BC15: The Last Jedi Review
Episode description
We’ve entered that rich season after a new Star Wars movie, and The Last Jedi has generated a lot of fan discussion: what does Episode VIII say about Rey’s parentage? About the identity of Supreme Leader Snoke and the legacy of the Skywalker family? Paul had a dramatic change of heart between his first and second viewing. We dig into the writing of the film, Luke Skywalker’s role and why Mark Hamill was thrown off by the direction the saga is taking him, and Rey’s character arc.
We also go into how the types of stories audiences want have changed, and what that means about the lack of history for Snoke or Rey. How does audience expectation affect the way people watch and re-watch The Last Jedi? It’s the biggest event of the year for our Star Wars podcast!
