Andrew’s Blu-ray Review: ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ [2017] picks up where the story left off two years ago in the ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ in the sci-fi series newest trilogy. The writer-director of ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ Rian Johnson, gets down to the difficult business of putting his fingerprint on the sci-fi franchise authorship.
Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar Isaac return for the Rian Johnson-directed second film in the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy. ‘Star Wars’ has now occupied a galaxy of its own in the zeitgeist for 40 years and shows no signs of disappearing anytime soon; to the contrary, with each New Year bring a new ‘Star Wars’ film saga. Loaded with loads action packed scenes and satisfying in the ways its loyal audience wants it to be, writer-director Rian Johnson's plunges into George Lucas's universe.
‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ sci-fi film brings Luke Skywalker [Mark Hamill] to the fore and Rey [Daisy Ridley] is trying to cajole him into training her in the ways of the force, but Luke Skywalker is resistant, especially after his failure with Kylo Ren [Adam Driver]. Mark Hamill slides back into his defining role like he has never been away: angry, funny and still with traces of his naïve farm-boy outlook and gets to shine in a way he never did before when he was in Han Solo’s shadow.
Elsewhere, Leia Organa is leading the dwindling Resistance, which is rapidly being picked off by the First Order. As a fond farewell to Leia Organa, director Rian Johnson does the late Carrie Fisher a great homage, and is very wise, quiet leader and occasional action hero. One of Carrie Fisher’s final scenes is the most emotional in the entire sci-fi series. It’s not a neat end to the character, or the one deserved, but a respectful farewell to the brilliant actress Carrie Fisher.
As indicated by the dramatic finale of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ the first quarter of the fil is mostly devoted to the evil First Order's outer space attack on the Resistance, led by General Hux, who is played by Domhnall Gleeson as if he were acting in a Monty Pythonesque parody. Still, the resurgent fascists decimate the fleet and put the good guys on their heels.
Back on terra firma to be specific, the thrusting oceanic mountain hideaway is so splendidly represented by Skellig Michael, which is west of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland, where Rey finds Luke Skywalker in a singularly depressive state, ready to call it a day where Jedi Order and the Force are concerned. For Luke Skywalker, it's all over, and Rey has her work cut out for her getting Luke Skywalker to change his mind. There are generational differences of opinion on the dark side of the Force.
Hard-core sci-fi series devotees will decide to what extent the new film functions in an equivalent way to how ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ did in the initial trilogy in 1980. Just as Luke Skywalker is ready to pack it in as far as perpetuating the Jedi tradition is concerned, so does Kylo Ren begin to question his abandonment of his true legacy.
The one character who begins to come into his own here is Oscar Isaac's fighter pilot Poe Dameron. His status seemed rather generic and uncertain in ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens,’ but there is more confidence here both in the writing and performance of the character as he steps up to fill the void left by Harrison Ford's Han Solo, without yet having achieved that sort of stature. Perhaps the character will be expanded with the release of the next episode, so watch this space! So all in all this is an amazing eye-popping, thrilling sci-fi 3D film, where you experience tons of mind blowing action and fight scenes, intense moments, plot twists galore, and some well-timed humour, and you will NOT be disappointed! There are scenes of self-sacrifice, lots of teamwork, loyalty, and especially female role models, so making it so worth seeing to especially inspire all age group fans of this sci-fi adventure!

This 3D Blu-ray release is definitely reference material and is easily one of best 3D renditions of this STAR WARS franchise and it also gives you some subtle experiences, however at other times, scenes seem to jump out at you in a very realistic way to show you that you are watching a 3D film, especially with the battles. On top of all that, the lengthy bomb bays seen in the first battle, the wide-open spaces on Crait, and the water that extends around Ahch-To that stretches as far as the eye can see while the land mass and the interesting slopes and angular rock formations that really take full advantage of the 3D format and are all amongst the best the 3D film has to offer. There are also some really awesome and spectacular moments; for example, the depth and the objects, as well as the debris, seemed to extend beyond the screen's front limits, and the special effects are totally spectacular all around.

Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:
Audio Commentary with Writer/Director Rian Johnson: Writer/Director Rian Johnson delivers a very enjoyably agreeable audio commentary track in which he dissects the film to an intimate degree. Rian Johnson discusses the famous fanfare, an alternate opening, visual effects, actors and characters, performances, set details, photographic elements, narrative details, the writing process and developing the film as its own entity and within the larger Star Wars universe, and much more. It's a fascinating track, full of honest insight as well as some typical commentary titbits. It's a great listen that offers a necessary added insight into the film.
Special Feature: The Director and the Jedi [2018] [1080p] [2.39:1] [95:23] Here we have a very intimate and interesting documentary delving into Rian Johnson's process as he comes in as a director new to the Star Wars universe. The documentary begins with the Production Wrap Party in London, UK, on the completion of the film ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ and it concludes with the last day of principal photography. One thing I did not like is seeing all these stupid nerdy pompous idiots wanting to know all about the new film ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ which really annoys me about these obsessive waste of space idiots. But the main thrust of the amazing insightful documentary, is that it solely focuses on the preparation for the main shoot — which includes some pre-shoots in September 2015, in Pinewood Studios, a couple months before ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ opens and the herculean task of filming a brand new Star Wars film. The focus that makes this documentary stand out is partly the director Anthony Wonke’s works incredibly well on his film with its own aims, goals, and themes. Indeed, while the documentary chronicles multiple aspects of making the film, from crafting the action sequences to building the massive sets at Pinewood Studios and also creating the massive models and the Sea Cow creatures in the separate department. The backbone of the documentary is the relationship between Rian Johnson and star Mark Hamill, and some fundamental disagreement over the direction of Luke Skywalker’s story line in ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ which Mark Hamill reluctantly agrees with the Directors direction of the character. Also we see Carrie Fisher on the set in her final role as Leia Organa says a few negative comments about the Director, but then also says she loved working with him. Then we get to see the first location shoot on the Skellig Michael Island off the West Coast of Ireland, where Luke Skywalker lived, which is classified as a World Heritage site and they had only a two day shoot. The feature-length making-of documentary offers an extensive peek behind the scenes. It’s a must-see not just for fans of ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI,’ but also just as a feature film unto itself. The Director and The Last Jedi is truly a compelling film all its own. Contributors include: Rian Johnson (Writer/Director), Ram Bergman (Producer), Steve Yedlin (Director of Photography), Jamie Christopher (First Assistant Director/Associate Producer), Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Neal Scanlan (Creature & Droid Effects Creative Supervisor), Tom Karnowski (Executive Producer/Unit Production Manager), Rick Heinrichs (Production Designer), Christopher Lowe (Supervising Art Director), Chris Corbould (British Special Effects Technician), Michael Kaplan (American Costume Designer), Nina Gold (Casting Director), Jane Ryan (Crowd Second Assistant Director), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Laura Dern (Vice Admiral Holdo), Rob Inch (Stunt Coordinator), Bob Ducsay (Film Editor), Peter Swords King (Hair & Makeup Designer), Frank Oz (Yoda), John Boyega (Finn) and Andy Serkis (Supreme Leader Snoke).
Special Feature: Balance of the Force [2018] [1080p] [2.39:1] [10:17] Writer/Director Rian Johnson shares his thoughts on the mythology of the Force, and especially Luke Skywalker's motivations in the film, Rey's place in the universe, and the Force connection between Rey and Kylo Ren, and the film's final confrontation. We get to see more behind-the-scene film location shoots on the Skellig Michael Island off the West Coast of Ireland. A lot of what is said in this special feature is also covered to some degree in the audio commentary track. Contributors include: Rian Johnson (Writer/Director), Daisy Ridley (Rey) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren).
