Given that this movie has been out for only a day and a half or so, I'm going to put a big spoiler buffer paragraph here.
The Last Jedi is the middle piece of the sequel trilogy, written and directed by Rian Johnson. Johnson made a name for himself with the indie movie Brick (which I actually saw right when it came out,) a Noir detective film set in a high school with teenage characters that managed to have its cake (be a gritty noir film) and eat it too (deriving humor from its unusual setting and the shrunken power spectrum of teenagers.) I actually haven't seen his other original films, but he also earned a lot of respect directing television, like some of the best episodes of Breaking Bad (including the legendary Ozymandias.)
So what do I think of his take on Star Wars? The truth is that I'm still digesting it, but I think in a good way.
