interestingly enough i had this conversation with someone only a few days ago.. she said she refuses to watch any of them because the whole series was teaching that evil (satan/the dark side) will win over good (jehovah/ the force) She actually had this whole argument againsts Star Wars and its funny cause her husband loves them
Actually evil never really wins. If you think about it, the time period where the Jedi are destroyed up until Anakin destroys the Sith is like our own history. The fall of the Jedi is like when Adam and Eve disobeyed. When Anakin destroys the Emperor and likewise the evil from within himself, it is like when the end will come and Satan and all evil is destroyed by means of God's Kingdom.
That's missing the point really. It's not teaching that evil will at the end of the day, win. It's going right in line with reality actually, in that, it's true... evil has a powerful handle.. it's can easily take over anyone. That's how is it in this World. Look at how many people on Earth are in the world.. the majority. "The dark side" is the ruler of this system of things. I could be wrong, but I don't feel that Star Wars was made to show that the "dark side" should win.
Well put.
Luke - "Is the darkside stronger?"
Yoda - "No...Only easier and more seductive."
The dark sides inability to eliminate all the jedi shows that good is going to eventually win.
haha stop trying to force it to work. The Jedi universe stipulates that there is good and evil and always will be. And the balance to the force (the return of evil to power) was forced by that invisible force. So this force caused the evil to regain power and would not let good wipe it out completely. The jedi will win over evil but cannot wipe it out completely
The force was out of balance because the Jedi became complacent as the Sith grew stronger. The sith did not appear from nowhere. They always existed, but hid their presence for 1000 years. Once they were destroyed, evil within the force ceased to exist. Evil inclinations would always exist in the Star Wars universe, but the evil that corrupted the force was gone forever. At least from the POV of the movies that is how it is. I could care less what the books say.
you guys are all huge nerds.
I'm gonna sick Mark Dodd after you...
And then I'm gonna take what's left of you and twist you into a pretzel...hahahahaha...
ooohhh
You just peed yourself, didn't you...LOL!
actually i snuk up behind you and peed on your leg. you have pee all over you right now...HAHAHAHAAAA...sucker!
i'm not talking books i'm talking from the movies. They never say that evil ceases to exist. And they never say that all the evil is wiped out in the universe and will never come back. Do they? I need facts here.
All I'm trying to say is that the philosophy they put forward is that, 'Good triumphs over evil but will never get rid of it so just try to be good and that is all that is required.' Which I think is diametrically opposed to the tenets of the bible and is subtley a pervasive worldy philosophy so I'd advise caution in advancing it with a newer person. And certainly not with anyone who is a star wars nerd, which i feel like right nwo
Evil never goes away in the SW universe, but the sith do. The line of masters was broken after Sidious died. So after they are gone, evil is just kept under control. SW never was meant to be a direct comparison to the bible. It just uses biblical elements.
evil will always triumph because good is dumb
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT MAN!!
Yes, and my schwartz is bigger.
