With The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, directors J.J. Abrams and Rian Johnson created two very distinct Star Wars movies; Episode VII was a purposeful return to the classic era, while Episode VIII was essentially a deconstruction of that ideal.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi is available now on digital download now and 4K, Blu-ray and DVD from March 27.
While there’s been a backlash against The Last Jedi and specifically Johnson’s bold creative choices with much-loved characters – with it even suggested that Abrams will revert some of them when he returns for Star Wars 9 – Lucasfilm is seemingly happy with both.
While few can agree on Episode VIII, what nobody would dispute is that the two creators approached Star Wars from very different, equally evocative angles.
