Every negative reviewer needs to dust up on their Hindu teachings. Saw the movie on 3D IMAX today. That movie was mystical Hindu AF

This link got me on the side that Snoke isnt really dead.
The more I think about it, it really makes sense.

1) Why would he not be?
2) Who cares? It’s not like he’s anyone. Zero development to invest in him as any significant character. The “I am one with the force, the force is with me” guy from RO is as much a Jedi/Sith as Snoke is at this point.

I didn't see that at all.
TLJ was the deconstruction of the established religion and of the natural order of the SW galaxy. There is nothing subtle about the agenda. It was extreme fringe left SJW. It is the post-modern deconstruction of the United States, where all straight white men are evil, sexist, bigoted racist simply by existing, only women are competent and all minorities are oppressed. Luke was the last remaining icon of the past that had to be destroyed (Tearing down statues), along with his religion, to make way for the nihilist world view of the extreme left.
Take everything the extreme left stands for, slap a Star Wars label on it and call it The Last Jedi.
Other than that, it was a horrible movie on every level; plot-less, filled with WTF plot devices and a textbook Mary Sue as the protagonist.

Yep. The movie is entirely about nihilism and virtue signaling. I personally find nihilism to be evil. TLJ destroyed everything about Star Wars. Even some of my most liberal friends found this supremely obnoxious and terrible.

Mystical Hindu that you don't see because you're not using your feelings.
quote:
So, the Force is influencing both good guys and bad guys, it is everywhere and it is accessible through special communication. We can see pantheism staring in our faces in this Force. Pantheism says everything is god. You are god, I am god, your water bottle is god, your pen is god, your computer is god, your smartphone is god.
Hinduism says that Brahman is the all-pervasive force in the universe. Everything I've n the universe is under the force of the Brahman. Bhagavad Gita says that this uForce is the source of all power in the universe. The Force is impersonal. It reminds us the Brahman, the ultimate reality. The Force has light side and dark side, just like the Brahman or the ultimate reality has light (prakash) and dark (andhakar) sides. This force manifested as several forces in the nature in the form of several gods. Dyaus Pitar, the sky god; Agni, the fire god; Yama, the death god; and Indra, the warrior god. Hinduism describes this force as ‘nirguna’, without attributes. This force takes on many forms in different gods of the pantheon.
With the aid of his humanoid assistants, he will fight with Darth Vader and rescues the Princess Leia. That is also Hinduism 101. It comes from Ramayana, an ancient Indian epic poem. The beautiful princess Sita is kidnapped by Ravana, an evil warlord. Rama receives the message. With the aid of his half-human, half-animal assistants, he fights with Ravana and rescues princess Sita.

Don’t forget, big capitalism was still making money.

Just watched it.
Really enjoyed it! I don’t get the hate for it.
Great film and can’t wait for Solo in a few months.

Because you haven’t thought it through. Seriously, who is the protagonist? Why haven’t they used the hyperdrive as a weapon before? Did anything of substance happen on the casino world? Why is the Resistance now led by a purple haired gender studies professor? Why did we have an OJ Simpson Bronco chase scene for half the movie? You mean to tell me they only have enough fuel for 3 days? Just ponder those for a second, because I can go on and on.

Leia uses the Force to propel herself through space after she gets blown up on the bridge (which may be the single most powerful use of it in the movies) and
1) Nobody ever mentions it again.
2) Purple Hair Lady or anybody else never asks her to take a shot and see if she can maybe use the Force to shut down the engines on the other ship or send it into hyperspace or something. Sure, there is a 99% chance it's no dice but nobody even bothers to ask if that's even possible.

Why didn't she crush the battering ram?
Why didn't she move the rocks?
Why didn't she stop the torpedos?
Do her force powers only activate when she's unconscious and on the brink of death?
How did the force and damage of torpedos strong enough to rip apart a ship and explode its cargo in all different directions not damage her in any way?
How did all of the exploded cargo stop around her in space? In space, wouldn't it continue at the speed at which it was jettisoned? And so would that mean she stopped all of it with the force?
Why didn't she save anyone else that was on the bridge?

Saw a Liberty Mutual commercial tonight. The only thing that could have made the character of Rose worse was if she had been played by the chick who named her other car "Brad."

I am glad you are one of the few reasonable voices in this forum.
Most of the criticism (aka 95% of the people on this board) is childish and comical. This is why I stick to dedicated and serious Reddit boards when taking about Star Wars.
The Hinduism influence is interesting and true but the movie is also very much influenced by Buddhism and Confucianism as well.
A hint about Episode IX (this is major spoiler of the Saga if you connect the dots):
Ren
Japanese
Lotus
Om mani padme hum
The working title of EP IX is "Black Diamond"

No, it’s nihilism and virtue signaling. It shits all over what the morals of the previous Star Wars movies were.

Yeah, asking me to convert to Hinduism before I can properly enjoy and understand a movie is asking a little much of me.
