13 Reasons Why December Is Rich in Movie & TV Picks1 of 13
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
It's been a long two years since The Force Awakens, which reignited Star Wars fans across the globe by injecting new contours and characters into the Skywalker saga. With this latest episode, written and directed by Rian Johnson, fans finally get to dig into the larger questions that left viewers hanging at the end of Episode VII and with each new teaser and trailer, such as: Why has Luke given up on the Jedi? What is Rey's last name? What is Leia's fate? And, of course, what is up with that Porg? While Episode VIII cannot come soon enough for diehards, this latest chapter is also a sobering reminder of the saga's eventual end with Episode IX two years from now. Savor your Skywalkers now, folks. — Bret
