My problem isn't that there are no parallels to Christ at all -- there are, and Lucas included them deliberately -- but that these parallels are too superficial to go anywhere or say anything. It's just a metaphor, an inconsistent one at that, included for its own sake.


Agreed. If I look at this hard enough, I can see links back to the Bible, to Shakespeare (check out Macbeth for the theme of ambition, Lear for hubris, etc.), and even back to some Greek theatre I've studied.

Methinks George Lucas is an artsie.
