Early reactions to a rough cut of Star Wars: The Last Jedi describe it as “different”

April 15, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Although Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released to mass critical success, the one seemingly unanimously agreed upon gripe was that it aped A New Hope, so it’s refreshing to hear that those who have seen an early rough cut of director Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi are describing the blockbuster as “different”.

Speaking to Fandango at Star Wars Celebration, Daisy Ridley touched on the topic saying: “I’ve spoken to a number of people that have seen a rough cut, and everyone’s like, ‘It’s different. It’s different.’ So I think with Rian’s vision and his image, and also I think he had J.J., who you know brought all the old fans back and the new fans in and he had all this stuff. Rian, I think, had more room to kind of do his thing.”
