I understand that...she was asking about the Jedi...my thought was that Lucas may have based the Jedi's commitment to the Force along the lines of the religious commitment to the Church and to God, that's all.

i like the original trilogy the best, the best comedy and story line. and great one liners.
the prequels arent too shabby, great graphics. i like to hear the back story and everything

[quote name='Catholic_4_Life' date='Jul 13 2004, 11:53 AM'] Okay...my two cents...

Oh, before that...I couldn't see the commercial you made, it's blocked from my work.  Reason:  sex.  I dont' get it...it must be that the server you are using hosts bad sites or something...of course, my company is really hard on blocking sites...I'm waiting for them to block Phatmass...

Anyway, I am a big SW fan...BIG!!  Anyway...I have to say EP 4-6 are by far the best, EP 1 was "ok" and EP 2 was better.  I know people didn't really like EP 2 as much, but it set up a lot of stuff for the originals.

Now...my big thing comes to a question that a friend of mine asked me once.  She made the comment about "Why are they in robes, why can't they marry." etc...The first thing that popped into my head was:  They are the protectors of the universe, much like our religious (Brothers, Priests, Nuns, etc) are protectors of mankind who teach us to focus and Trust in God...Jedi teach to trust in the Force.  It got me thinking that maybe, just maybe, Lucas uses more religious undertones in the movies than we have ever thought...

I could be completely wrong of course...but I like thinking that the Jedi are bonafide Monks and Nuns fighting the evil of the universe!  :D [/quote]
I saw in an interview once with George Lucas, i think it might be on the episode 1 dvd, might have to check it out, anyway, he said that he put the jedi in the movie so as to encourage children to have a religion, and to look into their religion.

ill have to check that out again

anyway, i just found an article and interview about Lucas and religion.

Thanks Phikoz! That's exactly what I was talking about! I didn't realize Lucas had done that interview. I will have to brush the dust off of my EP 1 DVD and see if I can find that interview!
