Leia is dragged intospacebut survives by usingthe Force.While Leia recovers,Vice-Admiral Holdoassumes command of the Resistance. Running low on fuel, the remaining fleet is pursued by the First Order.

OnAhch-To,Reyattempts to recruitLuke Skywalkerto the Resistance. Under self-imposed exile, Luke refuses to help, believing that theJedishould end. After encouragement fromR2-D2,he agrees to give Rey three lessons in the ways of the Force. During training, Rey and Kylo begin communicating through the Force, which puzzles them both. Kylo tells Rey that Luke feared his power; Luke confesses that he momentarily contemplated killing Kylo upon sensing thatSnokewas corrupting him, which prompted Kylo to destroy Luke's new Jedi Order. Convinced that Kylo can be redeemed, Rey leaves Ahch-To. Luke prepares to burn the Jedi library but hesitates. Thespiritof Luke's masterYodaappears and destroys the library by summoning a bolt oflightning.He encourages Luke to learn from his failure.

Meanwhile, Poe entrustsFinn,mechanicRose,andBB-8with a secret mission to disable the First Order's tracking device.Maz Kanatadirects them to the casino town ofCanto Bight,where they meet the hackerDJ.Pursued by the local security, they escape Canto Bight with the help of stablehand children andracing animalsthey set free. Finn, Rose, and DJ infiltrate Snoke's flagship but are captured byCaptain Phasma.Kylo brings Rey to Snoke, who reveals that he connected their minds to discover Luke's whereabouts.

Holdo plans to evacuate the remaining members of the Resistance using small transport vessels. Believing her plan cowardly and futile, Poe leads a mutiny. A recovered Leia stuns Poe with ablasterand proceeds with the evacuation. Holdo remains aboard the ship as a decoy to mislead Snoke's fleet as the others flee to an abandoned base onCrait.DJ buys his freedom by revealing the Resistance's plan toGeneral Hux,and the First Order fleet begins firing on the evacuation transports, destroying many.

Ordered to kill Rey, Kylo instead kills Snoke and defeats his Praetorian Guard with her help. Rey hopes that Kylo has abandoned the dark side, but he instead asks her to rule the galaxy with him. Refusing, she battles him for control of Luke’s lightsaber, bisecting the weapon. Holdo sacrifices herself by slicing through Snoke's flagship at lightspeed, crippling the First Order fleet. Rey escapes the destruction while Kylo declares himself Supreme Leader. BB-8 frees Finn and Rose; they defeat Phasma and join the survivors on Crait.

He then engages Luke in a lightsaber duel; upon striking Luke, Kylo realizes that Luke is not physically present but projecting his image through the Force. Rey helps the remaining Resistance escape on theFalcon.Exhausted, Luke dies peacefully on Ahch-To, becoming one with the Force. Rey and Leia sense his death, and Leia tells Rey that the Resistance can rise again.

Production

edit

Development

edit
Writer and directorRian Johnson

In October 2012,Star WarscreatorGeorge Lucassold his production companyLucasfilmtothe Walt Disney Company.[25]Disney announced a new trilogy ofStar Warsfilms.[25]J. J. Abramswas named director of the first episode in the trilogy,Star Wars: The Force Awakens,in January 2013.[26]In June 2014, director Rian Johnson was reported to be in talks to write and direct its sequel,Episode VIII,and to write atreatmentfor the third film,Episode IX,with Ram Bergman producing both films.[27][28]Johnson confirmed in August that he would directEpisode VIII.[29]

In January 2015, Disney CEOBob Igerstated thatEpisode VIIIwould be released in 2017.[30]In December, Lucasfilm presidentKathleen Kennedysaid that the film had not been mapped out and that Abrams was collaborating with Johnson, who would in turn work with (then)Episode IXdirectorColin Trevorrowto ensure a smooth transition.[31]Additionally, Abrams served as an executive producer along with Tom Karnowski and Jason McGatlin.[17]In January 2017, Lucasfilm announced the title forEpisode VIIIasStar Wars: The Last Jedi.[32]

Writing

edit

TheLast Jedistory begins immediately afterThe Force Awakens.[33]Johnson had his story group watch films such asTwelve O'Clock High(1949),The Bridge on the River Kwai(1957),Gunga Din(1939),Three Outlaw Samurai(1964),Sahara(1943), andLetter Never Sent(1960) for inspiration while developing ideas.[33][34]He felt it was difficult to work on the film whileThe Force Awakenswas being finished.[33]

