By now, the franchise is mainly about giving the audience more of what it’s already given it, and the gifted writer-director Rian Johnson ( Looper) delivers just that: It runs two and a half hours. It’s hard to say much about Episode VIII of the saga without dishing up spoilers, so suffice it to say that Daisy Ridley still shines as the heroic Rey, John Boyega’s Finn’s heroism still comes tinged with comedy, Oscar Isaac is still insubordinate as Poe, and Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren is still the moodiest, most teary-eyed villain in film history.
Even if Star Wars isn’t your religion (as it appears to be with countless people at the early screenings), this is the one holiday movie that’s as inescapable as sales tax-we all know we’re going to see it.
