And its UHD Blu-ray release is the sort of home video treatment that the saga has always deserved but rarely gotten. Simply put, The Last Jedi is truer to the spirit, intent, and philosophy of Star Wars than any Star Wars film has been in years. The fact that it manages to be so outright fun in the process is a minor miracle in itself. Because of all its silly creatures, swashbuckling adventure sequences, million-dollar-a-minute special effects, and cheeky humor, The Last Jedi is at its heart a deeply personal, deeply thematic, deeply deconstructive, big-budget indie film that forces longtime fans to contend with questions about what Star Wars even is and why its unique blend of mythology, arthouse pastiche, and B-movie kitsch works as well as it does. Is Star Wars art or entertainment? The simplest answer to that question is, “It’s both, of course.” But Episode VIII: The Last Jedi proves the question to be less simple than it first appears.
