If conventional wisdom is to be believed, middle children can be problematic. The Last Jedi seems to be proof of this, having neither its elder sibling’s skill in pandering to expectation, nor (I predict) its younger’s ability to get away with anything. Caught between sticking to tradition and forging its own path, the film makes some bold choices; not all well-executed, but all purposeful and mostly welcome. This may not be the Star Wars we’re looking for, but perhaps it’s the Star Wars we need.
