The review:

Rejoice, fellow sci fi fans! The most epic film of December has arrived and we're so happy we finally got to see it. This is the perfect follow-up movie to 'The Force Awakens' and if you're a big fan of Star Wars, we're pretty positive you won't be disappointed!

The film continues with the new favourites we've met from 'The Force Awakens' -- Poe, Rey, Finn, and BB-8! We also got to see more of Billie Lourd which makes us happy because this shows she's continuing the legacy of the late Carrie Fisher. (If you've already seen it, raise your hand if you cried when you saw Carrie! ðŸ˜­) And, you know, seeing Princess Leia reminds us of Ben Solo who also reminds us of Han Solo and... yeah. ðŸ˜­
The prevalent theme in this film is how both Kylo/Ben and Rey struggle in choosing which side they'll stay with. You know what this means? Lots of battles between good, bad, and light sabers, of course! It's a cool continuation to the first Star Wars films because there's a never-ending struggle of choosing between good and bad -- and sometimes, the lines between the two can be blurred so easily.

There are also new creatures which we've already seen in the trailers but will get more of. All in all, the dynamic between the characters in the film is very noteworthy. This film makes up for the loss of Mark Hamill in 'The Force Awakens'. The scenes featuring Mark Hamill or Carrie Fisher shows how much those two deserve their spot as the king and queen of the Star Wars universe. Of course, we'll never forget Hayden Christensen, but with Star Wars also comes Mark and Carrie. 

The acting was incredible, especially if you add in the fact that some of the actors here are somewhat new to the public eye. 
You also don't need to worry if you're not a fan of Star Wars, or if you haven't actually seen the other movies. You just have to watch 'The Force Awakens' and you're good to go. Get a little background of the whole franchise so you know who's who, and then you'll know what's going on in 'The Last Jedi'!

But of course, you need the full Star Wars experience so we still suggest you watch all the films!
