HUMANS BECOME PREY TO DINOSAURS IN A SHARED WORLD

Set a year after the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a mixed family from Oakland, California goes camping at the (fictional) Big Rock National Park in Northern California, 32km from the site where dinosaurs was released in the previous event. The film records the first major confrontation between humans and dinosaurs in the human world.


The family is enjoying their dinner during a camping trip at the park when suddenly a Nasutoceratops and its young arrive at the campfire. To their horror, an adult Allosaurus attacks the Nasutoceratops and the mother reptile tries to protect her young. A battle takes place between two dinosaurs and the family decides to hide inside their truck.


Finally, a third Nasutoceratops appeared from the forest shadow, confronting the Allosaurus. The Nasutoceratops then escape in safe, the family's baby begins to cry. Hearing the sound, the Allosaurus approaches to destroy the RV to hunt down the panicking family members inside. At the critical moment, the family's daughter uses a crossbow to shoot Allosaurus in its head and eyes, causing the dinosaur to run away.

HUMANS LIVING WITH DINOSAURS

In the credits, some short clips introduce people "living together" with dinosaurs: a swarm of Compsognathus harmlessly chasing a frightened little girl; a Stegosaurus causing a car to deflect and likely fall off a cliff; fishermen in a boat peacefully passing a Parasaurolophus on the riverbank; a pore-shaped Mosasaurus snatching a great white shark after it had just eaten a seal, and one Pteranodon swooping in on a newly released pigeon by a couples at their wedding.

Star Wars: The last Jedi 2017 - The greatest lesson is failure

Rey and Kylo Ben


The spaceless interactions with Ben through the Force makes Rey believe that Ben still have some humanity qualities hidden inside. Ben even finds satisfactory reasons to explain for the act of killing his father Han Solo as well as his betraying Master Luke and devastating the Jedi Academy, thereby gaining her sympathy.

Despite Luke's warnings and discouragement, Rey tries to meet Ben only to realize that Ben's ambition and dark intentions cannot be touched and changed: Ben kills Snoke to take the position as the First Order's Supreme Leader and determines to completely terminate the Resistance force.



Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ben


Luke is both Ben's teacher and uncle (Luke is the brother of Leia who is Ben's brother - Ben's mother), he is also a close friend of Han Solo - Ben's father. Luke dedicated himself into training Ben but he was too slow to realize that the dark side of the Force is gradually taking over Ben.

Luke used to use the Force and felt that Ben would become a disaster of the galaxy. It was his hesitation in killing Ben that led to the collapse of the Jedi Academy and the slaughters of his disciples. Since then, he no longer cared about life, lived in seclusion and wanted to see himself as the last Jedi.

It was Han Solo's death and the request of his sister Leia that made him return for the last time to confront Ben, giving the few survivors of the Resistance a chance to escape.

As he prepares to fight Ben, Luke says that he is not the last Jedi, maybe he is in  reference to Rey, or maybe there are some other Jedis that have not yet been introduced in the Star Wars world. If linking to "The Mandalorian", is it possible that Baby Yoda Grogu is among the last Jedies besides Rey?

The hard journey to find Luke Skywalker


More than 30 years after the destruction of the Second Death Star, Luke Skywalker, the supposedly last surviving Jedi knight, went missing. The First Order has emerged from the ashes of the Galactic Empire, and is looking to destroy the New Republic. The Resistance, a Republic-backed fighting force, under the leadership of General Leia Organa, tries to search every corner of the galaxy for Luke - who is beleived to cast the twist to battle between the two sides.


In a village on the planet Jakku, a Resistance pilot named Poe Dameron meets an old man to get a map showing Luke's location. The stormtroopers under the command of Kylo Ren land soonly and destroys the village before capturing Poe alive. His droid, BB-8, escapes with the map hidden in its memory cabinet.

The main storyline of "The Force Awakens" is a race between the First Order and the Resistance to obtain the piece of the map (actually a USB containing data) about Luke's position in the galaxy.

Rey


Being a girl picking up scrap to earn a living, Rey stumbles upon droid BB-8 and then Finn (known as the betrayal stormtrooper FN-2187) and is dragged into the current war scene. They rob a ship parked nearby to flee the planet when the Stormtroopers hunt them down, without knowing that ship is the legendary Millennium Falcon, and thus later meet Han Solo and Chewbacca.

