How The Last Jedi Defies Expectations About Male Heroes

Video Description

Help me make more videos! https://www.patreon.com/popdetective The Last Jedi is a movie that’s designed to defy fan expectations. Nowhere is this subversion more evident than in the way the film handles its three male heroes: X-Wing pilot Poe Dameron, renegade Stormtrooper Finn, and legendary Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker.
