"This seems to me interesting, in part because the Star Wars films are so charmingly blind to their own complicity with fascist ideology. What I mean is that Lucas thinks he’s critiquing fascism, or at least dramatising the fight against fascism. The bad-guy Imperials with their Nazi-chic uniforms and their ruthless ways and all that. But of course the real fascists here are the peculiar warrior cult called the Jedi, Lucas’s hero-figures, who wield power in an unaccountable and unelected manner; who are genetic supermen dedicated to the arts of war at the expense of messy human entanglements, like sex (which, of course, they are forbidden). Who, most of all operate in the service of an obscure, exacting and fundamentally mystical system of beliefs; one that privileges a transcendent ‘oneness’ (referred to with the Hitlerian, or at least Nietzschean, moniker ‘the Force) over the diversity and hybridity of actual life. Their devotion to this cause gives them, they believe, the right to override all other moral obligations. These same Jedi in the course of Revenge of the Sith attempt to murder the democratically elected leader and instead enforce rule through their mystical beliefs."

"When Jesus comes to town, it is possible to feed the hungry. All of them. When Jesus comes to town, clean water can be a reality. Disease can be cured and controlled. When Jesus really does come to town, we can bring the marginalized into fellowship, and we can offer hope to the hopeless."
"The right-wing press that is so angry with the bishops has been complaining for years that Christianity (for better or worse, our national religion) is too weak and small a voice, that its values are not fought for. Now it’s happening, they hate it."
