It is as dramatic an opening to a Star Wars film as any before it, delivering an exhilarating and poignant battle that also introduces a spectacularly menacing new class of space ship known as the 'Dreadnaught', pits ace pilot Poe (Oscar Isaacs) against his superiors and sets in motion an innovative countdown after which the Rebellion will exist no more. It picks up almost immediately where The Force Awakens left off, with the orphaned heroine Rey (Daisy Ridley) attempting to lure the only remaining Jedi, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), out of self-imposed exile while the last remnants of the Rebellion flee a resurgent New Order. With its sumptuous colour palette, interwoven plot lines and unexpected humour, writer/director Rian Johnson (Looper) has assuredly marked Star Wars, Episode VIII: The Last Jedi as his own a Star Wars film at once deeply familiar and unique.
