“When The Force Awakens landed two years ago, it was everything Star Wars fans wanted yet not entirely what we needed. It was a rousing tribute missing its own vision, introducing new characters and crises hinting at old ones.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi launches the franchise to another level of action and humor thanks to incoming writer-director Rian Johnson, whose imagination seems boundless as George Lucas’ 40 years ago.” – Steve Persall, TampaBayTimes

“The Last Jedi Brings Fresh Ideas Not Just to Star Wars but to the Whole Universe of Movies” – Sam Adams, Slate.com

“An excellent middle chapter bursting with wit, wisdom, and emotion” – Jamie Graham, Gamesradar.com

NADAV REFLECTION

It was quite fun to work as a duo, as we laughed a lot which took us some time. We originally wanted to do the review about “The Room”, but ultimately decided to do it about a serious movie like “The Last Jedi”. I liked working with this site as it made page sorting easier.

Itamar reflection

i had a good time doing this work and ourboox is a good site in my opinion  , we worked really hard and it took a while but we did it,

it took 4 days and it was (i guess) worth it.

i will do it again if needed.
