He deepened Rey and Kylo, giving them some of the best scenes in the film. And although not everyone will agree, I loved his daring take on Luke Skywalker, who had grown embittered after his failure to train a new crop of Jedi, until training Rey pulled him back to the man he used to be. Speaking of characters, Johnson can give a lot of depth and personality to the ones in this movie. While we aren’t sure if Johnson’s new trilogy will explore the Force, Jedi and Sith, I hope he is allowed to flesh out the Gray Jedi concept and create more characters that explore it. Similarly, Kylo Ren would feel the light calling to him, but he committed to the dark side, unlike Rey. While being trained by Luke, Rey occasionally felt the pull to the dark side. The Last Jedi also explored the concept of a “Gray Jedi,” a Force user who can use both the light and dark sides of the Force without fully succumbing to the dark. Where Star Wars stories tended to focus on a group of blood relatives able to use the Force, Johnson changed things so that anyone could use it, from a “nobody” like Rey to the Broom Boy who closes out the film (at least until The Rise of Skywalker swung it back in the other direction). George Lucas’ Star Wars prequel trilogy introduced the ideas of midi-chlorians, microscopic organisms that are the source of the power known as the Force. Applying that kind of scientific explanation took some of the mystery and magic out of the original movies, but Johnson brought it back with The Last Jedi. Luke even has a scene where he explains the Force to Rey in a way that’s reminiscent of Yoda’s explanation in The Empire Strikes Back, something that has less to do with science and more with spiritual ideas of energy and balance. It’ll be interesting to see how he takes the ideas he set up in Episode VIII and expands on them.
Johnson has a habit of subverting fans expectations, whether it’s in his original movies like Looper and Knives out or in franchise tentpoles like The Last Jedi.

The Last Jedi may have been the most contentious movie in the series (at least until The Rise of Skywalker came out a couple years later), but I couldn’t help but love Johnson’s refreshing take on the galaxy far, far away.
