We've found its lack of f***s disturbing.

description: As the author of the article observed, Star Wars: The Last Jedi is the first Star Wars film to include blatantly sexual imagery and verbal allusions. Those elements both modernize the film, and serve as a subversion. This fits within the film's larger narrative, as The Last Jedi strives to undermine its audience's assumptions.
The Last Jedi speaks to the anxieties of modern Western men, and shows something rarely seen: how to fit in in a world fighting supremacy.

description: According to the author of the article, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), a character from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, is someone young white men who were brought up in a culture that promotes toxic masculinity can identify with, since he is powerful and comes form a place of privilege. The character fails to accept the offer made by Ray (Daisy Ridley) to join together with her and other underprivileged people, and his later actions are shown in an unflattering light, which in turn shows the audience that this kind of behavior is wrong and unhealthy.
An unlikely, controversial relationship didn’t seem so unlikely to a certain segment of "Force Awakens" viewers.

description: As the author of the article poited out, the plotline that follows Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in Star Wars: The Last Jedi has been to a large extent predicted by fanfiction writers who focused on the pair. This similarity was caused by the fact that multiple fans were fascinated by the relationship between those tho characters and wanted to imagine how it could develop in the future.
Warning: The following contains major spoilers Star Wars: The Last Jedi. A lot happens in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There are multiple space battles, huge losses on both sides, a bundle of great story beats, and general galactic adventure. It's arguably one of the most action packed entries in the beloved franchise, but in its quieter and more intimate moments Rian Johnson's gorgeous film finally deals with one of the most troubling aspects of the Star Wars universe: the abusive relationships between student and master that so much of the galaxy seems to hinge on. From Obi-Wan and Yoda's insistence to keep Luke in the dark about the identity of his father (lest we forget that Yoda literally died to protect that secret) whom they both wanted him to kill, to Palpatine's desperate manipulations of Anakin that led to the fall of the galaxy and the death of his beloved Padmé, Star Wars movie canon is filled with destructive relationships that almost always seem to end in tragedy.

description: The author of the article points out that Star Wars: The Last Jedi does address the fact that the relationship between masters and apprentices, as presented in the other installments of the Star Wars saga, is in fact abusive and destructive. Kylo Ren's (Adam Driver) decision to kill his master is a positive departure from the previous paradigm, even though he himself is wrong in wanting to be a master for Rey (Daisy Ridley). The burning of the first Jedi temple hopefully signals that the cycle of abusive codependency will end.

description: The post argues that Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), a character from Star Wars: The Last Jedi exhibits characteristics of the borderline personality disorder (BPD). The empathy for the character felt by the female audience is culturally based, as women are socialized to be supportive of others, as well as feel attracted to men, who are allowed by the society to express openly emotions such as anger. The willingness of the audience to sympathize with Ren is simialr to people sympathizing with school shooters – the actions of both are extreme examples of toxic masculinity.
