“I think Luke realized that there are very, very many bad ways to use the Force. Abrams is going to come in on the next movie and it’s just going to be fun and the good guys are going to win, and there won’t be anything more to it than that.”

And I’m afraid that this trilogy could easily mirror the first trilogy, where you have the crowd-pleasing first movie, then you have the dark, kind of weird second movie that people only in retrospect recognize was the most interesting one, and then you have a third mindless crowd-pleasing one again. Whereas I feel like Rian Johnson has things to say. Abrams at this point-and this might be completely unfair, I don’t know him or anything-but my impression is that he loves movies, and he knows everything there is to know about movies, and doesn’t have a lot to say. And check out some highlights from the discussion below. Listen to the complete interview with Erin Lindsey, Seth Dickinson, and Rajan Khanna in Episode 287 of Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy (above). “They’re setting up a world more removed from the touchstones that we know from Star Wars,” he says, “which I think is why it’s starting to feel a little bit weird to some people.” I wanted Rey to have three more of those scenes.”Īuthor Rajan Khanna feels that some amount of disorientation and alienation is inevitable, as we start to lose some of the most familiar Star Wars actors and characters. It wasn’t a pastiche of any other mystical vision. “There was a sort of David Lynch-ian scene where Rey goes down into this ‘dark side hole’ and encounters a mirror that turns her into a causal string of herself in the past and the future,” he says. Science fiction writer Seth Dickinson agrees that The Last Jedi is doing fascinating things with the Star Wars universe, particularly when it comes to the movie’s surreal presentation of the Force. “It has the most moral complexity of any of the movies, it has the most surprises of any of the movies, and is the most intellectual and self-aware, and gives you the most to think about afterward.” “This is arguably my favorite Star Wars movie,” Kirtley says. But Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy host David Barr Kirtley is fully on-board with director Rian Johnson‘s vision of the Star Wars universe.
