Set 30 years after the events of Star Wars Return of The Jedi, Luke Skywalker (The Last Jedi) has disappeared.
In addition the remains of The Galactic Empire have reformed into The First
Order led by Kylo Ren who seeks to find Luke. After a clue of a lost map to
Skywalker is found, Ren and his Stormtroopers set out to obtain it. Little does
Ren know the piece of the map has fallen into the hands of a droid named BB-8,
A Scavenger named Rey, an ex Stormtrooper named Finn, and a resistance led by General
Leia Organa previously
known as Princes Leia who are all trying to protect the map from Kylo Ren. So the rest
of the film follows Kylo
Ren as he tries to find Luke Skywalker.
In 2012 Disney
had bought the rights to Lucasfilms, the studio that made the last 6 films for $4.06 billion and
announced three new Star Wars films meaning this is one out of three new movies. Everyone
from the last films returns along with some new characters, such as BB-8 and
Finn. The biggest thing I did not like was the lack of Luke Skywaker and R2D2.
Luke was only mentioned countless times, does not speak when he finally appears,
and is only in 2 scenes. R2 on the other hand I didn’t like only seeing him
speak in one scene even though he was shown throughout the film. The biggest
thing I liked was when Han and Chewbacca meet Rey and Finn because it was a new
generation meets old generation thing. The special effects were great and made
the film very realistic. The cast includes
Harrison Ford as Han Solo
Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker
Carrie Fisher as General Leia Organa
Adam Driver as Kylo Ren
Daisy Ridley as Rey
John Boyega as Finn
Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron
Lupita Nyong'o as Maz Kanata
Andy Serkis as Supreme Leader
Snoke
Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux
Anthony Daniels as C-3PO
Peter Mayhew as Chewbacca
Max von Sydow as Lor San Tekka
Daniel Craig makes a
cameo as a Storm Trupper
Bill Hader and Ben Schwartz are Vocal Consultants
for BB8
Ewan McGregor has an uncredited
vocal cameo as Obi-Wan Kenobi
Audio of Frank Oz and Alec Guinness as Yoda and Kenobi, respectively, are also
used in the same scene. I think this film is great for everyone who is fan of
Star Wars or Disney.
Ratting 10/10
