And that’s why we do these camera moves that are very wide-angle lenses and very clearly show you the layout of everything - so that when we get into the battle here, when the fighters come and you see, once again, our heroes don’t have a chance, it’s like hawks versus mice, we can just go nuts and get into the fun of the red and the white. So this is all about geography, this big pan here, establishing very clearly the two lines of battle and establishing the door right there that’s the objective. And then you see that she takes some strength and goes into battle. It’s a big, heroic moment, but you see she’s scared. It just feels like our brave heroes going into battle. Bob Ducsay, our editor, cut together this little Star Wars-y montage, which I love so much. Even them falling apart, this little gag here, just feeling like, what are they doing? They’re in basically rolling lawnmowers going up against these massive tanks. And you just want to feel like this is David versus Goliath. Everything from the sound design to the way ILM animated them - you can just see everything is wobbling on these things, even having the open canopy so our heroes feel very exposed. And here, we wanted to make these craft that they’re in, these ski speeders, as rickety as possible.
I wrote and directed “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.” So this is the Battle of Crait, which is the big battle at the end of the movie. Transcript Anatomy of a Scene | ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Rian Johnson narrates a battle sequence from his film, which is now available on digital. And then he gets down to the difficult business of putting his fingerprints on a franchise that deliberately resists individual authorship. The writer-director of “The Last Jedi,” Rian Johnson, frontloads the critical back story intel - who’s fighting who and the like - in the opening crawl. Keeping track of where each “Star Wars” title fits into the overall scheme of things can be brain-numbing (the movies weren’t made in story-chronological order), but the strongest ones work as stand-alones and let you just go with the onscreen flow. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” picks up where the story left off two years ago in “ The Force Awakens,” the leadoff of the series’ newest trilogy. Remarkably, it has visual wit and a human touch, no small achievement for a seemingly indestructible machine that revved up 40 years ago and shows no signs of sputtering out (ever). Yes, the latest “Star Wars” installment is here, and, lo, it is a satisfying, at times transporting entertainment.
The Resistance - an intrepid, multi-everything group whose leaders include a battle-tested woman warrior - has been fighting the good fight for years but is outnumbered and occasionally outmaneuvered.
