Rian Johnson made several fresh, unconventional choices in his helming of the divisive\u00a0Star Wars: The Last Jedi<\/em>, but one scene in particular has forced some movie theaters to intervene.<\/p>\n

The scene in question features what\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0VFX supervisor Ben Morris has called a franchise first. Deciding to\u00a0sacrifice herself to save the Resistance, Holdo (Laura Dern)\u00a0crashes her ship at light-speed directly into a First Order destroyer in order to release the escape pods. At the exact moment of collision, Johnson cuts all sound, with a vacuum-like effect creeping in against the image of the fatal crash.<\/p>\n

Morris recently acknowledged that it\u2019s an unusual but effective choice for a\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>film. \u201cWe had always hoped that would resonate, both as a story beat and as a striking visual, and when I heard all of the cries and gasps in the silence, it was just fantastic,\u201d he told\u00a0Collider<\/a><\/em>. \u201cWe realized that it worked. That\u2019s never really happened in\u00a0Star Wars<\/em>\u00a0before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moviegoers seem aware of this: A warning posted by some AMC theaters assures viewers that the silence is an intentional creative choice, and not a technical glitch or other mishap, as many have reportedly complained. Per the theater chain, it\u2019s been a repeated point of confusion.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease note:\u00a0The Last Jedi\u00a0<\/em>contains a sequence at approximately 1 hour and 52 minutes into the movie in which ALL sound stops for about 10 full seconds,\u201d reads an AMC note to moviegoers that was posted on Facebook by Paul Scheer, among others. \u201cWhile the images continue to play on the screen you will hear nothing. This is intentionally done by the director for a creative effect.\u201d<\/p>\n
