21st Century Cult Continues with Star Wars: The Last Jedi

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

21st Century Cult travels to a galaxy far, far away for the most divisive film in the Star Wars franchise — Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Luke Skywalker’s peaceful and solitary existence gets upended when he encounters Rey, a young woman who shows strong signs of the Force. Her desire to learn the ways of the Jedi forces Luke to make a decision that changes their lives forever. Meanwhile, Kylo Ren and General Hux lead the First Order in an all-out assault against Leia and the Resistance for supremacy of the galaxy.

Along with its daring choices, Johnson’s film expanded the Star Wars universe with beautiful visuals, interesting new worlds, and a new side of the force that audiences had never seen before.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi screens starting Thursday, May 4th.
Thursday, May 4 – 7:45pm
Friday, May 5 – 10pm
Saturday, May 6 – 10pm
