'Star Wars - The last Jedi' part VIII...

Got to watch 'Star War's - the last Jedi' yesterday and thought it was quite an interesting storyline with three of it's main stars no longer in the movie i.e. the character of Hans Solo was killed by his son in part 7 and in this movie Luke Skywalker disappears presumably to the after life (although he could make an appearance again later) and Princess Leia has died in real life and won't feature in the next movie except perhaps her funeral?

I presume that there will be a Part 9 because there is one last Jedi (who happens to be a woman) left and a remnant of the Rebel cause but her past hasn't been revealed in detail. This leaves this 3 part triology in a quandry because throughout it's almost 50 year history these 3 characters have played a major role in the hearts and minds of their fans.

I remember anticipating the first 'Star Wars' movie back in the 70s as a child and being astonished by all the special effects that were amazing on big screen. There were unprecedented unimaginable feats that were screened for the first time on the movie screen that we now take for granted with the saturation of digital effects being a commonplace thing on TV and in movies.

Perhaps this film will signal the last movie and final trilogy that perhaps needs to come to its own natural end as although the fight between the perceived 'good' and 'evil' continues much like the Chronicles of Narnia (by C. S. Lewis) series where all was well when the main characters left but upon their return they must restore order from chaos long left behind from long ago.

I must say that I really enjoyed the first three movies in their heyday and the lost interest in the second triology, although I did watch all three of them, but now in its third trilogy I've regained interest and in watching the development of the movies over the years, Lucas Films has really pulled together an endearing series of movies for fans who will be interested in perhaps the last installment of its films in the next movie screening.

For now, I congratulation George Lucas Master film maker and director whose vision, must like Steve Jobs with Apple and I phones etc. were master crafters and visionaries who took us with them on a journey from their personal and professional discoveries to somehow try and make this world a better place...
