The themes and the vibe is very very similar to Star Wars.

They are both successful because they speak to our best part and give us hope

Of course the Bible is much more successful, but it also had like 100,000,000x the "marketing campaign" of Star Wars...also it was a marketing campaign at loss, whereas Star Wars had to make money for the studio.

On the contrary, The Bible and Star Wars have very little in common with one another. You will have to stretch to draw any sort of parallel between the two

What makes you say that?

The Bible tells a story about how man was created and deceived, then fell from God into sin which leads to death, but then was given a path to salvation by the son of God who was manifest in the flesh through virgin birth, who was martyred, but then rose again to be seated in Heaven to watch over not only mankind, but the choirs of angels above them.

Star Wars is something of a coming-of-age story about a boy who understands that he has special powers that he works to refine in order to fight against a force that is trying to bring a hierarchy to the galaxy. Along the way, he befriends bigfoot, smooches his sister, and swings a laser sword.

Nothing quite as hopeful as knowing the vast majority of humanity was made destined for an eternal lake of fire, and for rejecting an invisible god. Someone who must be followed and known and loved above all else, yet without any of the five senses. (OT and a few select NT witnesses notwithstanding.) And they have the balls to call non-believers the blind ones!

> The themes and the vibe is very very similar to Star Wars

I’ve only seen Ep. 1-9, the Christmas special, Rogue One, Solo, and some of S1 of the Mandalorian, and read a couple of the older novels, and having read the whole of the Bible...I guess there's some weird stuff in the parts of Star Wars I missed? Is this some of the newer Disney stuff, or EU, or...?
