The Last Jedi Vs The Force Awakens

Improved Essays
Fans have been awaiting the new release of the Episode 9 of the Star Wars Saga; The Lat Jedi. But did this film really receive optimistic reviews about itself.
The Last Jedi is one of the best movies in the Star Wars franchise, for much the same reason The Empire Strikes Back is one of the best. Where the first movie in a trilogy is a thrilling adventure – 2015’s The Force Awakens mirrors a new hope – the second complicates the saga by introducing doubt, failure and sadness. Fans are indeed upset with many of director Rian Johnson’s choices in The Last Jedi. And it is often the choices that complicate franchise canon and characters that have stirred up the most anger.
The Star Wars movie is evidently a broken film with a budget of 200-217 million

    I cannot imagine my life without Star Wars. What ultimately appeals to me about Wars is its characters. Luke Skywalker and Han Solo entice to me in different ways. Star Wars is ultimately about characters, and that’s why it has become such a cultural phenomenon—we see bits of ourselves in the characters. Whether it is the courage and virtue that Luke Skywalker represents, the cock and roguish aspects that Han Solo represents, or the strong-willed and independent aspects that Princess Leia represents, the characters of Star Wars are archetypes of our world today, and that’s what makes Star Wars so captivating to everyone, and to…

    Although, this movie was turned down by many of the studios, because they thought it would be too risky and thought that the audience would not like it. However, Century Fox gave Lucas a chance and when Star Wars came out it broke all box office records and earned seven Academy Awards (Varma). Lucas went on to make five more Star Wars movies, which went more into the lives of Luke Skywalker and his friends, then into Anakin Skywalker's life who was Luke’s father. A new Star Wars movie is coming out, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, however Lucas was not the leading director involved in the movie, but Lucas Films was still a part of the movie making process.

    Francis Ford Coppola has some strong opinions about George Lucas and Star Wars. During an interview at the Marrakech International Film Festival (via ScreenDaily), the Godfather director spoke about his longtime friend's most famous creation, saying that the big budget cycle of the Star Wars machine drove Lucas away from his roots as an experimental filmmaker. "I think Star Wars, it's a pity, because George Lucas was a very experimental crazy guy and he got lost in this big production and never got out of it," Said Coppola. "I still hope that he made so much money out of it that he will just make some little movies. He promises me that he will."…

    “I don’t know. I’m making this up as I go” said by Indiana Jones, perfectly describes how Steven Spielberg wanted the movie to be charismatic, charming, and funny as he admitted that this was, “the first movie where I actually shot the movie without thinking.” From native tribes and snakes to Nazis, it seems Indiana Jones can’t keep himself out of trouble when it comes to searching for lost treasure. That being said, his adventures are a roller coaster with twists and turns that you would least expect. “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark” with George Lucas, the executive producer who birthed “Star Wars”, and Steven Spielberg as the director who made “Jaws”, is an out-of-body experience that requires an immense amount of imagination.…

    One of modern society’s favourite pastimes is watching and comparing films. Films have the ability to make us laugh, cry, or even think while touching our hearts no matter what the genre is. Contemporary media genres have dramatically changed since classical literary times, which divided theatrical and literature into groups of drama and comedy, giving birth to genres. Films have become difficult to place into a specific genre, as “any theme may appear in any genre” (Chandler 1997, p. 1) resulting in genres blending continuously. For example, a Science Fiction (Sci-Fi) film is classified in that genre due to its situational context and fundamental plot, though, Sci-Fi films may also be categorised into genres such as horror (Aliens), comedy…
