This is also the first Star Wars film to heavily indulge in flashback as opposed to visions. And Johnson isn’t afraid to go trippy, either - a scene in which a character repeatedly clicks their fingers could have come from a ’60s arthouse flick. In fact, there is a moment involving Leia that is as poetic as the series has ever been. Time and again, Johnson finds a cinematic grammar that feels new to Star Wars big close-ups (tender touching hands), top shots, elegant camera tracks and pulling out in-world sound, leaving just music and image. If Episode VII was Han Solo’s movie, then Episode VIII belongs to Luke.
