Yet there is little comedy from Snoke’s other instrument of evil, the emotionally conflicted Ren. Snoke has the dastardly but comically hapless General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) to do his dirty work for him, facilitating some cheap but welcome laughs. The Last Jedi skilfully continues the handover of the Star Wars baton to a younger generation. Han Solo is dead, killed by his and Leia’s son Kylo Ren (Driver), and the villainous First Order’s ineffably evil, incomparably ugly Supreme Leader Snoke (a mercifully unrecognisable Andy Serkis) is determined to finish off the noble Resistance, led by a resolute, but ageing and vulnerable Leia. There were moments towards the end when I felt like one of those poor Cubans listening to Fidel Castro at the height of his oratorical vigour Tense: Stars Wars: The Last Jedi lasts fully two and a half hours.
