Slashfilm continue their look at the /Filmcast interview with The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, this time breaking down the most pertinent points of the conversation. They cover a multitude of topics, including this absolute doozy, which explains a lot.

I landed on that and it was like a God ray came down or something.
