Sci-Fi. Fantasy. Adventure. Action The evil First Order has become even more powerful than when we left it in 'The Force Awakens', and is closing in on the Resistance led by General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher). Pilot Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) leads a mission to take out a First Order Dreadnought. Meanwhile, Rey (Daisy Ridley) must ponder her own future and vocation, and Luke (Mark Hamill) has to reassess what his life means.

	Author	Review
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"Great fun (...) It’s a lot of movie, in a good way (...) Here’s why the new one works. You can tell there’s a clever, admiring but not slavish filmmaker at the helm"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' is really good! (...) A satisfying, at times transporting entertainment. Remarkably, it has visual wit and a human touch"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"This is the epic you've been looking for (...) with knockout fun surprises, marvelous adventure and shocking revelations that will leave your head spinning. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Johnson’s effort is ultimately a disappointment (...) The longest and least essential chapter in the series. That doesn’t mean it’s not entertaining."	NEU
United States	Scott Mendelson Forbes	"'The Last Jedi' is 'The Dark Knight' of the 'Star Wars' saga (...) A visually dazzling and character-driven spectacle which sets itself apart from the blockbuster pack."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"An explosive thrill-ride of galactic proportions (...) [A] tidal wave of energy and emotion that crashes out of the screen in the final five minutes. It’s impossible not to be swept away (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"A stellar entry that owes much to George Lucas' original films while finding a signature vibe of its own and unleashing a few welcome twists. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"When the feelings come in 'The Last Jedi', and they do come, they’re deep and they’re real. Go ahead and try to watch the penultimate scene without crying, or pretending not to. And may the Force be with you (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Los Angeles Times	"'The Last Jedi' brings emotion, exhilaration and surprise back to the 'Star Wars' saga (...) A robust and invigorating pop entertainment"	POS

United States	Stephanie Zacharek Time	"A 'Star Wars' movie that's truly for everyone (...) Its emotional generosity (...) is its best special effect (...) [Johnson's] great gift is that he knows when to stop."	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"It’s not a perfect movie, but it may be a great one (...) 'The Last Jedi' has both lightness and gravitas — the weight that comes with a smartly made, fully felt pop entertainment (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry CNN	"The film feels like a significant letdown (...) Despite the enormous scope and visual spectacle, too many key components of the film (...) prove unsatisfying (...) Johnson delivers some genuine surprises"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"There are a handful of truly spectacular moments (...) The climactic last 45 minutes of the film is as thrilling and spectacular as anything 'Star Wars' has ever given us."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The most satisfying 'Star Wars' movie in decades (...) While rich storytelling makes the movie worthwhile, the details fuse it together."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"A ripping intergalactic yarn (...) Johnson skillfully balances quite a few characters (...) Visually, 'The Last Jedi' is a feast"	POS
United States	Joshua Yehl IGN	"It embraces everything in the franchise that came before while taking big risks to push the story into new and unexpected places (...) [It] is easily the best in the franchise since 'Empire'"	POS
United States	Sam C. Mac Slant	"[It] is largely content to further the themes and narrative strategies of its predecessor (...) 'The Last Jedi' does pull many of its disparate parts together in its markedly stronger final stretch (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	David Edelstein Vulture	"Shockingly good (...) The joys outweigh the downers tenfold (...) Ridley’s Rey is even more appealing here"	POS
Canada	Kate Taylor The Globe and Mail	"'The Last Jedi' is weighed down by too many new additions (...) The Dark Side is more complex and convincing (...) Johnson's dialogue is flat (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
Ireland	Donald Clarke Irish Times	"Boring, bloated and confusing (...) Many of the tweaks to the universe are welcome (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Australia	Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun	"There is both plenty of big philosophical questions to ponder, and a lot of escapist eye candy to gorge on (...) The humour (...) is sharper and more memorable than ever before (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
