Welcome to Star Wars Generations, where hosts Erin, Alex, and Matthew dive deep into the galaxy far, far away! In this episode, the trio tackles the controversial yet thought-provoking film, The Last Jedi. Buckle up for a thrilling discussion that challenges expectations and explores new perspectives on the Star Wars universe. This movie had so much to discuss that we’ll likely to return to some of the themes we didn’t get to explore in a part II.The hosts kick off by addressing the burning question: Is The Last Jedi a masterpiece or a misfire? (Spoilers, we love it). They explore how the film subverts traditional Star Wars tropes and pushes the boundaries of what fans expect from the franchise. The conversation delves into the movie's portrayal of failure and its impact on character growth, particularly for Luke, Rey, Poe, and Finn.One of the most hotly debated topics is Luke Skywalker's character arc. The hosts ponder: Does Luke's portrayal in The Last Jedi stay true to his legacy? They discuss the significance of Luke's disillusionment with the Jedi Order and how it reflects larger themes within the Star Wars Saga.The episode also tackles the controversial Canto Bight sequence. The hosts examine whether this subplot serves a greater purpose in the narrative or if it's a distracting detour. They debate the effectiveness of the film's commentary on war profiteering and its place within the Star Wars universe.Other topics covered include:
