I know he wasn’t yet technically a Jedi I was just using it as shorthand for “murderous force mutant”

Drugs can simulate some of the aspects of mystical experiences, and, especially in the context of the film's production, would have been understood as something that could be used ritualistically to make them more intense. Traditionally, the Oracle of Delphi inhabited a cave full of cave gas, and other priests interpreted her descriptions of her visions on behalf of supplicants. Luke, on the other hand, is functioning as his own Pythia and his own prophētēs. A materialist interpretation would definitely chalk it up to cave gas and swamp food, however.

Just watched Solo. It was a good film but I found a stupid plot hole and I'm real mad about it. Bad boss guy doesn't want to do the job because he's got a deal with the target, but is persuaded by the fact that Han et al don't have a deal and aren't known associates. So he agrees, and SENDS ALONG SOMEONE BRANDED AS HIS EMPLOYEE. Real smart move there, chief.

Getting high off hallucinogens and seeing personal visions and seeing received visions from a mystical power are not mutually exclusive, especially in fiction.

TLJ is really good at stuff most people aren't looking for in a Star Wars movie and mediocre in what they are conditioned to expect from the franchise.

Endlessly writing “it’s bad” is a waste of everyone’s time. Episode 9 is bad because it has tons of artless expository dialogue and poor editing, where the prequel films are exceedingly well-edited and avoid exposition almost to a fault. Contrast Luke’s infodump about the Jedi Order with The Tragedy Of Darth Plagueis The Wise - which baffled people because it’s explicitly a metaphorical story and not exposition. Saying “they are both equally bad/good” shows that you aren’t interested in them as films.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Endlessly writing “it’s bad” is a waste of everyone’s time. I'll give you the editing is bad, but do you have a specific scene for the issue with the exposition? Like I'm not saying you're wrong, but Star Wars is a franchise kind of built on weird windy exposition starting from Obi-Wan's Clone Wars speech in A New Hope. Do you have something in particular in mind?

Bongo Bill posted:In fiction, it is interpretation of divine visions. Joke's on us: we really do contact mystical beings through drug, but because we don't take that poo poo seriously, we mostly end up in contact with the astral equivalent of the cast of Jackass. Okay really, the our own subjectivity is the "mystical being." The Jackass bit is 100% true though.
