Though too long by about 15 minutes, THE LAST JEDI is a crowd-pleasing science fiction blockbuster with some rousing, uplifting moments and lots of heroic derring-do, but the movie inserts strong, annoying Hindu, New Age, pantheistic, nominalist, occult elements and references that overwhelm the positive elements. STAR WARS VIII: THE LAST JEDI follows a powerful young woman who tries to convince Luke Skywalker to train her in the ways of the Force while the totalitarian First Order closes in on Princess Leia and her small band of freedom fighters. Thus, THE LAST JEDI promotes New Age, pagan practices like meditation, levitation, astral projection, ontological nominalism, magical thinking, and mind over matter, rather than the free gift of Grace through Jesus. Regrettably, the movie has a very strong New Age, Hindu, occult worldview that overwhelms its moral, redemptive content and themes. STAR WARS VIII: THE LAST JEDI is slightly too long and follows too many plotlines, but it’s a crowd-pleasing science fiction blockbuster with some rousing moments and lots of heroic derring-do.
