There’s been a reawakening – have you felt it?
The social media embargo for the highly-anticipated next chapter of the Skywalker saga has been lifted and the reviews are in – Star Wars: The Last Jedi is indeed the movie we’re looking for! Critics who have seen the movie have been sharing early reactions on social media, and the consensus is that it’s probably the best thing since blue milk.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is everything. Intense, funny, emotional, exciting. It’s jam-packed with absolutely jaw dropping moments and I loved it so, so much. I’m still shaking. pic.twitter.com/fHddWjo201

There’s a scene in #StarWars #TheLastJedi that I keep playing over and over in my head, that is so stunning and unexpected that I don’t want to forget how I felt seeing it for the first time. This movie feels unlike any other Star Wars movie in all the ways I hoped. pic.twitter.com/zlDW4yOjp2

Impressed with #StarWars: #TheLastJedi. It makes some big, impressive and surprising moves that I definitely didn't expect. Not all of the plot stuff is exactly perfect, but the character work is once again fantastic, and it's just amazing to see Luke Skywalker back in action.

I am STUNNED by #StarWars #TheLastJedi. I gasped, I laughed, I screamed, I cried and I had the time of my life. Rian Johnson pulled it off, making what might be the best Star Wars movie ever. pic.twitter.com/0VE5M90dsH

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a triumph. So many big moments, so much emotion, so much to digest. Had the whole crowd cheering and woah’ing.

In addition to its grand visuals, action sequences and Mark Hamill’s winning performance as Luke Skywalker, most also described the story as extremely unpredictable and emotional. From what we can gather, the prospect of a Star Wars movie that doesn’t go the way we think, is truly an exhilarating one.
Having taken her first steps into the Jedi world, Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares to do battle with the First Order.
