The Last Jedi: Breaking the Pattern
from The Minimum Commitment: Film Theory in Small Doses · host Donn Lawler Podcasts
The Last Jedi doesn’t follow the rules—it rewrites them. Through the lens of feminist film theory, this episode explores how the film subverts the “chosen one” narrative, critiques toxic heroism, and centers quiet, deliberate power in the hands of women. From Rey’s self-made path to Holdo’s silent strike, it challenges what strength looks like in a galaxy shaped by legacy and myth. This isn’t about who you’re born to be—it’s about what you choose to become.