On the planet Takodana, Rey finds a cellar and comes across the lightsaber of Anakin Skywalker. She quickly senses mysterious hallucinations, but refuses to accept it at Maz's suggestion.

In the ensuing developments, Kylo Ren's continuous chasing of Rey forces her to use the the saber and unleash the gifted power, actually the Force, hidden within her.


Han Solo and his son Kylo Ren


Ren is the son of Han Solo and Leia, originally named Ben Solo, and was once one of Luke's Jedi disciples. He is succumbed to the dark side of the Force, initiated by the First Order supreme leader, Snoke, and helps the villian destroy Luke's Jedi Academy. This is the reason why Luke decided to go into seclusion.


In the movie, Han tries to advise Ren to return to the light side but is killed by Ren on Snoke's command.

The Millennium Falcon spaceship


After Han Solo's death, Rey seems to become the new owner of this spaceship. At the end of  "The Force Awakens", she and Chewbacca fly the spaceship to the planet where Luke is reclining, following the instructions of the completed map.

The Mandalorian - Star Wars - Chapter 16: Jedi Luke Skywalker and the rescue

In Chapter 16 "The Rescue" of 'The Mandalorian', Mando and his allies attack Moff Gideon's light cruiser to save Grogu, and they are pushed in a great danger when being faced by a platoon of Dark Troopers.

In order to assemble enough manpower for the boarding attack, Mando's team seeks to kidnap Dr. Pershing - the scientist working at Moff's biology lab to get information about his base and how to break into it.

Mando also seeks Princess Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) to ask for her assistance and is agreed on the condition that Bo-Katan will possess Moff Gideon's ship and his Darksaber after defeating him.

During the battle, Mando goes through two hard times against the Dark Troopers, and followed by a dramatic duel with Moff Gideon, who is empowered by the Darksaber.

Mando with the equivalent weapon, the beskar staff, defeats Moff and comes to deliver the powerful weapon to Bo-Katan but eventually learns the truth: the Darksaber can not be simply handed over, instead - Bo-Katan would have to to defeat Mando in battle to get it. It will just work in that way. The sword has an important meaning: whoever owns it, he or she will sit on the throne of the Mandalorian world.

At this time, the Dark Troopers platoon, which had been tricked by Mando to be pushed out of the cruiser into space at the beginning, now return to the ship and attack the cockpit. It looks like Mando's team as a whole won't be able to hold it.

At that moment, Jedi Luke Skywalker suddenly appears and rescues them, and welcomes Baby Yoda Grogu as  his student. Perhaps the powerful Jedi had heard of Grogu's wishes on the sacred temple ruins on the planet Tython.

Grogu touches Mando's beskar helmet as if he wanted to see his face before parting. He takes off his helmet for the boy to see his face and watches with tears as Jedi Luke carries him away.

The Mandalorian - Star Wars - Chapter 15: An impressive coordinated attack

In Chapter 15 "The Believer", team of warriors consisting of Mando, Cara Dune, Shand and Boba Fett and temporarily-released prisoner Mayfeld execute a sophisticated plan: to break into the base of a refinery of rhydonium explosive on the planet Morak to obtain the coordinates of Moff Gideon's ship where Grogu is being captured.

On the planet Morak, Mando and Mayfeld take down some ex-Empiral transporters and put on their uniforms, and then drive their trailer to the refinery. Along the way, the trailer is attacked by local pirates who want to detonate the rhydonium on the trailer. Mando doesn't wear beskar armor at the moment, this makes him a little vunerable in the fight against the many pirates coming over and over.

At the refinery's operating center, Mando tries to access the network to download data about the location of the Moff Gideon's ship. To do this, he must uncover the helmet for the camera to scan his face in order to permit access to the system. In general, he has to show his face nice and clear for quite a while.

They are unluckily approached by a commander and are dragged into a messy conversation with him about the galaxy politics. Mayfeld gets angry at the commander's dark malice, so suddenly shoots him. Mando and Mayfeld are then involved in a struggling fight to escape the command center, with the 3 other allies keep firing from the outside to support them.

Completing the mission, Shand allows Mayfeld to be set free, supposing that he had died in battle. Having obtained the coordinates of Moff Gideon, Mando sent a holygram threatening message to him.