Johnson wrote the scene with the mirrored versions of Rey to symbolise her search for identity; when she asks for a vision of her parents, she sees only herself.[35]Rey learns that her parents were "nobodies" because it would be "the hardest thing" she and the audience could hear; Johnson likened the scene to Luke Skywalker learning thatDarth Vaderis his father inThe Empire Strikes Back(1980).[35]During production, Hamill expressed disagreement with the direction of his character, Luke, feeling his disillusioned state was at odds with the character.[36]Hamill later said he regretted making his initial misgivings public and compared his disagreements to his clashes with George Lucas during the filming ofReturn of the Jedi(1983).[36]

Casting

edit

In September 2015, Disney shortlisted the female cast members toGina Rodriguez,Tatiana Maslany,andOlivia Cooke.[37]That same month,Benicio del Toroconfirmed his involvement in the film, but denied that he was playing a villain,[38][39]and Mark Hamill was also confirmed.[6]Joaquin Phoenixwas also courted to portray the role of DJ, but would end up passing on the offer.[40]In October 2015,Gugu Mbatha-Rawwas rumored to have been cast in the film.[41]In November, Kennedy announced at the London premiere ofThe Force Awakensthat the entire cast would return forEpisode VIII,along with "a handful" of new cast members.[7]In February 2016, at the start of filming, it was confirmed thatLaura DernandKelly Marie Tranhad been cast in undisclosed roles.[15]In April 2017, at theStar WarsCelebration Orlando,Lucasfilm announced that Tran would play Resistance maintenance worker Rose Tico, which Johnson described as the film's largest new role.[12][13]To keep Frank Oz's return as Yoda a secret, producers excluded Oz's name in thebillingfor the film's pre-release marketing and ensured that Oz stayed on set during filming.[16]

Filming

edit
Some filming locations: The island ofSkellig Michaelin Ireland (top),Salar de Uyuni,asalt flatin Bolivia (middle), and the city ofDubrovnik,inCroatia(bottom)

Second unit photography began during pre-production atSkellig Michaelin Ireland on September 14, 2015, due to the difficulties of filming at that location during other seasons.[42]It would have lasted five days, but filming was canceled for the first day due to poor weather and rough conditions.[42][43]In September 2015, del Toro revealed that principal photography would begin in March 2016.[38]The production began work on the007 StageatPinewood Studioson November 15, 2015.[44]Rick Heinrichsserved as production designer.[45]

In January 2016, production ofEpisode VIIIwas delayed until February due to script rewrites.[46]Filming was in danger of being delayed further due to an upcoming strike between theProducers Alliance for Cinema and Televisionand theBroadcasting, Entertainment, Cinematograph and Theatre Union.[47]On February 10, 2016, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that principal photography had begun[48]under the working titleSpace Bear.[33]Additional filming took place inDubrovnik,Croatiafrom March 9 to 16,[49][50]as well as in Ireland in May.[51]Malin HeadinCounty Donegaland a mountain headland, Ceann Sibeal inCounty Kerry,served as additional filming locations.[52]To increase the scenes' intimacy Driver and Ridley were both present when filming Kylo and Rey's Force visions.[53]Location filming for the battle scenes on the planet Crait took place at theSalar de Uyunisalt flatsin Bolivia.[54]Additional filming took place in Mexico.[55]

Principal photography wrapped on July 22, 2016,[56]though as of early September, Nyong'o had not filmed her scenes.[57]In February 2017, it was announced that sequences from the film were shot inIMAX.[58]Production designer Rick Heinrichs said the original script called for 160 sets, double what might be expected, but that Johnson did some "trimming and cutting". Ultimately, 125 sets were created on 14sound stagesat Pinewood Studios.[59]

According to creature designerNeal Scanlan,The Last Jedihas more practical effects than anyStar Warsfilm, with 180 to 200 creatures created with practical effects, some cut from the final edit.[60]For Yoda's appearance in the film as aForce ghost,the character was created using puppetry, as was done in the originalStar Warstrilogy(as opposed tocomputer-generated imagery,which was used to create Yoda in most of theprequel trilogy).[61]Rian Johnsonexplained the decision was because he felt a digital Yoda would not have been true to how Luke knew him inThe Empire Strikes Back.[62]

Critical response

edit

On thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoes,91% of 482 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.1/10. The website's consensus reads: "Star Wars: The Last Jedihonors the saga's rich legacy while adding some surprising twists—and delivering all the emotion-rich action fans could hope for. "[104]Metacritic,which uses aweighted average,assigned the film a score of 84 out of 100, based on 56 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[105]Metacritic analysis found the film was the 25th-most mentioned film on "best of the year" film rankings[106]and the 22nd-most mentioned on "best of the decade" film rankings.[107]

