Now on to the review.

But I am not complaining. I think it was interesting to do it like that. Our villains in this movie are Kylo Ren, who IS NOT a Sith (at least not yet, but might in the sequels to come) and the First Order, who want to the map to find and kill Master Luke. ( Yes, Luke is a Master Jedi this past 30 odd years since The Return of the

    #thelastjedi. For some it is the farce of the entire Star Wars canon, for others a great, emancipated sci-fi movie. I do not blame The Last Jedi for offering strong female characters. Actually, Star Wars has always done that. I reproach the film for not understanding its own purpose, the heroic journey.

Rather, it 'd be egotistical to claim that I, and I alone, have this one distinctive, singular something to contribute to the Michigan State community. That said, however, I do believe that I have qualities that would further enrich and diversify Michigan State 's campus life.

    213 Words  | 1 Pages

    As with most of these columns, the reasons why Darth Vader is unique also reach into why he's the best.
