The Jedi of Star Wars were partially based on the Yadist Prophets (an obvious reference to Judaism.) Unfortunately other ideas like Taoism and Shaolinism also found its way into the mix, mostly because George Lucas wanted his creation to be able to do combat and Christianity would have not fit in with his story because Christians would be seen as non violent. The next installment may actually lead to a more Christian idea of George Lucas’s fictional force as it will feature an organization called the Church of the Force, complete with a Pastor as their leader. The old man at the beginning of “The Force Awakens” is now said to be one of its pastors and the son of the church’s founder. It is Rumored that the new lead Character “Rey” is the daughter of one of the Church’s adherents and possibly even a pastor.
Just something I have heard.
Star Wars does have a lot of symbolism for Christian themes. i. e. Old Ben giving his life for others, the force guiding ones actions like the Holy Ghost. The redemption of Darth Vader, the Dark Emperor who clearly represents Satan. The fact that the emperor disguised himself as a force for good when he was actually evil. The idea of Temptation and a fall from Grace. These symbolisms were placed there purposefully according to Lucas himself.
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;
Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.”
– Hebrews 11:24-26

Simple, as a man THINKS so he is.
There is no thought which is a DEAD THOUGHT..
Jesus said His words are spirit and life….
What about Satans words?
Spirit and DEATH?

All computer games are a channel.and an opportunity for the demonic to plant seeds …
Aren’t they(the computer games) thoughts arranged in programs?
Varnel Watson
