Rian Johnson offers brilliant Twitter response to Star Wars: The Last Jedi force projection criticism

January 20, 2018 by Matt Rodgers

Officially the most divisive Star Wars movie of the saga, Rian Johnson has spent the last few days divulging information about creative choices made on Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Whether that’s questions about Rey’s parentage, Snoke’s fate, or what happened to the Knights of Ren, he has answered them in a manner that has fully justified what ended up in the final cut, regardless of what you and millions of others might think.

Well, now he has used his official Twitter account (@rianjohnson) to defend criticism of Luke Skywalker’s force use in a key scene of the film, and frankly, it’s wonderful.
