I’m going to try to pull the beginning from William Blake’s poem “Tyger, Tyger.” At least, I think that’s the title. It is the beginning. And yes, spelled with a “y”

I like this optimistic title. :)

Yes, some but not all Christians specifically like the religious aspects of Stars Wars, I guess starting with the original movie way back in 1977. ....

You might be ahead of the curve. :) I’m familiar with Star Trek TOS, meaning “The Original Series” for people reading along, and NG or Next Gen. But I’m only familiar with some of the movie. The stories certainly do bring up a lot of life choices, that’s for sure!

In addition, I think Jedis try to “make friends” with their dark side ? ?? And accept all aspects of themselves.

You get more respect if you’re a non-drinker as opposed to a light drinker. Weirdly, acquaintances and even “friends” will try to push you to drink more. They don’t seem to understand light-drinking as worthy choice, in response to a variety of life situations.

It breaks down my body getting the information, and then reassembles me at the distant location using different atoms and molecules. Physically, I’m no longer the same person. However, with memories, feelings, thoughts, etc, etc, I am the same person. ———...

My favorite part of the original Star Wars movie — spoiler alert! — is . . .

Jesus was all about standing in solidarity with outcasts — the good Samaritan, the “sinful” woman [whose name is never given], the tax collector who hid in a tree because he was short and wanted to see Jesus [I think this was in Luke], and more! In fact, the whole story of Jesus can be...

And it helps if the hero has a flaw! :)

Star Wars is “genre” in all the best ways, like a western, or a detective story, or like a “swashbuckling” pirate story! :)

I will consider the question. To me, it’s pretty hypothetical. This 1991 movie may give a foothold and handhold. It’s about a Non-Christian heaven, maybe? , and/or afterlife. However, it does give people what they’re familiar with.

or nudge them like a parent. ——————- as a screenwriter, however, sometimes a character is almost defined by his or her vice. And sometimes in real life, a vice can play to strength. That’s the other side of the coin.

Yeah, it would be different. But there has to be at least 5 better alternatives to mass murder. It does sound like the situation would make an interesting movie

On the theme of ethics being common and easy. Discount Tire had a sign on the wall — “Be Honest, “Work Hard, “Have Fun, “Be Grateful, " _______ “ And I honestly forget the 5th one! In fact, it would be interesting to think what if there was a 5th, 6th, and 7th. 5. _________ 6. ____________...

Yes, God should act to prevent a child being abused or neglected, to prevent a bridge from collapsing, etc, etc. We tie ourselves into knots trying to find excuses for “God.”

No, I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard about it. Without giving away the plot, is there a relationship that I’m going to be rooting for? That’s one way I think about movies these days.

What didn’t work was — the idea of “disobedience to the Holy Spirit.” For example, if I get the idea that I need to witness to a fellow student in a particular way. Get the idea, duty-bound to carry out the idea. This was kind of crazy-making. And I’m glad I came out of this period.
