Star Wars 7x7: A Daily Bite-Sized Dose of Star Wars Joy
It's the seventh anniversary of the release of The Last Jedi, and with a little distance from the discourse, the evidence is clear - by box office dollars, ticket sales, DVD sales, critics ratings, and audience surveys, TLJ is one of the most successful Star Wars movies of all time. And that's even when you consider the kind of storytelling corner Rian Johnson was backed into by J.J. Abrams and The Force Awakens.
