That was a mistake. And if you want to see films like that then there are plenty around. Ask Texas, he knows someone called Debbie who makes those types of films.
Am I surrounded by freakin BULLshit? That's what I ask myself some days...
Anakin HAS NO FATHER! He is the first and only child of the force. And he is the only Jedi to have children so that it's obvious Luke's the second most powerful Jedi in the whole universe. And Leia... dunno why she never got that power. Females just too weak that's why 99% of Jedi's are men I'm out.
anakins father is the FORCE.....
that was explained in ep 1....
its very much like christian belief if u think about it....
jesus was the son of GOD.....
anakin was the son of the FORCE....
jesus was believed to bring peace and balance to the world....
and so was anakin......
it's not only in christianity mind you!
Anakin didn't had to bring balance to the world but in the Force, btw...
First Mr Venom, he isn't a child of the Force, he was conceived by the MIDI-CHLORIANS, that's not the same!
We still don't know that Jedi can/can't marry, but it's widely accepted that it's against the rules.
And it's not because Anakin is strong with the Force that his son is that, I mean, I know only one Yoda, where is HIS family?
And if Mr Venom took the time to also read the EU, he saw that Leia ALSO has the Force as her ally! Excapt, eu isn't cannonical, and then you can read fintis reply: she had no time!
actually, alot of it IS christianity. it is also greek/roman, etc but theres no reason to exclude christianity just because its christianity. GL chose univeral themes from ALL major religions and cultures so that the stories would be vaguely "familiar" to everyone. that is the main reason why star wars is such a success i think.
and if you want to get nit-picky, when it boils down to it, all religions in existance today sprang from essentially the same basic thing, they just diverted in different directions as humanity spread out away from northern africa.
i wasnt saying it was all christianity, just disagreeing with those that say theres NO christianity in it.
and actually, most "no father" myths in cultures spring from judeaism. in christianity, jesus fulfilled an ancient jewish prophecy that pre-dates most, if not all, religions in existance today. when humanity spread out, they took that beleif in a savior/hero who would have no father, with them. christianity is the largest religion that holds that beleif. unless islam does, but i dont beleive they do.
out of curiosity, of what is the "chosen one" based then? christianity is an extension of judeaism, which has been around nearly 6,000 years i beleive. the greek and roman cultures didnt exist until later. so im curious why you are so adamant that the "chosen one" prophecy has no basis in christianity. has george lucas said anything specific on the matter?
