I've often wondered about that. There's so many comparisons between the way of the Jedi and Christianity that it's not even funny.
Of course, the one major 'hole' in that; the one famous line from ROTS: 'Only a Sith deals in absolutes'. In other words, he was saying nothin is black and white. I beg to differ. Truth is always black and white. I think GL got that part, along with some other elements, from some of the Eastern religions.
What stands out to me, though, is the strong themes of forgiveness and redemption in the sixth film. They remind me that there is always a second chance; it's never too late.
Interesting sidenote: Han Solo loves Leia more than Anakin loved Padme'. Anakin couldn't give Padme' up; Han could. *ducks*
Yes, very good read! I haven't finished it yet, but I want to!
