STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI First with The Force Awakens then with Rogue One, Star Wars has dominated cinemas for the past two Christmases. And there are few things surer than it happening again this year with The Last Jedi. Directed by Rian Johnson (Looper), Episode VIII has Rey (Daisy Ridley) joining Luke (Mark Hamill) on an adventure to unlock the mysteries of the Force. Johnson has hinted that Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) has a strong storyline as well. "I think Rey and Kylo are almost like a dual protagonist," he has said. Joining the adventure are Leia (the late Carrie Fisher), Finn (John Boyega) and Poe (Oscar Isaac).
