How The Last Jedi Changes The Way We Think About Star Wars

Throughout the bulk of the film's story, we're led to believe that Amilyn Holdo is not to be trusted, and a danger to the best-laid plans of Poe Dameron. However, by the time the film's third act kicks into high gear, we learn that Admiral Holdo was not only right in her assessment of the film's central space battle between The Force Order and The Resistance, but she was also a true hero in a more diplomatic and nuanced way than we're used to seeing from a Star Wars movie. She was willing to play the bad guy to serve a greater good ultimately, and that's indicative of where these films seem to want to go. It's not just about good versus evil, or Light versus Dark. It's about more three-dimensional characters acting in ways that are based on their specific personalities.
