As everyone on the planet knows, opening next week is directorRian Johnson’sStar Wars: The Last Jedi. Unlike most movies where a lot of people know all the twists and turns before opening day, Disney and Lucasfilm have done an amazing job keeping the secrets ofThe Last Jediunder wraps. It’s actually a small miracle they did it considering the speed at which things leak on the internet. Knowing the cast was extremely guarded with what they would say about their characters and the film, when I attended the Los Angeles press day, I tried my best to ask some fun questions that I knew they could answer....

And while Lucas oversaw the original trilogy and then returned to the well in the late 90s to bring his prequel trilogy to fruition (to somewhat mixed results…), the third and final trilogy in hisStar Warsfranchise moved ahead without his direct involvement....
