The success of The Last Jedi, like its father before it, will most likely rest on the conclusion of the trilogy.

It's the one we've been waiting for.

"Star Wars" is not "Breaking Bad," and the same narrative tricks that worked for the latter feel jarringly out of place in the former.

The Last Jedi is very much its own entity, exploring new routes as it teases out themes that have always been present in the Skywalker saga.
