Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the eighth movie in the long-running space/adventure series originally developed by George Lucas, was released in 2017. Watch a clip from the movie and answer the discussion questions that follow. “Submit” your response to each question.

Discussion Questions

1. Given what you’ve seen here, do you think this movie needs special effects in order to tell its story effectively? Why or why not? How might the viewing experience differ without these effects?
Your response has been provisionally accepted and will be graded by your instructor.

2. The original Star Wars targeted young people, a new primary audience for Hollywood. Forty years later, are there elements of The Last Jedi that are designed to target that same audience? If so, which ones? If not, what other audience do you think the filmmakers might have in mind for this movie?
