My first thought was that this was some Jehovah's Wittness website or somethig, but anyone who would actually think that Star Wars was anything more than a simple fictional movie seriously needs their head checked, there may not be anything in there.

Jesus walked on water, He made a fig tree wither up and die with a few words... He said if we had faith we could move mountains.

I dont think its evil, but I think we have to be very careful and guard our hearts when we watch any fantasy/sci fi type movies (or read books) to anything which there is good there is also evil on this earth. satan mimics Gods ways and lures people into dark arts using familiar spirits.

Yes, Star Wars is evil, but only Eps I + II to my knowledge. (I see Ep III for the first time tonight.)

It is evil how Lucas made Eps I + II so lacking in what made the first trilogy so good. :sleep:

stop your moaning. Drives me crazy how everyone slates these films. I agree they are not as enjoyable as the original three but no matter what Lucus did he would have been attacked. Times change, film making techniques and stlyes change.

No, I guarantee you, I would not have attacked Lucas for making quality films. I'm not by nature a negative person. I wanted very much to like Eps I + II. Even just to "like", not even necessarily to "love".

They weren't just "not as enjoyable". It wasn't just the film making techniques or the style. They were horrible.

Lucas could have learned a thing or two (or three, or a million) from the Lord of the Rings films. Things like "characterization", "plot", "dialog", "emotion", etc.

I was surfing on Fark.com and came across an interesting web site in a picture which says that "Star Wars" is basically the work of Satan.

Satan's Tool

What do you think? Just curious.

The really sad thing is,people like him are allowed to have kids.

There are many people out there who actually believe the force is real, and there are even more who regard themselves as Jedi's. Jediism and the force becomes their religion, "because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God" (Rom. 1:21). I'm a big fan of Star Wars myself but I think it probably has and will continue to send many souls on their way to hell because these fanatics choose to worship it as God.

Why would Jar Jar Binks ever seem like a good idea?

Doesn't the bible say something to the effect of worry about your own problems and leave the damned heathens to deal with their own?

Uh, no.
It says, go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. I think what you're thinking of, and correct me if I'm wrong, is the fact that we Christians are not holding anyone's salvation in our own hands. No one is going to go to hell because of what I say or do or don't say or don't do except, of course, me. I'm the only one affected by my personal beliefs and actions.
However, God always has and always will desire to use his children to accomplish his work. It is my priviledge to go into all the world and it helps me out in the long run. And maybe, God will use me to hlep someone else out as well.
However, since that is not the topic of this thread, let me address Star Wars. While I do not believe that it is actually sending anyone to hell, I believe Satan is using it to distract many people and many people are allowing it to distract them. When it is seen for what it is, an enjoyable fictional sci-fi, it is great. It can even be used as a discussion topic for spiritual things, although that is not its original purpose unfortunately.
And by the way, I liked the first two episodes. Maybe not as much as lthe original, but I think they were good. And I thought the characters, especially in episode two, were very well put together. Maybe a little overly dramatic at times, but overall, still great.

Well there are people who practice Jedism as a religion. It's also a bit of a fad at the moment to list Jedi Knight on census forms as a religion. I read in the paper this morning something like 70,000 did this in my country, and an estimated 5000 of these believed the Force was actually real. It's practiced like an Eastern spirituality since thats what it resembles the most.

There are a few of these Jedists here:

I just look at the fan recuts of the movie and it completely changes the dynamic of the story. At it's core, the basic elements of what make a fim good has not changed, no matter how much CGI you throw in. Plot and acting are still what drives pictures and this was the problem with the new trilogy. Revenge of the Sith fortunately delivered what the other two films didn't, but there still were some glaring issues.

As for the OP, the people are crazy, there always will be crazy people out there. If anything, Star Wars is a great tool to learn from about selflessness and not giving in to selfishness. But to bad the reality of that concept escapes these people, but I'm sure they aren't the smartest of people. I'm surprised the site is even readable considering the guy probably wrote the entire site by banging his elbows on the keyboard. :D
