Serving as the direct sequel to The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi takes the saga in a far more introspective and divisive direction.
The film shifts its focus from rediscovery to deconstruction, challenging long-held ideas about heroism, legacy, and the nature of the Jedi themselves.
Rey, driven by questions about her identity and purpose, seeks out the reclusive former Jedi Master Luke Skywalker.
Hidden away from the galaxy, Luke has withdrawn from the conflict entirely, disillusioned by past failures and unwilling to return to the battlefield.
A Galaxy On Edge Of Extinction
While Rey trains, the Resistance finds itself pushed to the breaking point.
Hunted relentlessly by the First Order, their survival feels increasingly uncertain, turning the film into a prolonged chase where every loss brings them closer to extinction.
Unlike previous entries that balanced hope with triumph, The Last Jedi leans heavily into desperation and sacrifice, portraying the Resistance as fragile, fractured, and outmatched. Victory is no longer guaranteed and survival itself becomes the goal.
