Star Wars: The Last Jedi Was Never The Real Problem

The Last Jedi remains one of Star Wars’ most debated sequels, but did The Rise of Skywalker make Episode VIII look worse in hindsight? For Star Wars Week, Klein Felt and Jamie Parker revisit Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi and break down the ways Lucasfilm could have followed up its boldest ideas. They explore whether The Rise of Skywalker failed to pay off Rey’s “nobody” reveal, Finn’s Force-sensitive arc, Rose Tico’s importance, Kylo Ren becoming Supreme Leader, and the larger stakes of the sequel trilogy. The Last Jedi still shapes Star Wars debate nearly a decade later, but should Rey have stayed a nobody? Should Finn and Rose have led a bigger Resistance story? Should Kylo Ren have gone darker before any redemption?
