Across the globe, there are hundreds of stories like this one: brown tree snakes on Guam, foxes in Australia, and even the adorable hedgehog is a problematic invasive species in New Zealand, where it eats rare bird eggs. Instead, they increased in number, and, being a delicious-looking toad, have caused population declines in a number of Australian predators that have been tempted to eat them. The toxic toads didn’t reduce the number of beetles. (Cane toads’ native range is from the southern US to South America.) They chose the wrong ally. Farmers brought them to Australia from Hawaii in the 1930s, thinking them an ally in their battle with a beetle that was destroying crops. On occasion, these alien species have the right combination of traits to become invasive, doing damage to the environment, causing problems for humans, or both. Species moved outside of their native range, to new places and habitats, are called alien species (even here on Earth!).
Star Wars missions often go awry, but this one goes disastrously wrong, having pretty much the exact opposite effect of what was intended. Though he gets Finn and Rose where they want to go, he also sells them out, revealing the Resistance’s secret plans and getting a lot of people killed. In jail, they meet a wily thief named DJ (Benicio Del Toro), who helps them escape, then later breaks them into a First Order stronghold. Ex-stormtrooper Finn (John Boyega) and mechanic Rose (Kelly Marie Tran) slip into the city, but quickly get arrested. When the heroes of the Resistance realize that the First Order has been tracking their fleet, they seek the services of a master codebreaker in the high-end gambling resort of Canto Bight, to disable the beacon. Then Johnson throws in a twist, which severely divided fans when the movie first came out in December 2017. One of the main narrative threads in Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi follows that same blueprint… at first.
