None that I can think of in Star Wars. "The Force" is closer to bhuddism than anything else.
Narnia is the closest when it comes to Christian symbolism. In fact, C.S. Lewis said himself Christianity is the religion from which he drew the symbolism for Narnia.
As for the Matrix, it's actually closely related to Gnosticism than Christianity. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Christians didn't like it on account of it's Gnostic character. While Neo is portrayed as a Christ figure, the key thing is that the source of Neo's power is knowledge about what's really behind the Matrix rather than descent from a higher power.
With Lord of the Rings, I didn't really see much religious symbolism as such, but rather a masterful weaving of old stories and legends in a way that gave pretty much everything in the world an extra dimension of meaning. Brilliant as it was, I don't necessarily see it as religious.

Tolkien was a religious man but he based his stories on all sorts of different kinds of mythology stories so I wouldn't say there is a connection to Christianity in there. It's basically epic stories with a lot of faith and love and valor.
As far as Star Wars go I think it's generally put in that people should believe in themselves and do good and not harm because if you do harm eventually life makes you pay for it. When Yoda teaches Luke in Empire Strikes Back movie he clearly points out that if he won't believe in things around him he will fail which I believe in general means that if you don't have trust and faith in nature and people around you, you won't get anywhere. You have to be positive. But that's just my interpretation of everything. I hope it helped.

Anikan had no father and was thought to be conceived by the CHLORIDIANS, implying an "immaculate conception".
