Star Wars: A Religious Perspective

July 2nd, 2007 Punch Kids No comments

A nice , easy reading article !

Star Wars has been known to inspire a zeal among its fans not unlike what is experienced by deeply devout religious practitioners who quote scripture from memory and meditate on its hidden meanings. For an old and new generation of fans, Star Wars has become more than a cultural icon that evokes universal recognition around the world. These films have also become the modern means for a religious experience on a scale no less significant than that traditionally found in temples, churches, shrines and mosques.

An interesting article comparing the force and Jedi “religion to a slew of others making note of similarities , synchronicities and coincidences .

An example from the Buddhist section :

The Jedi (who dress as monks crossed with Samurai and live in a “Monastery” or “Temple” where they lead celibate lives…apparently, from what one tells from the previews for the second Film) remind me of nothing less than certain Buddhist warrior monk sects, such as the Shaolin.

Remember the sinister bounty hunter in the closed helmet from the Star Wars trilogy? He wears body armor and packs more firepower than a Death Star stormtrooper squad. He speaks a grand total of four lines in three movies and dies ignominiously.

Boba Fett is the unknowable Star Wars character — we learn nothing about his past, we never see his face, he spends minutes on screen, his voice and bearing are as cold and abrasive as the underside of a glacier — yet he delivers mythic presence.

Lately i have read and heard many. different people make mention to the philosophy behind the origional star wars, the following article is somewhat of a start to exploring that topic.

May the Force be with you. Utter this famous line and there’s no mistaking it. You’re referring to the driving force (pardon the pun) behind the Star Wars world of exploding planets and intergalactic wars. But what exactly is it? In the words of the character Obi-wan Kenobi, a Jedi knight:
“The Force is what gives the Jedi his power. It’s an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.”
