![]() Like most hermits, Luke is grumpy and regretful. Rey (Daisy Ridley) has found hermit Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on a remote island on a remote planet with the intention of bringing him out of retirement to help the Resistance (which a generation earlier was called the Rebellion) take down the First Order (which rose from the ashes of the defeated Galactic Empire). ![]() ![]() “The Last Jedi” picks up right where we left off. Written and directed with thoughtfulness and visual flair by Rian Johnson ( “Brick,” “Looper”), it also gives “Empire” a run for its money as the best Star War. The next chapter, “The Last Jedi” - Episode 8 if you’re scoring along at home (and I know you are) - parallels “The Empire Strikes Back” incidentally but goes in bold new directions while delivering familiarity. Don’t worry about falling into a rut, though. There was a comforting sense of deja vu in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which kicked off a new trilogy by mimicking the plot structure of the original film.
