Why watch this? This
is a worthy 2nd film with action and plot twists galore.
Plot Summary:
Rey travels to the distant planet of Ahch-To to find Luke
Skywalker and persuade him to rejoin the fight against the First
Order. Meanwhile, the Resistance is engaged in a desperate fight
for survival as they are pursued through space by the First
Order fleet, who can track them through hyperspace.

Dad's Preview:
The Force Awakens
(2015) certainly set the story on a path with
ripe expectations. This story, advertised in all red, brings back
the legendary Luke Skywalker who reluctantly agrees to mentor Rey on her
Jedi journey. This slightly over-stuffed epic covers a lot of
ground: Rey's training with Luke; Finn, Poe and Rose head to a
remote planet to find a way to disable the First Order's
tracking device; Kylo Ren faces Supreme Leader Snoke. The film's climax
features Luke, as he faces the First Order alone, giving the
Resistance team time to escape. It's a wonderfully memorable scene.
After watching this film, I was all- in for this
trilogy's finale. |
