Review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017) by Jimmy S — 27 Jan 2018

There are so many things I like in TLJ for so many reasons, from the big turns of events to the small little moments.

And one small little moment is when Luke is teaching Rey about the force by letting her reach out and feel her surroundings, it eventually leads to ...a force. It's "the" force but because she narrates what she feels as she goes she says "a force" (I imagine) just the millisecond before it dawns on her, "ahh, of course, THE force".

And it's so perfect because they went with "A" force, we really get to discover the force with Rey. If she said THE force it wouldn't give the same sense of discovery, it would feel more casual like "yup, and the force between it all".

It's such a beautiful moment and I love that Rian & co paid such attention to little subtle details like that.
