Star Wars: The Last Jedi Spoiler-Free Review

It's big. It's shocking. It's inventive. It's Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

For those who have not yet seen the movie, firstly, go out and see it. Those who still haven't, do not worry about reading any spoilers here. We will be posting another review that will involve "spoilers" as well for fans who wish to read that review as well. EDIT: This review reflects the opinion of one admin, Echo. Other admins may disagree or agree.

It has been two years since The Force Awakens first aired in theaters and ever since then, fans have been asking questions and answering them with a large amount of out-of-this-galaxy theories. While not all of my questions have been answered, I will say this; I walked away very satisfied.

Perhaps one of the best things about this movie is director Rian Johnson's daring story line. Although there were times where the plot was slow or seemed forced (pun certainly not intended), it kept me guessing into the very beautiful end. There were multiple twists and turns where my jaw literally dropped, my eyes started to water, or I started laughing. The plot was definitely dark at times, but it was so much more. There was humor, anticipation, hope, and sadness, especially during Carrie Fisher's scenes. Be sure to go with an open mind, however. As Luke Skywalker said in the trailer, "This is not going to go the way you think."

Ever since A New Hope premiered in 1977, Star Wars has always had stunning visual effects (yes, I do count The Phantom Menace). The Last Jedi is no different. From the shocking red earth on the salt planet of Crait to the gorgeous crystal fox, it seemed as if I could reach through the big screen and touch the movie. For fans of the television shows Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, there are visual nods if you can catch them. And the lightsabers were beautifully done. 

Overall, I would rate the film nine out of ten stars, only because the story seemed too slow at first and it was forced at times and we did not see enough of Nien Nunb. However, the characterizations were incredibly well done, visual effects were stunning, there were nods to not only the originals, but the prequels and the television series, and it left me in awe. Never before has a movie made my jaw drop, and The Last Jedi made mine drop at least six times. This was most definitely a movie worthy of the title Star Wars.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi to be Released Early in the U.K.

Congratulations Nerds in the U.K.; Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be released December 14 to U.K. theaters.

A report from Radio Times has announced that the long awaited sequel to Star Wars: The Force Awakens will be available for fans' viewing pleasure one day before those who currently live in the United States. Fans, however, should note that the earliest premiere of the movie will be December 13 in Sweden, France, Italy, Norway, and the Netherlands.

This comes as no surprise, especially considering that both Rogue One and The Force Awakens were released a day early in the United States.

With the early release, fans should avoid social media on from December 13 to the 14 to prevent spoilers from excited fans in these areas.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is set to be released December 14 in the U.K. and December 15 everywhere else.

Fan Theory of Why Han Solo Had To Die!

RIP Han Solo!

What is up everyone this is Cannon Adams from the Nerds of the Force Facebook page and I just want to show you my fan theory of why Han Solo had to die. I wrote this theory moments after the release of the casting call for Episode 8 and noticed that Harrison Ford is not even on the cast! From then on I knew that Han Solo has to be dead for sure because if they don't show him in Episode 8 and then decide to show him in Episode 9, in my opinion that would not make sense and would be lame because if you don't show a iconic character in the next movie, then he is officially dead and we need to move on. So with that said below is a picture of my theory. Yes it is long like an essay, but this is what rummages in my mind almost all the time trying to piece the puzzle together before the next movie comes out and this is what I got. Hope you all enjoy my theory and if some of you do not agree with my theory, please just be respectful because no theory is a wrong theory, especially when it comes to being a fan of Star Wars. Enjoy and May The Force Be With You!
