Star Wars: The Last Jedi review

Drew and Chella review Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Let’s get all the major spoilers out of the way. Yes, it’s true what you’ve heard – The Last Jedi, Rian Johnson‘s new entry in the Star Wars saga, makes some surprising alterations to the established canon. Luke is a Rodian now. Rey’s parents turn out to be R2-D2 and C-3PO. And the character of Poe Dameron has been entirely replaced by a wisecracking basset hound named Pup Doggeron.

These spoilers are true, and what’s also true is that as this is The Last Episode of ATT Season 3, we’ve cross-promoted with the increasingly massive Disney Company to release at the same time as The Last Jedi. I haven’t checked, but we may also be owned by Disney now. I personally may be a Disney prince.

We end S3 as it began, coming full circle and returning to the familiar with a review of a new Star Wars film. It’s a pretty long one, too, and while we discuss aspects of the film’s premise throughout, we keep all the real major spoilers (except the ones listed above, which are real) until the very end, and clearly announce them beforehand, so you can listen in safety. And that’s a Disney Promise (note to self: definitely check this).

Chella Ramanan

Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.
