The Real Star Wars
Discover a surprising truth that will affect your future.
by Scott Ashley
Good vs. evil. Light vs. darkness.
A struggle for control of the universe. A powerful, personal force that helps humans
resist and overcome the menacing influence of the dark side.
These intriguing themes have propelled the Star Wars movie series to a position
among the most popular and financially successful films in motion-picture history.
Their dramatic stories strike a powerful chord with moviegoers of all ages.
Amazingly, a surprising amount of truth lies behind many of Star Wars' powerful
stories. Some of the series' fascinating underlying themes represent not only the
truth, but they have exerted--and continue to exert--a profound impact on history.
The central conflict of the series--the ascendance of a seemingly invincible evil
force and the resulting struggle to overthrow that power--isn't a mere science-fiction
fantasy. The story has been around for some 2,000 years--in the pages of your Bible.
Star Wars' Factual Foundation
Consider for a moment: What is the theme of the Star Wars movie series?
It chronicles the valiant struggle of a tiny group against overwhelming odds. A massive
evil empire dominates the universe, and it in turn is controlled by a few sinister
figures who don't hesitate to use their supernatural powers to ruthlessly crush any
opposition to their rule. These leaders are dominated by "the dark side," an evil
force that holds them tightly in its grip.
Combating the mighty empire are a handful of men and women from all walks of life
who join forces in a heroic struggle to overthrow their cunning and powerful enemy.
They, too, utilize a supernatural power, "The Force," which empowers them to continue
their courageous and determined battle against evil.
In many ways their story is the story of mankind. History is a chronicle of despots
and oppressors whose vain ambition has brought unspeakable suffering to others. Such
evil rulers and empires have ultimately fallen, only at times to be replaced by equal
if not greater evil. The carnage of World War I, for example, led directly to the
even greater devastation of World War II and its resulting death camps, Stalinist
purges and the world's ongoing nightmare of potential nuclear annihilation.
