Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Eyewandersfoto — 03 Jan 2018

Rian Johnson is the kid you didn't let play with your Star Wars toys. I grew up with Star Wars. I had a decent amount of toys, though not a lot because we didn't have a lot of money, but some and I loved them.

I saw both Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in theaters (a bit too young for A New Hope - I was only 3 at the time)... I, like so very many, played with Star Wars action figures and toys relentlessly, reenacting and inventing over and over.

There was ALWAYS some kid that wanted to play too who wanted to kill Luke, or deface Leia, or wanted to do nothing but make the figures have sex, etc etc.... That was the kid that you didn't let play Star Wars with you, that made you just put away your toys and go play on the swing.

That kid was Rian Johnson.
