Star Wars: The Last Jedi premiere—Princes Harry and William to join stars on red carpet in London (standard.co.uk).
Prince William and Prince Harry are set to join a host of stars for the premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi in London on Tuesday. The royals will meet members of the film’s cast and crew before the screening, which will take place at the Royal Albert Hall. The brothers have cameo roles as stormtroopers, actor John Boyega previously revealed.
And of course the film featuring the last film appearance of Carrie Fisher, who died shortly after completing her scenes (Latest Picks 23rd Dec. 2016).
With regards what critics have though of the 8th film in the Star Wars saga:
Star Wars: the Last Jedi review—an explosive thrill-ride of galactic proportions (theguardian.com).
The Last Jedi gives you an explosive sugar rush of spectacle. It’s a film that buzzes with belief in itself and its own mythic universe—a euphoric certainty that I think no other movie franchise has. ’… What there is, admittedly, is an anticlimactic narrative muddle in the military story [being a … convoluted and slightly unsatisfying parallel plot strand about the Resistance’s strategic military moves as the evil First Order closes in], but this is not much of a flaw considering the tidal wave of energy and emotion that crashes out of the screen in the final five minutes. It’s impossible not to be swept away.
