"One of the most common ways to praise a new 'Star Wars' movie is to claim that it’s the best one since 'The Empire Strikes Back.' But sometimes the clichés are accurate. But Johnson takes it to the next level."Īnthony Ha called "Last Jedi" not only the most moving film in the franchise emotionally, but the funniest as well. Travers continues that "Want lightsaber duels, X-wing dogfights, exotic creatures (oh, those crystal ice-critters!), criss-crossing family bloodlines ('Who's your daddy?' gets asked a lot), high-end FX and lowdown farce? It's all here. Writer-director Rian Johnson, known for indies such as 'Looper' and 'Brick,' eases into epic filmmaking like a pro," he adds. "'The Last Jedi – Episode VIII' of the 'Star Wars' saga – is simply stupendous, a volcano of creative ideas in full eruption. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers gave the film three and a half stars out of four and wrote, it's "the epic you've been looking for."
