The wait is over, and\xa0The Last Jedi\xa0has arrived! Even having seen the movie only a few times each, we already have so much to analyze and discuss from Episode VIII. Before we delve into any of that, though, we share our initial reactions to the movie. Tricia Barr, B.J. Priester, and Kay Serna are joined by\xa0Looking For Leia\xa0producer and director Annalise Ophelian to break down our rollercoasters of emotion from experiencing\xa0The Last Jedi.

Naturally, this episode carries a massive\xa0SPOILER WARNING, as we do not hesitate to get into the biggest and most surprising moments in the movie.

We begin by considering whether the talking points, trailers, and other promotion for\xa0The Last Jedi\xa0provided fans with accurate guidance on what the movie ultimately would unfold. We then talk about the themes and influences that first caught our attention in watching the film. From the big picture we transition to our reactions to the arcs for the principal characters, including Rey and Kylo Ren, Rose and Finn, Poe and Holdo, Leia, and Luke. We conclude by picking our favorite moments from\xa0The Last Jedi.

Needless to say, this movie will provide topics for discussion on the podcast for many months to come.
