& # 39; The Last Jedi & # 39; (AKA's second best movie 'Star Wars') is now on Netflix

I will never understand how The last Jedi has become the most polarizing film in the Star wars franchise, because it's a movie with something for everyone. If you are looking for something new: Hey, it's Kelly Marie Tran and Laura Dern and Benicio del Toro! If you are wrapped in Star wars nostalgia: Hey, that's Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher and Yoda! (He's still a puppet!) If you're looking for a blockbuster show: Hey, that's the best lightsaber battle of the history of the Star wars franchise! If you are looking for new adorable creatures, you would like to cuddle and / or eat: Hey, that's Porgs!

Among other qualities, The last Jedi is so packed with things to admire that it's easily the most remotchable Star wars movie-even more than The empire counter-attack, which is still, book-for-book, the best film of the franchise. And now The last Jedi is on Netflix, you can revisit it whenever you want.

This is normally the part where I would summarize the plot of the film, but go, it's Wars of the stars. You know the basics. The last Jedi pick up where 2015 the force awakens Left aside, with Rey chase the reclusive Jedi Master Luke Skywalker in an effort to balance the power balance of a war between the evil First Order and the Heroic Resistance.

This means, in essence, that The last Jedi is the story of the face of Star wars& # 39; Past to accept the face of his future. Especially after the solid-but-predictable Solo: a story of Star Wars, The last JediThe narrative audacity is remarkable. It's interesting because it's a movie about Star wars confronting his own legacy in real time. When Kylo Ren talks about killing the past, he also talks about a future for Star wars this – for the first time – is not beholden to the legacy of the Skywalker family. At a time when many Hollywood franchises are content to deliver exactly what the public expects, The last JediThe gaps are really bold.

These discrepancies have also led – yes – to a vocal and sustained backlash of a subset of Star wars fans who do not like them. Before coming to shout at me on Twitter, Last Jedi enemies, I will be the first to recognize that the film has flagrant flaws. Even if Episode IX would have explored in more detail the skill of Leia in the Force, his "death" and his resurrection in the void of space is a failure. The sequence of Canto Bight is a bit long. The disappointing death of General Phasma is a mistake, and the biggest waste of a promising Star wars nasty since Dark Maul died at the end of Episode I. (Of course, Dark Maul is back, so who knows?)

But dude, I can live with these missteps when they come next to so many massive jumps forward for the Star wars franchise. I already wrote about how The last Jedi uses the public's knowledge of The empire counter-attack as a weapon, put up a sort of end before suddenly turning in a bold new direction for the franchise.
