Why is everyone being a retard today?
Faggot, the prequels aren't the OG. And I'm not aware of any western tales with a messiah/chosen one that don't borrow heavily from (and usually, intentionally and maliciously subvert) the true Messiah.

Holy fucking shit how are you this bad at basic details.
Me not even 24 hours ago describing you:
You 10 hours after that comment making this post.
lol, lmao you fucking retard.
The guy who made the OG star wars is the same guy who made the prequals so i consider them pretty much the same because the intention is the same
Well yeah all the main nine movies are part of the same Skywalker saga
the sequals weren't made by george lucas so they don't count
Yeah, but what about the piss poor understaning of eastern mysticism? Like how Anakin's suffering is due to attachment and being unable to accept death? The Force being akin to the Tao, everything being about balance (ying-yang), etc
that comes in how Jesus wants to give everyone eternal life
Eh, that's a stretch. Anakin didn't act out of love, but anger and fear.
Besides, the prequels were a messianic archetype deconstruction only after the Skywalker saga because it was thematically complementary. It also works if you think Anakin as any sinner that fell into Lucifer's influence and Luke as Jesus, since Luke's thing is redemption and forgiveness.
Star wars is told from the jewish perspective. from the jewish perspective Jesus(anakin) was a failed messiah, and the second messiah (luke) would be the true messiah.
George Lucas' religious beliefs are like a lot of "spiritual people" which is a mix of some Christianity and some Buddhism by his own assessment and he's not Jewish.
Even if he was, who cares. Believe it or not, some people in Hollywood's goal is to make something entertaining and make a profit as well.
Not everything is a shadowy subversion.
I reject the Buddhist and new-agey force type stuff from Star Wars, but enjoy it for what's good about it, the good vs evil, the redemption of a bad character with Luke and Vader, the overall coolness and the great effects and the great characters like Han Solo.
And the prequels are never canon to me. The only canon to me is the original trilogy before the retarded special edition changes.
It's not Star Wars: A New Hope.
It's just Star Wars
And the rest are Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
If you want to read it that way fine, but Lucas has said Anakin is the prophesied "chosen one." And that's including Disney Star Wars
Why not Buddha?
That makes it even more based.
how? it makes Jesus the villain
It is an interpretation of what would happen if Jesus succumbed to despair and temptation in his desert ordeal instead of resisting.
i read it as how jews see Jesus as evil, for storming the temple and chasing out the money lenders, just like how Anakin stormed the temple but killed the kids instead in the star wars rewriting of the bible. the jedi are the jews and pharisees that Jesus had opposed but they are seen as the good guys instead of the bad guys.
All I know about Star Wars and religion is that the Sith are closer to Christianity than anything else.
They are closer to left-hand magic practitioners than christians, with all the subjugation of natural energy, centrality of the self, being instead of becoming, a literal "left-handed god" and all that
Eh I’m more thinking of the “you’re either with me or against me” philosophy of the Sith.
This is probably the most balls-in-your-face retarded interpretation of Christianity I've ever seen in my life, so congrats I guess
even the Inquisitors in Star Wars which are named after the irl Christian inquisitors are dark siders working for the sith in Star wars.
