It’s no secret that The Last Jedi has caused dissention in the ranks of Star Wars fans across the planet, with some people loving it and others….not liking it so much, so it’s kind of appropriate that a film that broke the Star Wars mold should break earthbound traditions as well.
In these Fantha-filled parts we love it, but it seems the film isn’t so popular on the Isle of Lewis, where a screening of the film yesterday broke centuries of tradition. 160 tickets went on sale before Christmas and sold out in a few short days.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will be the first film to be shown on a Sunday on the Isle of Lewis.
The screening will break two centuries of tradition where residents have observed the Sabbath for God only.
The decision to show the film was made by managers at An Lanntair, a major arts venue in Stornoway.
But it has caused a divide on the Outer Hebrides island, which is said to be the
last place in Britain where the fourth commandment – Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy – is still strictly observed.
