Star Wars: The Last Jedi

A bad day at the movies is better than a good day at work. A good day at the movies is simply glorious. Thus was my feeling today at Alamo Drafthouse in Ashburn seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I don’t get to the movies often, so when I do it’d better be damn good. This one was.

Without giving too much away, yes, this eighth installment of the Star Wars series stacks up against those I would call “the good ones.” The story’s there, the special effects are there, and of course the most satisfying part of any Star Wars film: the humor. There are some clever nods to previous films, just subtle enough to be rewarding to loyal viewers.

They’re going to keep making these as long as they keep making money, which is to say until the end of time.

And I’ll be at every one.
