Explain? Technically it was written before the Bible. Not the film itself but the original storyline and characters are based on 3,000 yr old Hindu texts. Names like Darth Vader seem foreign and strange to us because they are borrowed from the Vedic language group. Still haven't watched a Star Wars film to this day. |

Explain? I like to use a different comparison. If Star Wars permeated our culture like “Mythology” permeated some other cultures we could say Star Wars is our Mythology. But we didn’t worship the characters of a movie like people worshipped the fallen Angels. (Aliens) Wake up. Mythology was no myth. And it’s just more proof that the Bible is 100% correct. And you can’t even understand how much the Bible is used in movies. Iron man and Superman etc etc. King James Bible And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. The basis for all Zombie movies. |

Explain? The 'Journal of the Whills' was a kind of intergalactic holy book. The idea was that the Star Wars saga was just one story among many stories that took place in this universe and had been written down in the 'Journal of the Whills. ' The Son of the Suns is a play on various names for Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:16.Dec 18, 2019 16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords. |

True, Asian religions were not wiped out because the Romans never conquered them and allowed the Catholics to put them in Inquisition trials/executions. |

It definitely strikes a chord exposing some of the inner workings of the dark side of the mind that some may find unnerving and be uncomfortable with. A masterful work of art that will definitely leave an impression be it good or bad. Cookie-cutter films lack intrigue and are usually predictable enough to determine the plotted outcome long before they are over so they bore me to tears. Not a psychopath myself but understanding the nuances therein is relevant to ascertaining the full scope of what the human condition is capable of producing. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 83606099 So are you really saying that all Hindus and Buddhists are not "smart?" See how easy it is to trip up people who are so "convinced" that their religion is the real one. |
