KFOG REVIEW: “STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI” – SPOILER FREE & “FERDINAND”

This week brings my most anticipated film of the year, so I present my “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” review, spoiler free! If you have younger children you may want to consider “Ferdinand” from Blue Sky Studios instead.

“Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was everything I wanted and more. Returning from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” are Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Gwendoline Christie, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, and Anthony Daniels. They’re joined by Kelly Marie Tran, Laura Dern, and Benicio Del Toro. Rian Johnson takes the helm as well.
