love phone pranks).
"Dreadnaughts" & "Bombs Away!": check.
Darth Vader: now played by Adam Driver.
Pescatarian Jedi: Played by Luke Skywalker.
Mark Hamill: now played by Orson Welles in his greatest role.
Washed-up has-been Jedi: played superbly by Mark Hamil.
Young Luke: now a girl named Rey.
Intergender violence: Carrie Fisher.
Rey and Luke: get in a light saber fight in the rain (but not sexy).
Then: Rey goes to the Death Star (I never figured out why).
Then: Rey and Adam Driver and Smeagol get in a light saber fight. I think maybe Rey won.
Then: some other stuff happens.
Then: Rey is on the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca (I missed the part that explained how).
Filmies: some beautiful match cuts.
Laura Dern: Wild at Heart and looking good with lilac hair.
Down on a planet: it's time for High Noon with Adam Driver, Luke Skywalker (now played by William H. Macy), but not Katy Jurado.
"See ya around, kid": Nooooooooooooo!
Maybe the greatest film ever made, but ok to wait for TV.
May the Force be with you.
