After the initial premiere in Los Angeles over the weekend, the first verdicts are now spilling in as the latest installment of the Star Wars franchise makes its mark all over the world. My thoughts after catching it last night? I LOVED it! It’s not without its flaws—nice touch of humour but not always well-placed, and it dragged a little at parts—but it was exciting, intense, emotional, with more than a few moments that had me at the edge of my seat.
And it most certainly looks like I wasn’t the only one with those sentiments. Check out some of the first reactions to Star Wars: The Last Jedi here:
There’s a scene in #StarWars #TheLastJedi that I keep playing over and over in my head, that is so stunning and unexpected that I don’t want to forget how I felt seeing it for the first time. This movie feels unlike any other Star Wars movie in all the ways I hoped. pic.twitter.com/zlDW4yOjp2

Luke was right: “This is not going to go the way you think.” #TheLastJedi will shatter you – and then make you whole again. pic.twitter.com/PJyYpH5loP

“Do. Or do not. There is no try.” Bravo, @RianJohnson. You did that! The last 40 minutes had me on the edge of my seat in every moment. Superb storytelling. Exceptional design. I laughed. I cheered. A total joy-ride through the galaxy. So fun. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/u4h4XsdzZA

#StarWars: The Last Jedi is so beautifully human, populist, funny, and surprising. I cried when one POC heroine got her moment because films like these leave their mark on entire generations — and representation matters

Guys. @rianjohnson has made the most epic, emotionally powerful @starwars film ever. Hands down. My strong advice is to be very wary of spoilers. The less you know about #TheLastJedi, the better. Bravo, bravo, bravo.
