Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review Roundup: What Do Critics Think?
(GameSpot Wii News)
 


With just days before fans can finally see a new Star Wars movie, the reviews are in. Critics are sharing their thoughts about Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the results are very encouraging.Thus far, the newest installment in the Star Wars saga has a score of 86 on Metacritic.
