Haven't seen Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi yet? If not, you can't entirely be blamed, at least if you live in a city that had a ton of advance theater sell-outs. Still, between the $220 million opening weekend and the number of Star Wars fans who frequent Ars, chances are, you found a way to see Rian Johnson's rapturous, mostly amazing series debut.

For those who haven't seen the film and still clicked this article's very descriptive headline, it's not too late to remain unspoiled; our positive, light-touch review from last week can be found here. Otherwise, I have taken a full week since seeing last week's early press screening to mull over the film, not to mention a few very excited weekend chats with friends and colleagues. Like other classic Star Wars entries, this one is built for rewatching and talking about with friends and Rebellion allies, so in that spirit, let's dive into some incredibly spoilerriffic thoughts on The Last Jedi.

Seriously: It's all spoilers from here on out. You've been very, very warned.