Matt Zoller SeitzofRogerEbertgave the film four stars out of four, praising the surprises and risks that it took, writing that "The movie works equally well as an earnest adventure full of passionate heroes and villains and a meditation on sequels and franchise properties", in which the film "includes multiple debates over whether one should replicate or reject the stories and symbols of the past."[108]Writing forRolling Stone,Peter Traversgave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, praising Johnson's direction and the cast performances, particularly Hamill's, and concluding that the film "ranks with the very best Star Wars epics (even the pinnacle that isThe Empire Strikes Back) ".[109]Richard Roeperof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, praising the action sequences and humor, and said that the film "doesn't pack quite the same emotional punch [asThe Force Awakens] and it lags a bit in the second half, [but] this is still a worthy chapter in theStar Warsfranchise ", containing a few callbacks of" previous characters and iconic moments ".[110]

Will Gompertz,arts editor ofBBC News,gave the film four stars out of five, writing "Rian Johnson [...] has not ruined your Christmas with a turkey. His gift to you is a cracker, a blockbuster movie packed with invention, wit, and action galore."[111]The unpredictability of the plot was appreciated by reviewers such as Alex Leadbeater ofScreen Rant,who commented specifically that the death of Snoke was "the best movie twist in years".[112]

Conversely,Richard BrodyofThe New Yorkerwrote that the film "comes off as a work that's ironed out, flattened down, appallingly purified".[113]Kate TaylorofThe Globe and Mailgave the film two stars out of four, saying it suffered from too many new additions and adding, "as it seeks to uphold a giant cultural legacy, this unfolding trilogy struggles to maintain a balance that often seems just out of reach."[114]Owen GleibermanofVarietycriticized the film for being too derivative of the past films, noting "it's now repeating things that have already been repeated", becoming "an official monument to nostalgia".[115]

George Lucas,who was not involved with the film's production, describedThe Last Jedias "beautifully made" shortly after its release.[116][117]His reaction toStar Wars: The Force Awakenswas generally more negative.[118][119]

Audience reception

edit

Audience reception measured by scientific polling methods was highly positive.[120]Audiences polled byCinemaScoreduring the opening weekend gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, and those atPostTrakgave the film an 89% overall positive score, a 79% "definite recommend", and a rare five-star rating.[90]SurveyMonkeydetermined that 89% of its polled audience graded the film positively.[121]

User-generated scores at Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic received considerable coverage for being more negative. Audience scores on such sites require only registration and do not ensure that contributing voters have seen the film.[122]Several reviewers speculated that coordinatedvote brigadingfrom internet groups andbotscontributed to the low scores,[123][124]including analysis provided byQuartzandBleeding Cool.[125][126]After initially rejecting tampering claims,[127]Rotten Tomatoes later said in 2019 thatThe Last Jedihad been "seriously targeted" by areview-bombingcampaign.[128]Scott Mendelson ofForbeslabeled the negative reaction "alleged", saying it was based on "easily trolled online user polls", and he criticized Disney for placating the "vocal minority" in its approach to the sequel,The Rise of Skywalker.[129]

The Last Jediwas also characterized by reviewers as divisive among audiences.[130]Emily VanDerWerff ofVoxfound that dissatisfied fans saw the film as tooprogressive,disliked its humor, plot, or character arcs, or felt betrayed that it ignored fan theories.[123]Other reviewers made similar observations.[131]Particularly divisive was the reveal thatRey's parentsare insignificant;[132]many fans had expected her to be Luke's daughter or to share a lineage with another character from the original trilogy.[133]There was also sentiment that Snoke's character was underdeveloped and that Luke's actions contradicted his previous heroic portrayal.[134]Reviewers claimed that fan theories were held so strongly among some viewers that it was difficult for them to accept different stories,[135]but they noted that other viewers appreciated the film's action, tone, and deviation fromStar Warstradition.[136][137]

Harassment

edit
Further information:Kelly Marie Tran § Personal life

The casting ofAsian-Americanactress Kelly Marie Tran as Rose Tico spurred both a racial and misogynisticbacklashagainst the film, including sexist and racist commentary about both Tran and her character.[138]Tran was accused of representing "forced diversity" imposed by "social justice warriors"because of her race.[139]After facing extensive harassment over her ethnicity and appearance, Tran quit social media.[139][140]The incident highlighted the challenges faced by people of color who are inStar Wars.[141]Tran was the first woman of color to have a lead role in aStar Warsfilm, and similarly John Boyega faced the same type of abuse when he was cast inThe Force Awakens.[141][142]After leaving social media, director Rian Johnson and co-stars Mark Hamill and John Boyega defended Tran against the harassment she received.[142]
