At least! A serious contender for islam! Now, where did I put my lightsaber? Oh, the star wars kid would be so proud!...
Those adorable Wookiees are coming again to a theater near you. Star Wars: Episode III â The Revenge of the Sith, projected to be the final Star Wars film, was released in theaters nationwide on May 18. It has been exactly three years since the last film in the series, Star Wars: Episode II â Attack of the Clones (May 2002), and 28 years to the month since the first film, now titled Star Wars: Episode IV â A New Hope (May 1977), were released. What is startling about the George Lucas-inspired Star Wars phenomenon is not the advent of another movie, but the real ways in which people around the world appear to be forming a religion out of the Zen-like, Tao-like words and actions of the characters.
The Anglican Digest reported in its Lent 2005 issue that the first school to teach Jedi was recently opened in Romania. âCourses at the Star Wars Academy include the correct use of light saber swords, and lessons on how to speak Wookiee, the language of violent furry creatures in the films. The academyâs founder, Adrian Pavel, said he decided to open the school in response to requests from fans,â wrote The Anglican Digest editors. |
