Would the inhabitants of the SW universe have a religion? So far, going by the movies and most of EU, there doesn't seem to be any major, galaxy-wide religions, like there is on Earth. And I'm talking about the non-Force senstives.

Wookies believe in Bacca I suppose.
Mandalorians think Mandalore as a god of some sort.
Selkath have their ancient great fish.

In the movies, there are very few signs of religious activity...

They recognise the term 'Hell', so the concept of such things must exist.

In such a large Galaxy, religions must be manyfold.

Damn, you beat me to it. I was gonna say that and sound smart. Curses.

Well, the Force seems to be a dominate beleif, even in non-force sensitives, aside from that there seem to only be religions in the more isolated of the species, the Selkath, the Mandalorinans, the Wookies, ect.

Believing in the force is seen as sort of religious....
quote from Atton:

...jedi/ sith ...to the rest of the galaxy they're the same, just men and women with too much power, squabbling over religion.

Each planet has religions of its own.

I mean, a more standard, galactic religion, like Christianity or Islam is to Earth.

I am sure in the massive SW universe there are many relgions.

But none are mentioned, so that leaves the question if there WERE any.

Well, you have all the answers you are going to get.

And what you have to remember about Atton, Julia, is that he is an idiot.

The Yuuzhan Vong had religion too...probably the most structured of any species in Star Wars that we actually know about. Other than that, not much to say.

"Atton is, as always, the fool..."

Atton is awsome.

Anyway, the Yuuzhan Vong had the widest spread religion.

I don't think that's what Bart meant. He meant that they had the most structured, in-depth religion that the readers and fans know about. If it were the widest spread...well...maybe if the Yuuzhan Vong had taken over the Galaxy, but their religion would have been unknown to the Star Wars Galaxy. They ARE from the Unknown Regions...

They're from the another galaxy and the void in between galaxies.

Earth is whacked.

The SW galaxy is simply different. They don't have religions because they are smarter and get along better, and don't have jerusalem, suicide bombing, America, Bush...

I'm Pro-America and semi-pro-Bush. But w/e.

But if you think that the SW guys get along........

They have other disputes in case you havent noticed.

Ho hum

Obi-Wan might be Christian, in Ep. 3 when he is attacked by buzz droids, he says "In the name of..." as if he is going to say God, of course, it could've been anyone.

"Well, bloody hell, in the name of George Lucas, damn you vile creatures!" That's what Obi was thinking.

Well that just proves he's a Taoist doesn't it?

There are cult kind of things, like the Prophets of the Dark Side, or the Bando Gora, and there are religions like the B'ommar Monks. The b'ommar are kind of like Buddhists, aren't they?
