Star Wars: The Last Jedi is undoubtably the most anticipated film of the year. And for good reasons. You won’t get any spoilers from me here but rest assured that the latest instalment won’t disappoint. Fans of the franchise will find the good old look and feel, familiar faces and spaceships, lots of new characters and fantastic creatures, and well created battles in space like in the first three movies. Add to that a more diverse cast including female heroes and pilots, racial representation, humour and action and you have the perfect Star Wars film for a new generation of fans.
