Yet within all this repetition, Johnson uses his solitary writing and directing duties to massage and then manipulate our nostalgia. Hence why the First Order is even more imperial this time, striking back against Resistance forces who look increasingly like rebels Jedi and evil sorcerers alike sit in chairs while skeptically sizing up would-be apprentices and we even get an epic battle on a planet that may as well be called Salt Hoth given how powdery white those crystals look when the AT-M6 walkers stomp across the landscape like mechanized buffalo grazing during the dregs of winter. To be sure, Rian Johnson’s evocative and often exhilarating sequel continues the post-Disney mandate to remix elements that bask in the familiar. At last we have, for the first time in ages, a Star Wars movie that’s all too happy to go where we don’t expect. But for all his success, the rewards found in The Last Jedi prove even greater. ![]() ![]() And to his credit, he did just that by making a shockingly giddy reinvention of that galaxy far, far away that also played like the greatest hits of what came before. Abrams had an unenviable task two years ago when he set out to make what became The Force Awakens: reboot Star Wars without changing anything. This is all speculation at this point, but it does make more sense than Darth Vader and Jar Jar Binks showing up in The Last Jedi poster.J.J. However, in addition to the normal characters on the Dark Side, Luke Skywalker is also shown in looming move, leading many to believe that as previously rumored, Luke goes bad in the upcoming movie. The Light has all of the characters from the Resistance, including Luke, Rey, General Organa, Poe, Finn, Rose, and more. ![]() There's also a new standee for The Last Jedi that features the Light on one side and the Dark on the other. Jar Jar Binks has to be the best one out of all of the mock posters though. While some fans celebrated the apparent spot, others began to mock it for presumably seeing something that isn't really there. It does vaguely look like the Sith Lord, if you squint apparently, as previously mentioned, not everyone was quite so sure. Turning the poster upside down to reveal Jar Jar Binks has to be one of the better trolling efforts seen on the internet in quite some time, and it was done quickly, just like the Darth Vader helmet. Some still argue that Disney did the Darth Vader mask on purpose, which may very well be true, but others don't see it that way and maintain that it's a clever, unintentional trick. ![]() But what happens when you flip that poster upside down? Obviously, this is a joke that a fan made, but it is pretty well done and plays off of the hype that Darth Vader's mask shows up on the theatrical poster for The Last Jedi that was released on Monday. Many believe that you can see Darth Vader's mask in the poster if you look hard enough, and that Disney did it deliberately. When the new poster was released, many began to notice that Darth Vader's helmet is sort of visible from a certain angle, but this changes everything. However, those fans may have been on to something as Jar Jar Binks can clearly be seen in the new poster for The Last Jedi. Many have compared the Porgs in Star Wars: The Last Jedi to the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi, but a few Star Wars fans have taken it a step further and started comparing the Porgs to Jar Jar Binks, quite possibly the most hated character ever.
