Hoth Takes #5: The Galaxy Quest of Star Wars

There’s so much to say about The Last Jedi that we’re devoting a second episode to it, but this time, we have a special guest: New York Times opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie, who ranks The Last Jedi behind only the original two Star Wars movies on his list. We discuss Jamelle’s view that The Last Jedi is the only sequel film with something profound to say about Star Wars, the value of subverting tropes, the tension between innovation and nostalgia, and the power of the idea that anyone can be a hero (shout-out to Broom Boy!).
