“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” have already been watched by some very lucky eyes and, even if official reviews won’t be live until December 12th, there is already a buzz on social media about the 8th episode of the Star Wars saga. ( No spoilers below – only reactions )
The social media reviews are all positive and it is quite unbelievable given the fact that the last Star Wars movie was something of a disappointment to fans and critics alike.
And still, some Star Wars fans were quite skeptical about this 8th episode. And when we’re talking about movies fans, the Star Wars fans are probably the most difficult ones and can’t be satisfied easily.
Anyways, the latest episode of the Skywalker saga, directed by Rian Johnson was premiered last Saturday and some lucky fans got their chance of seeing the movie before everybody else.
“The Last Jedi is bold, courageous, & risky. This isn’t a franchise spinning its wheels. The surprises work. The action is inventive. The Force mythology is new but consistent w/ canon. Everything feels earned. @RianJohnson nailed it. @HamillHimself is at his best. Everyone shines”
said Movieweb own Ryan Downey on Twitter.
Gizmodo’s Germain Lussier said “Star Wars: The Last Jedi is everything. Intense, funny, emotional, exciting. It’s jam-packed with absolutely jaw dropping moments and I loved it so, so much. I’m still shaking”.
Deadpool creator thinks the movie is the best Star Wars ever made: “There is nothing better than The Last Jedi”, while SlashFilm Peter Sciretta said:
“Star Wars: The Last Jedi is so very different, exciting, surprising. So many emotions, so many amazing moments. Stay away from spoilers.”
The movie “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”, says Jen Yamato from LA Times.
Here are just some of the many positive reviews that are online:

Cannot overestimate just how gorgeous this film is. I salute you @rianjohnson – some of these shots are all-timers and then some

I can’t believe The Last Jedi exists. @rianjohnson is a madman and I love him for it. He takes Star Wars to the edge and throws it over. What a crazy, awesome movie. We’ll be talking about this one for a long, long time.

#TheLastJedi is incredibly satisfying and hands down Mark Hamill's best performance as Luke Skywalker

Impressed with #StarWars: #TheLastJedi. It makes some big, impressive and surprising moves that I definitely didn't expect. Not all of the plot stuff is exactly perfect, but the character work is once again fantastic, and it's just amazing to see Luke Skywalker back in action.

THE LAST JEDI has more goosebump moments than any Star Wars movie I can remember. I was grinning for most of the 2 and a half hours. A worthy and great Star Wars film. The franchise is in great hands. Kudos to @rianjohnson

#TheLastJedi is going to spark much more debate amongst fandom than TFA. It's good! But there's a bit more fat than we're used to in non-prequel Star Wars films.
