Connections Star Wars: The Last Jedi by DJ Forrest


Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

Based on characters by George Lucas, The Last Jedi tells the story of the bitter struggle for freedom against the tyrannical threat of the New Order. With fierce battles, lightsabers and mind tricks, and some good old fashioned humour, The Last Jedi is one of THE best Star Wars films to date of the new Disney saga, despite critics stating that it fell shy of the previous film. It depends how you look at it.

For me, I loved it that much, I need to go back and watch it again, to see the bits I know I missed the first time around.

Plus, the fact that while watching I squeed loudly (at the cinema) when I saw Mark Lewis Jones. It’s not surprising that many cast and crew from the Whoniverse feature in the film, given much of the filming was in the UK. So it was only natural that I’d want to hunt for a few I didn’t were in the film.

So, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to.
