![]() I would have preferred for this film to have introduced fewer new characters and instead spent more time developing the characters we already have, like Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac). This is especially true of Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) and DJ (Benicio Del Toro), whose inclusion is really justified. Unfortunately, it feels like Johnson can’t quite figure out what to do with most of them and how to properly integrate them into the greater narrative. There are a number of new characters introduced in The Last Jedi, and they’re all played by very likable and capable actors. There’s a lot going on in this film, and though most of it is very good, some of it doesn’t work so well in my opinion. Johnson really takes his time here, which I appreciate, but I do wish the film as a whole was as focused and as consistently engaging as The Force Awakens is. ![]() It clocks in at about two and a half hours, and I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t feel that long. ![]() For one, The Last Jedi is longer than The Force Awakens and all other Star Wars films so far. ![]() This is the first film I’ve seen of Rian Johnson’s so I can’t really speak to his usual “style” or directing sensibilities, but his approach to storytelling is noticeably different than J.J. ![]()
