Spiritual Warfare Forum: Star Wars

by Catherine Frakas 06 Feb 2001

Star Wars QUESTION from Harvey Dent on May 2, 2002 Just wondering what your opinion on the Star Wars series of movies are. Me, personally as a Catholic its just a case of everything in moderation-so long as you don't obsess over 'The Force' or see it as a credible alternative to God, I see no problem with watching entertaining escapism
ANSWER by John-Paul Ignatius, OLSM on May 19, 2002 Dear Mr. Dent:
I find the Star Wars movies to be juvenile and silly. I would prefer Star Trek which is more cerebral. Star Wars is just shoot-em up cowboys and Indians in space.
The Force however is a dangerous concept. It is NOT a credible alternative to God -- there is not alternative to God. The theology of the force comes from pantheism.
I think the movies may be watched and enjoyed, but I do think that we need to remember that the Force is a false concept. Our children need to be taught this as well. If the child is not old enough to understand that the force is a false concept counter to God, then he should not be allowed to view the movie.
