If any one thing about The Last Jedi has been contentious -- actually, no, strike that, everything about The Last Jedi has been contentious, including its approach to space combat (the Holdo Manoeuvre, anyone?). But according to one fan and critic, Rian Johnson's epic actually makes space combat in the Star Wars universe more explicable, not less.

For many Star Wars fans, a moment almost as exciting as the actual film debut is when it gets a home release. That's when all the deleted scenes come out, adding colour and context to the story. In the case of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, there were a few moments left on the cutting room floor that seem pretty important (or at least interesting) in hindsight.

Star Wars and toys have gone hand in hand ever since the franchise kicked off four decades ago. But usually, it's the movies dictating what we see on store shelves -- not the other way around. But in one particularly odd case, it ended up being that way for The Last Jedi.

The Last Jedi continues down its path to becoming the most explained Star Wars movie ever made, as director and writer Rian Johnson offers some interesting insight into one of the film's most intriguing moments.

Writer Gary Whitta worked on the screenplay for Rogue One. He's written episodes of Star Wars Rebels and contributed to a Star Wars book. Now, with the news he's writing a new comic, he'll have written official Star Wars stories in four different mediums.

I went into my first viewing of The Last Jedi knowing it was going to be an emotional ride no matter what.

More than most people in 2018, Rian Johnson seems like he's authentically enjoying Twitter. Debating Star Wars with angry fans, posting silly clapbacks and answering questions about supposed plot holes, it really feels like the superstar director is in his element.

Fans are still debating a lot of the content from Rian Johnson's Star Wars: The Last Jedi. And they likely will continue to do so for the rest of time. But the director recently reiterated the very logical reasoning behind one of the more contentious moments.

Almost a month after its release, fans are still vigorously debating many aspects of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Much of that centres around the treatment of Luke Skywalker, including his moments near the end of the film.

Want to watch the Lucasfilm Story Group dish on Star Wars: The Last Jedi for 30 minutes? Of course you do.

Some people, myself included, loved The Last Jedi. A lot of people hated it. That's fine!

Everyone's entitled to their opinions -- I hated Rogue One, after all, but I'm happy for those who got enjoyment from it. But when people say The Last Jedi is 'worse than the prequels' I have to question things because really, have you guys seen those movies recently?

Okay fine, cool. But make The Last Jedi's real best scene in 16-bit you cowards.

Ridley Scott has more than earned his right to speak with authority about Hollywood's approach to producing big-budget sci-fi films, and he absolutely knows it. In a recent interview with Vulture, the director shared his thoughts about Star Wars -- arguably the most popular sci-fi franchise in the world - and he did not mince words.

I want to talk about the weirdest scene in The Last Jedi. Because I also think it was also the best scene.

If you haven't noticed, I liked The Last Jedi quite a lot -- so I was quick to ask for the tie-in Visual Dictionary for Christmas this year. Beyond just being another way of making money off the Star Wars name (though it's definitely that as well) the dictionary has the answers to a lot of the questions I had after watching The Last Jedi.

Whether you're just looking for something to play over your days-off in the coming weeks or desperate to escape back into the world of Star Wars following The Last Jedi, there's plenty of options.

In a movie that adds a lot to the galaxy far, far away, Rose Tico is an important new window into the world of Star Wars: The Last Jedi -- and actress Kelly Marie Tran is clearly having the time of her life now that the movie is out. But a new behind-the-scenes featurette lets us see the moments that secured her place in the cast.

The response to The Last Jedi has been divisive to say the least. Some love it because it takes Star Wars in a bold new direction; some hate it for the same reason. While I enjoyed a great deal of the film, it profoundly depressed me, and here's why: The Last Jedi killed my childhood, but not in the way you think.

The First Order may have surprised the Resistance, as well as the audience, with its latest rebel scum-stopping device. But if Rogue One was any indication, it was a technological development we should have seen coming from light years away.
