Though I’m not one to buy much physical media, this Star Wars: The Last Jedi is an undeniably great product. The design is stellar, and the package comes with some appealing bonus features. Balance of the Force is the most interesting to me, as I want Director Rian Johnson to explain his reasoning behind key elements of Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
“Luke Skywalker’s peaceful and solitary existence gets upended when he encounters Rey, a young woman who shows strong signs of the Force. Her desire to learn the ways of the Jedi forces Luke to make a decision that changes their lives forever. Meanwhile, Kylo Ren and General Hux lead the First Order in an all-out assault against Leia and the Resistance for supremacy of the galaxy”
Star Wars: The Last Jedi stars Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Carrie Fisher, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Kelly Marie Tran, Benicio Del Toro, Andy Serkis, Laura Dern, Domnhall Gleeson, and Gwendoline Christie.
