On a much more evil note...
The Inquisiiiiiiiition (what a show!) the Inquisiiiiiiiition (here we go!)
Tone of movie
Personally, one of the reasons I like ROTS so much is because it has more of a new-agey or spiritual tone and feel -- not necessarily in a dogmatic religious way.... for example, the imagery is breathtaking... ie when Anakin looks accross the clouded sunset sky on Mustafar... and the opera scene orbs are also fascinating! Not only is the imagery in some scenes mystical, but the music is just so much more myterious and riveting than in all the other Star Wars movies.. everything together just gives it a spiritual feel I really like...

I agree with Kalsemo, though not entirely relevant to the existance of God, I must say... 😛
True.... I wanted to start a new thread about the mysticsm/spiritualism of the imagery and the music, but I figured I would've gotten bashed for not using an exisiting thread... so this was the only somewhat related thread I could put that thought in.....
Our God (or the God I think you are all referring to), the God from Christianity, doesn't exist in Star Wars.
There are many Gods in Star Wars, as explained before, but none are tied to any religions that exist here. They are merely inspired by religions.
The Force is based off of many religions, and was Lucas' way of trying to encapsulate every religion in a universal manner (the Jesus/Anakin thing, the will of the force, immortality and an evil adversary, all themes carried through Buddhism, Christianity, Catholisicism and the others).
We must remember that Star Wars is a modern moral myth, so naturally things like The Bible will be drawn upon as inspiration.
Also, the difference with the Jedi/Sith is that the Force is a FACT in their world.
Funny how the Sith are a minority bunch of fanatics who cause pain and sufferring because of their misguided views. There's a lot of metaphysical bullshit you could get into with politics between Jedi/Sith and our real world but I can't be arsed.
This Dick Staub guy has to be one of the most idiotic persons in the world. The hole idea of the Jedi is that they dont belong to any religion, They were created as a fusion of religions and dogmas. And then this christian guy comes and say that they´re Christian??? GET REAL!!!!! BUY A LIFE DUDE!!!!! c´mon, that kind of things just make me angry 😠
