Fuck George Lucas.

Are you seriously trying to tell me that you wrote Buddhism well enough that actual Buddhists appreciate and acknowledge your Jedi as decent-ish representation of their values, and then you wrote fucking Temple of Doom!!!!

You demonized and vilified my culture and my religion, and the worst part is that you have done better before. Star Wars came out before Indiana Jones; you have no excuse of 'you got better'. Fuck you and that franchise.

some day i'm going to write an essay about how padme naberrie is the most hindu character in all of star wars in terms of aesthetic and culture, and i will lament on how george lucas did absolutely nothing with hinduism and hindu moralities just so he could have his tragic love lamp.
