[un]Intentional biblical reference in episode III?
Now, I'm not a highly religous man, but my parents still manage to drag me to church with them every once in a while. Anyway, today I heard something at church that caught my ear, and it's an excerpt from the Bible, the book of Thessalonians. The text is as follows:
When they say, "there is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape!
Now, if you don't catch what I think it might be referring to, it's right before the big Obi-Wan versus Anakin duel, and Anakin says "I have brought peace and security to my new empire," to which Obi-Wan responds "Your new empire?" and so on and so forth until Anakin gets owned and, what do you know, suffers sudden desctruction and great pains.
Or, this is just some elaborate coincidence. Interesting either way.
i Really think that it is all coincidence considering the man is jewish. now one thing you could say is biblical is anakins almost christlike image and also how mustafar could almost represent hell.but again i really dont think there is anything biblical in the movie that was put there on purpose.

the damnation of sacrificing liberty for security is a common theme throughout history. also the most commonly ignored. so you'll find reference to that in many writings
Yeah, I've seen a lot of those easter eggs on some site, why would it be some extreme coincidence if they make references all the time? To think it's a coincidence is too far-fetched in this case.
No he's not and he has put New Testament allusions in before, such as with the exchange between Darth Vader and Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back when Vader is talking about overthrowing Sidious and them ruling the galaxy - he likened it to the Devil offering Christ the kingdoms of the world.

I have to think. It all seems to fit, I doubt it could be a huge coincidence, so I guess I agree.
