Star Wars: The Last Jedi Movie Review: How Does It Hold Up?
(GameSpot PS3 News)
 


In a pivotal Star Wars: The Last Jedi scene, one character urges another to `let it all die.` The character is talking about relics of past generations: Jedi, Sith, rebels, empires. At times, this movie feels determined to do just that. If 2015`s The Force Awakens bent over backward to be like the original movies, The Last Jedi does the same to buck your expectations.
