“I know this seems like almost a sacrilegious thing to say, but it’s like [the story] transcends Star Wars. It’s more than just fan service or service to this nostalgic thing. It actually takes the themes that have been bubbling and just delves into it with just a subversive energy, [though] at the same time completely respecting it.
But respecting it so much that it was not afraid to really put the spotlight on: ‘What are we saying about the light side and the dark side?’ ‘What are we saying about what the Jedi are and what they represent?’ ‘What are we saying about anger, and about hope, and about lineage, and about cynicism, and loss, and all these things?’”
— Oscar Isaac on The Last Jedi
