"Star Wars" movies are interconnected. As each new film has been released, it builds on what has come before and takes things a step further. It adds nuance and context so that when we look at the previous installments, we see them in a different way. "The Last Jedi" is no different in this regard, and it borrows liberally from the original installments of the franchise.
