My friend David Coath brings us news from Shanghai Disney Resort where The Last Jedi is very present at Shanghai Disney Resort, despite the shock failure of the film itself at the Chinese box office.

Greetings from Shanghai.

So last week I was hunting for Stormtroopers with my beautiful fiance at Disneyland.

The building is the theater where they had the premier of The Last Jedi.

The pencils and the erasers are what you can get if you find the Stormtroopers around Disneyland.

I just saw the IMAX 3D version of The Last Jedi here in Shanghai. When certain characters came on the screen, down in the bottom corner it gives the audience a little context.

R2-D2’s message said ‘the distress call from 34 years ago was received by Luke Skywalker’. When Snoke was onscreen for the first time it said ‘This is the main villain of the First Order’.

When Finn was onscreen for the first time it said ‘This used to be a Stormtrooper and he joined the Resistance’. It’s giving us all context.

And Yoda’s one was brilliant. ‘He died and became a Force ghost’.