Special Feature: Scene Breakdowns [2018] [1080p] [2.39:1] [33:01] Here we get to view three special features with a comprehensive insight into making three of the film's key sequences, and we also get to view some amazing artists illustrations depicting scenes we get to view in the film and here is what you get to view: Lighting the Spark: Creating the Space Battle; Snoke and Mirrors and Showdown on Crait. Contributors include: Janet Lewin (VP, Visual Effects & VFX Producer of Lucasfilm), Jason D. McGatlin (SVP, Physical Production at Lucasfilm), Candice Campos (VP, Physical Production at Lucasfilm), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron), Ren Klyce (Supervising Sound Editor at Skywalker Sound), Kevin Jenkins (Design Supervisor at Lucasfilm), Coya Elliot (Assistant Supervising Sound Editor at Skywalker Sound), Stephen Aplin (Animation Supervisor at ILM London), Steve Yedlin (Director of Photography), James Clyne (Concept Artist at ILM San Francisco), Kellu Marie Tran (Rose Tico), Ben Morris (Visual (Effects Supervisor at ILM London), Andrew Booth (Computer Graphics Supervisor), Carrie Fisher (Leia Organa), Chris Corbould (Special Effects Supervisor), Rick Heinrichs (American Production Designer), Laura Dern (Vice Admiral Holdo), Michael Beaulieu (Animation Supervisor at ILM Vancouver), Bonnie Wild (Sound Effects Editor at Skywalker Sound), Daniel Booty (Visual Effects Producer at ILM Vancouver), Matthew Wood (Supervising Sound Editor at Skywalker Sound), Mike Mulholland (Visual Effects Supervisor at Skywalker Sound), Andy Serkis (Snoke), Stephen Aplin (Animation Supervisor at ILM London), Benjamin Flynn (Senior Modeller at ILM London), Danielle Legovich (Visual Effects Producer at ILM London), Ram Bergman (Producer), Christopher Lowe (Supervising Art Director), Matthew Shumway (Animation Supervisor at ILM San Francisco), Tim Napper (Creature Concept Designer), Eddie Pasquarello (Visual Effects Supervisor at ILM San Francisco), James Clyne (Concept Artist at ILM San Francisco) and Enrico Damm (Digital Environment at ILM San Francisco). As usual, you can wither watch each item separately or Play All.
Special Feature: Andy Serkis Live! (One Night Only) [2018] [1080p] [1. 78:1] 2.39:1] [5:49] Director Rian Johnson wanted us to view this unique experience of viewing Andy Serkis and his performance as Snoke in the motion capture suit, prior to the CGI layers that would finally make it into the finished product that we get to see in the film, and is a fascinating insight into viewing something that the general cinema going public would not normally get to view and it is a fascinating process.
Special Feature: Deleted Scenes [2018] [1080p] [2.39:1] [23:02] Here at the start of this special feature we get an introduction from Rian Johnson with the following 14 deleted scenes, which are as follows: Alternate Opening; Paige's Gun Jams; Luke Has a Moment; Poe: Not Much of a Sewer; It's Kind of Weird That You Recorded That; The Caretaker Sizes Up Rey; Caretaker Village Sequence; Extended Fathier Chase scene; Mega Destroyer Incursion Extended Version; Rose Bites the Hand That Taunts Her; Phasma Squealed Like a Whoop Hog; Rose and Finn Go to Where They Belong; Rey and Chewie in the FALCON and The Costumes and Creatures of Canto Bight. You also have the optional extra with each deleted scene of an audio commentary by Rian Johnson (Writer/Director). As usual, you can either watch each deleted scene separately or Play All.
Finally, STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ 3D finds evil is in the ascendant. The Resistance are an intrepid, multi-everything group whose leaders include a battle-tested woman warrior, who has been fighting the good fight for years but is outnumbered and occasionally outmanoeuvred. Yes, the latest STAR WARS instalment saga is still here with us, and, lo and behold, it is still an amazing satisfying blockbuster sci-fi epic film, and at the same time it is an all-time out of this world entertainment. Remarkably, it has visual wit and definitely has also a human touch, which is no small achievement for a seemingly indestructible machine than that has now been going on for a fantastic 40 year old sci-fi STAR WARS film franchise and shows no signs of running out of steam. ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ 3D belongs to Mark Hamill in a portrayal that cuts to the core of what STAR WARS means to a generation of dreamers looking towards the heavens. In the 40 years since the actor first played Luke Skywalker, we have followed Mark Hamill from callow youth to Jedi Master. But it’s here that Mark Hamill gives the ultimate performance of his career, nailing every nuance of an iconic role and rewarding the emotional investment we have to expect from this accomplished actor. As the end credits roll at the end of the film ‘STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI’ 3D, we get to read a very poignant and justifiable on-screen tribute to "our princess Carrie Fisher," where a bell tolls on nostalgia-steeped memories of George Lucas's epic space saga. Very Highly Recommended!
