Fan theorists were certain that Rian Johnson’s The Last Jedi would be to The Empire Strikes Back what JJ Abrams’ The Force Awakens was to the original Star Wars, a movie full of Jedi training sessions on remote planets, rebel backs against the wall and darkling, curveball plot twists. In the end that was only part of the story, for this was a movie that gave us, in the words of Luke Skywalker in one of its earliest trailers, “so much more”. New Force powers, abundant alien creatures like nothing we’ve seen before, and a complex, yet satisfying return for the galaxy’s greatest hero.

Did Snoke deserve to be written out so ruthlessly, a mere pawn for Adam Driver’s Kylo Ren to access his full dark side inner rage? And what was going on with Leia’s space walk? Here’s a chance to give your verdict on the movie’s key talking points.
