There's a book by Joseph Campbell called "Hero with a Thousand Faces" about variations on the same myth in many different cultures. It was partly the inspiration for Star Wars.

Well, Anakin was said to be immaculately conceived, and was called the Chosen One. He fulfilled prophecy, and brought balance to the force, which led to peace for the galaxy.
Lucas did draw from Buddhism and Taoism when modeling Yoda's character, and the philosophy of the Jedi, so he drew from several religions.

Many themes in Star Wars and in a lot of movies take inspiration in the Bible and in other sources.

Many religions and cultures are used. Princess Leah used Hopi hair sytle. The Planet "Naboo" is from the Mormon settlement in Illinois.

my answer is..
religion is evolving..
paganism/animism + one god = jew
hindu evolve to buddha
jew + jesus + bit of buddhism = christian
christian + arab culture = islam
the 'believe' at starwars is universal believe..
whatever your religion it doesnt contradict this..
may be this is the future of all religion? :D

I hope your asking this to demonstrate a little humor, because otherwise, it looks like you're just grasping for straws. Didn't you have enough straw left to build a REAL straw man to tear down?
We'll try to find you some more. But we ship POD ("Paid On Delivery"), so YOU have to pay the shipping costs.

Nahh..Lucas ripped of Kurosawa's "The Hidden Fortress" -- much superior to the bible in most respects...
