Luke appears and confronts Kylo alone so that the surviving Resistance fighters can escape. Kylo orders the First Order forces to fire on Luke to no effect, then engages Luke in battle himself. Kylo strikes Luke with his lightsaber, only to learn that he has been fighting Luke's Force projection. Luke defiantly tells Kylo that he will not be the last Jedi, while Rey uses the Force to help the remaining Resistance fighters escape via the Falcon. Back on Ahch-To, an exhausted Luke peacefully dies and becomes one with the Force. Leia reassures everyone that the rebellion has all that is needed to rise again. On Canto Bight, one of the children that helped Finn and Rose escape grabs a broom with the Force and gazes hopefully up into space.
"StarWars: The Last Jedi is a different take on the Star Wars universe with a new director replacing JJ Abrahams. The absence of Harrison Ford it was certainly a different feeling while watching. It takes the Star Wars expanded universe to new heights but also new lows. It tries add to the lore of Star Wars by adding new species and new planets but ultimately falls a bit flat as it feels like they are trying to force it while in previous interactions it just flows. The story was unique as by the end of the movie no one is any better off then when it started. Mark Hamil reprises his role as the universe saving Luke Skywalker extremely well but feels under utilized. The highlight of the whole movie was Ster Kinekors new D box seats, they immersed the viewer in the movie like never before and in a way i never would have expected"
