Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

A year after the Battle of Crait, Kylo Ren discovers that, somehow, Emperor Palpatine is still alive. Initially hoping to kill him, Kylo is persuaded to join Palpatine after he sees that the latter has, somehow, by himself, created an entire fleet of Star Destroyers. He also learns that Rey is Palpatine’s granddaughter, and that Palpatine wants to kill and/or convert her, depending on what scene he’s in. Meanwhile, Rey learns that Palpatine is alive, and so she, Finn and Poe set off to find a dagger, which will help them find a thing, which will lead them to the Emperor. I think. Will they do any of that? Watch the movie to find out.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

The Resistance is on the run. The First Order has destroyed their base, and they’re looking to wipe them out for good. And unlike every other time this has happened, our heroes can’t just jump into hyper-space and fly away, since the First Order has developed the means to track them. So it’s up to Finn, Po, and newcomer Rose to find a way to disable the bad guy’s ship. Meanwhile, Ray has found Luke Skywalker, and is trying to get him to come out of hiding. But this might be a harder task than previously thought, since Luke has shut himself off, not just from everyone, but the force as well.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

Thirty years after the Empire’s defeat, Luke Skywalker has disappeared, and the galaxy faces a new threat; the First Order. (Well, okay, they’re not really a new threat, since they’re basically just the Empire’s leftovers, but whatever). The First Order wants to know where Luke is, and so they send goons after Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, who possesses a map to the legendary Jedi. Unbeknownst to Poe, however, one of the First ORder’s stormtroopers, Finn, has been having doubts, and so springs him out of captivity, and tries to get him and BB8, the droid in which the map is stored, away. Unfortunately, they crash on the desert planet Jaku, where they meet orphan scavenger Ray, who wants to help, and who may have powers she never knew were there.

Ex Machina (2014)

The best way for me to describe Ex Machina is, what Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory would look like if Ridley Scott directed it. That might sound like a silly description, until you learn the film’s premise. A mysterious billionaire lives out where no one can get to him, he holds a lottery to give a person the chance to come visit his house, the person does so, and then crazy shit happens. Seriously, throw in some dancing orange dwarves and you’ve got the same film.
