Out of respect for those who have yet to see the movie, I'm going to try and keep the spoilers a minimal as possible so lets talk about the latest Star Wars film. Far as the movie itself, I thought it was fantastic although, less action than audiences were lead to believe. It drags in the middle like all blockbusters but easily has one of the years best opening sequences and a handful of others that are just jaw droppingly gorgeous. Of the many great things Rian Johnson managed to do with the film, a one thing in particular really killed me and it was the lack of role of Captain Phasma. The heavily marketed storm trooper commander portrayed by Gwendoline Christie, again gets extremely limited screen time (SPOILERS) only to meet an untimely demise but if the first film is any indication than nothing is permanent. Rose is a great addition and you'll love her even before her first scene on the screen. General Hux actually gets fleshed out this time around and is slowly emerging as a character one would be interested in. The Last Jedi has a lot of twist and surprises and they weren't afraid to play with the audiences emotions, especially with the late Carrie Fisher. I'll get more into detail after the weekend but these are just some quick thoughts. It is easily one of the best films you can check out this holiday season and it is certainly a step up from The Force Awakens (which I didn't think was that bad but apparently people don't like so, meh what can you do?).
