Is Star Wars a Christian film series? Nope. It was actually inspired by theories of myth and the heros journey. In fact, in some ways, it is clearly not Christian: the Force, for instance, is an impersonal power, far different than God and the grace that he offers.
⁣
But that doesnt mean that our Cathedral family and Christians everywhere cant find anything true and worthwhile in the films. A better way to put it is that Star Wars presents themes we also find in Sacred Scripture.
⁣
Self-sacrifice: Luke Skywalker confronts evil for the sake of his friends, a parallel to Christs own self-offering. (Matthew 16:24-25)
⁣
Overcoming temptation: Luke overcomes invitations to join the dark side and rule the galaxy, similar to how Christ rejects the devils offer of dominion over earth. (Matthew 4:1-11)
⁣
Good and evil: in Star Wars, evil is real and is to be rejected, consistent with the Biblical worldview. (Matthew 5:29-30)
⁣
The fundamental difference between Star Wars and scripture? The movies present a fictionalized account of these virtues, while Sacred Scripture gives us a recounting of them being lived out, in reality, by Jesus Christ--a true story that has transformed the universe. #ScripturalConnections
