In less than a week, we will all be sitting in a dark theater and being whisked away to a galaxy far, far away. For some lucky journalists, who must have made some sort of deal with the devil, that time has already come, and they just got out of the premiere for STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI. Now I know some of you are probably fuming with jealous rage, but don't worry, they aren't leaving us in the dark and have already begun hitting Twitter with their reactions. Is this more FORCE AWAKENS, or more ATTACK OF THE CLONES? If the reactions are to be believed, this will go down as one of the best STAR WARS movies yet, sporting jaw-dropping visuals, tremendous performances and some of the best moments in the entire franchise. Rian Johnson, Mark Hamill and the late Carrie Fisher are getting tons of praise, and if I were a betting man, I'd say a lot of WARS fans are going to be leaving the theater with a permanent smile. Mostly because of the Porgs.
Here are some of the early reactions hitting the web now.
Fun night out at the movies last night. #TheLastJedi is rich, dark, shocking, funny and NON STOP. There’s a deep-pull moment from the canon that will have the die-hards LOSING THEIR SHIT. (And Luke Skywalker is John Wick.) pic.twitter.com/rFq71MCzrJ

I just saw #StarWars #TheLastJedi and holy hell is it a masterpiece in a lot of insane ways. I think the standout factor is @rianjohnson’s A+ direction. There has never been a Star Wars Movie like this.

So #StarWars #TheLastJedi is absolutely beautifully shot, hilarious, and full of standout hero moments for everyone. Still processing but it’s (at an absolute minimum) Top 3 Of The Saga

To be clear: #StarWars #TheLastJedi has some story and character issues. It’s a little overcrowded and wastes some of the characters but those are really minor quibbles in the grand scheme of how much I liked it

There’s a scene in #StarWars #TheLastJedi that I keep playing over and over in my head, that is so stunning and unexpected that I don’t want to forget how I felt seeing it for the first time. This movie feels unlike any other Star Wars movie in all the ways I hoped. pic.twitter.com/zlDW4yOjp2

Not only are Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill at their very best as Leia and Luke in this movie, but Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver blow Rey and Kylo Ren out of the park. I didn’t expect where those characters went and it’s my favorite part of the movie. #TheLastJedi

It’s long and a LOT to unpack, but @rianjohnson made something very, very special with #StarWars #TheLastJedi. Don’t let yourself be spoiled!!! It’s better not knowing. I can’t wait to hear what you all think. #PorgNation

The Last Jedi is incredible. Character at the forefront, amazing action and so so so much emotional payoff decades in the making. I will be watching this one a lot. pic.twitter.com/KVOjLhwk27

Cannot overestimate just how gorgeous this film is. I salute you @rianjohnson – some of these shots are all-timers and then some
— ErikDavis (@ErikDavis) December 10, 2017
#StarWarsTheLastJedi floored me. @rianjohnson and the team nail so much – thrills, laughs, heart and most of all, pushing the characters/overall franchise a major step forward. Some really rich material to explore in the future. Can't wait for more.

To CLARIFY: I liked #TheLastJedi very much. I just didn’t love it. It has some great #StarWars moments, but it’s too slow, it’s too long, and it doesn’t take any chances. It’s all very familiar, which should make diehard fans happy. I guess. pic.twitter.com/n8sHncskHT

THE LAST JEDI: A little too long & dragged in the middle, but great fun overall! As good as The Force Awakens; Rogue One is better! More humor than expected, great #StarWars moments, #MarkHamill is awesome! A worthy Episode VIII pic.twitter.com/HHihSa788D

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is so very different, exciting, surprising. So many emotions, so many amazing moments. Stay away from spoilers.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is everything. Intense, funny, emotional, exciting. It’s jam-packed with absolutely jaw dropping moments and I loved it so, so much. I’m still shaking. pic.twitter.com/fHddWjo201

Impressed with #StarWars: #TheLastJedi. It makes some big, impressive and surprising moves that I definitely didn't expect. Not all of the plot stuff is exactly perfect, but the character work is once again fantastic, and it's just amazing to see Luke Skywalker back in action.
— Eric Eisenberg (@eeisenberg) December 10, 2017
#TheLastJedi is incredibly satisfying and hands down Mark Hamill's best performance as Luke Skywalker

There aren’t enough words to express how much I LOVED #StarWars #TheLastJedi! It is mind-blowing! I’m in geek heaven! pic.twitter.com/unXfYMkIle

I think #TheLastJedi may be the first Star Wars movie that's not just about growing up, but also about growing old. New characters mature, veterans learn about becoming more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

I am STUNNED by #StarWars #TheLastJedi. I gasped, I laughed, I screamed, I cried and I had the time of my life. Rian Johnson pulled it off, making what might be the best Star Wars movie ever. pic.twitter.com/0VE5M90dsH

#StarWars #TheLastJedi is bonkers. I honestly don’t have any words. It’s jam packed and full of surprises. Avoid spoilers at all costs!

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is a triumph. So many big moments, so much emotion, so much to digest. Had the whole crowd cheering and woah’ing.

#StarWars #TheLastJedi is AWESOME! I'm overwhelmed with all sorts of emotion on how incredible @rianjohnson's movie is! I can't wait to see it again. Also, PORGS!!!

What @rianjohnson has done will probably go down as one of the all time fan-favorite accomplishments in this franchise. #StarWars #TheLastJedi
