Many people may disagree with me, but "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" really did disappoint me. So, I'm hoping Episode VIII will be a lot better.
About two or three weeks ago, the title of the upcoming Star Wars movie was released, and I was ecstatic. "The Last Jedi". I can already tell from that title that it's going to be an epic addition to the Star Wars saga. Like I said, The last installment disappointed me a little. I loved the new characters, but the story line did not excite me. Even though there were some plot twists that hit me straight in the heart (I'm talking that one plot twist that brought tears to our eyes), the overall plot, I found, was quite unoriginal. I'm hoping that "The Last Jedi" will not only introduce us to exciting and complex characters, but also give us a brand new, exciting story.
Now, I want to talk about the characters I'm most excited to see on the big screen in eleven months. The first character is Luke Skywalker. Luke Skywalker is an iconic character. He's pretty much the most important character in this saga. However, in the previous film, he didn't get as much time on screen as other characters. So, I'm really excited to the story line that screenwriter and director Rian Johnson has cooked up for him. Next up is, of course, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. In the last movie, I fell in love with this particular character. While some may think of him as a bad guy, I think he is just an incredibly misunderstood character. To me, he is probably the most complex character in the Sequel Trilogy. I also think his story line could be the most interesting. I'm very excited to see this character evolve. I would also love to see how he would interact with his mother, Princess Leia, and his uncle, Luke. Speaking of our beloved Princess Leia, she also happens to be one of the many characters I am looking forward to watch on the big screen. Like I said before, I would love to see a mother-and-son moment between her and her son, Ben Solo/Kyol Ren. I would also like to see how she is dealing with the death of her beloved husband. At the end of 2016, actress Carrie Fisher (best known for playing this iconic character) sadly passed away. She is a fantastic actress and a great role model. She will definitely be remembered for being a strong and courageous woman. Last but definitely not least, Rey and Finn. I really am excited to see what's next for Rey. She is a beautiful, brave, strong, and independent woman who, I think, is a great role model for many young girls - or young women - out there. This past year, I've been reading many theories on her story line, and I can't wait to see what will actually happen to her. In the last film we saw her say goodbye to Finn, an ex-stormtrooper who had the guts to flee from the First Order. In this upcoming film I would really like to see how he matures and finds his true self.
I think that's all I have to say about the upcoming installment of Star Wars entitled "The Last Jedi". It's still a long wait but I know tat in the end, it will be worth it. May the force be with us.
