Should you see Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

Nicholas Barber reviews the new Star Wars film The Last Jedi.

The Last Jedi is the most intelligent film in the Star Wars franchise, according to BBC Culture film critic, Nicholas Barber. Watch the video to find out more.

If the 2015 film The Force Awakens was so similar to the 1977 original that it was basically a remake, then this year’s The Last Jedi more closely resembles The Empire Strikes Back.

And if the former film featured all the much-loved heroes of the original, then The Last Jedi plays things a bit differently, asking the audience to question if our heroes are really such heroes after all.

Watch the video above to find out more.
