Orson Scott Card on Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith Jedi religion faith force -- Beliefnet.com

Orson Scott Card on Star Wars and Revenge of the Sith Jedi religion faith force -- Beliefnet.com

The article has some important points:
1. George Lucas should stay out of religion, although he can tell a good story.
2. There is no room for evil in my God - and no excuse for it in anyone else's.
3. One should know the whole story before weighing judgement.

Here is an analogy - Jesus was tempted by Satan, much like Anakin and the dark side. Jesus never saw evil as an option in his mission, even though temptation was convincing. Anakin saw evil as a way to save his love... however, the evil consumed him entire.

I'll stick with Jesus, thank you.
