Now do you see any similarities with the Bible?
or do some of you still think Lucas was only writing from Buddhism?
GOD>...The Force...or maybe the Light?
HG...Holy Ghost
UHG...Unholy Ghost
Trinity....Son/Father/Holy Ghost.... Luke/Yoda/Light
Unholy Trinity...Son/Father/Unholy Ghost... Vader/Emperor/Dark SIde
The False Prophet....The Emperor as the Senator
The Catalyst to Armegeddon....Anakin/Vader...
okay...Mary/Leia ..is a stretch, like probably all of this...how about the feminine/Leia...masculine/Luke
Yes..i do know that Anakin..(before he was Vader), was the father of Luke...so...essentially, Anakin..when he was not yet on the Dark Side was teh Father.
Who do you think Kenobi was?....CP3O...etc?
eh eh eh (yoda chuckles)

George Lucas admits he took roles from many religions and mythology as well.

Lucas has attributed his work to many influences, but most directly Star Wars is a modern version of Akira Kurosawa's work.
Biblical similarities really aren't that hard to believe since most biblical stories are re-tellings of older fables from Greek, Roman, and other mythologies. Good hero, bad anti-hero, hero needs to overcome his own pride etc etc, to become great.
It's classic story-telling and nothing particularly unique or surprising in the comparisons between star wars and any other hero legend. The same can be done with the Matrix (though I think the biblical similarities there are more deliberate) and a lot of the superhero genre.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It’s meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

This should be in Arts & Humanities, not in Astronomy.
And I think that it was obvious for some time that Lucas was inspired by a lot of things,from "Paradise Lost", to the King Author legends, to old pirate movies, to old spaghetti Westerns.

There was much less biblical influence than there was traditional mythological influence that ALSO influenced the bible.
Luke was an orphan, we only knew (at 1st) about his adulthood and nothing about his childhood. He had to discover who he was and his abilities, etc...
Read some Joseph Campbell or listen to his interviews with Bill Moyers and you will see what influences Lucas took.
