I don't think it should be considered a Christian story. The Force doesn't coincide with Christianity, and the other things the Jedi believe don't either. In fact, "Only a Sith deals in absolutes" is attacking Christians because Christians hold on to an absolute truth: God.
 
I wouldn't say all of that. The Jedi help others, while the Sith (Satan) destroy others. But, yeah, I sorta agree with you in saying that there aren't that many Christian things from Star Wars. But that doesn't mean that a Christian shouldn't watch it. Au Contraire, a Christian could learn a lot from it.
 
Actually, it could be damaging, like watching HP. Watching too much of a certain film (like SW, harry potter, violent, horror films, etc..) can damage your relationship with Christ even if you don't want that to happen. Yes, when Anakin fell, it demonstrated how Christians sometimes slip into a cycle of sin. It also shows that Palpatine cared no more for Anakin than Satan does for us. All he cares about is his wants, and how it'll help his cause.

Yeah. I have never watched, much less read, HP because of all the witchcraft in it. Unlike the Magic in Narnia, HPs witchcraft was not made for the better. The author is an athiest, and so are most people who read it. (Begging the pardon of those who are Christians and read it.)
 
I don't think that George Lucas implied that " only sith's deal in absolutes" meant faith. Jedi's have ABSOLUTE faith in the force.. I think he meant absolute hatered or anger. I don't watch horror films, because i don't like them. I don't worship the devil and do magic, in fact i'm always talking to my freinds about God, in a good way, and yet we also love harry potter. We also like star wars. IF you read and watch them for the stories and the adventure, i think it's ok

( and J.K Rowling is athiest? where did you hear that? just because someone doesn't go to a church does not make them an athiest)
 
I love Star Wars too!

If I told you all the merchandise I had it would make me look
like a Star Wars freak. Example: I have over 100 lightsabers and
I own Anakin's FX Lightsaber, Darth Vader's Fx Lightsaber, Anakin's LE Lightsaber Replica and actual film from the movies. whoops I've said enough...

Also if you struggling to find christian morals in Star Wars, pick up a book called "Chrisitan Wisdom of the Jedi Masters" Author Dick Staub.

That's cool. I know someone who has some lightsabers, so don't feel bad. In answer to your post, DoG, not going to church doesn't mean your an atheist; not believing in God and opposing Him as much as possible makes you an atheist.
 
Tony Stewart's Princess, i know and understand and want to drop that subject..lol, I seem to always get into fights about HP, anyways, *drops subject*

I think that in like 20 years, there will be episodes 7,8,9. Because, like Star Trek(sp), It could go on forever. You have the characters, and most likely all of DV's followers didn't quit when he died. I hopethey have them, so i can drag my kids with..lol
 
I hope they don't. I think that the storyline is exhausted. And besides, since there's a TV series in the works, it might take the place of 7,8,9.

I agree, I hope it's over. I can't afford to pull more cash out of my pocket book.
 
It's practically impossible to create any credible new episodes to continue Star Wars, though I sure he'll try to do it and, as in the case of the prequels, screw it up. Numerous authors have covered what happens after Return of the Jedi, up to 130 years after the Battle of Endor, so a new film would just wouldn't fit, as enough fans give the authors (i.e. Timothy Zahn, etc.) the credibility (as the books were licensed by Lucas's enterprises (whichever one(s) is/are devoted to books) to take on even the like of Father Lucas. It would just screw with the storyline, as everything within the time period of the surviving characters from the original trilogy has been covered, along with the fact that the actors/actresses that are still alive are far beyond their prime and thus couldn't even protray the characters that most fans love. Any new episodes would have to have a completely new line-up of character and take places at least four to give hundred years after the original trilogy, and thus would have no connectivity with the original trilogy and thus wouldn't really be sequels. I'd personally prefer that the books already in print (Heir to the Empire, the New Jedi Order, etc.) be made into films. There's already enough material out there, so George wouldn't have to ponder over what to do, for thirty years, which if anyone else has noticed, equates to this => the more time Lucas has to ponder over a film or film series is proportional to the quality of the fore-mentioned film/film series. So, to sum it up, though I'd always considered the possibility of a sequel trilogy or two an exciting opportunity (in the past, since I'd have another shot at actually being in a Star Wars film, this time hopefully a well done one) and though George will probably go ahead and evicscerate the series even more by making more films of decreasing quality, I really feel it would be like beating a dead horse. If we could have some fan-created film adaptations of the books, that would be awesome in my opinion, if they could measure up to Star Wars: Threads of Destiny, Star Wars: Broken Allegiance, or Star Wars: Dark Resurrection. If not, then let's just fowget aboot it and get back to constructive habits, like reading (i.e. in this case the next Star Wars novels). So..... now that I've thoroughly annoyed all the fans of a sequel trilogy, I'm going to back out of this tavern and run for my life... :eek:

See ya on the flipside, :cool:
