About Star Wars: The Last Jedi(film_score)
Presented at NJPAC with the New Jersey Symphony, **Star Wars: The Last Jedi — In Concert** pairs Rian Johnson’s 2017 chapter of the Skywalker saga with its full orchestral score performed live. The story follows Rey’s search for Luke Skywalker as the Resistance, led by Leia Organa, fights to survive under pressure from Kylo Ren and the First Order. It carries added weight as Carrie Fisher’s final screen appearance, with the film dedicated to her. In the New York–area concert circuit, it marks how franchise cinema has moved into symphonic repertory, where leitmotifs function as narrative structure as much as accompaniment.
