“May the Force be with you is charming but it’s not important. What’s important is that you become the Force for yourself and perhaps for other people.”
–Harrison Ford.
Clever words from the Star Wars star. But did he hit the nail on the head?
Considering the religious themes of the first Star Wars movie in 1977 and what George Lucas said about God and his trilogy of films back in 1983, it would seem that the Force is a fictional metaphor for the LORD. So to say that the quote “May the Force be with you” is not important implies that it’s not important that the LORD be with you.
But at least one must give him a bit of credit for the 2nd sentence, as to me it seems to parallel with something Jesus said in Luke 13:24 & 33…make every effort to enter through the narrow door…and I must press today and tomorrow and the next day. Do you agree? Or am I reaching a bit to remind Christians (and myself) of those two verses?
Harrison Ford, the main star of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, …who portrayed Indiana Jones, a character who had to choose wisely in the last 15 minutes of the 1989 sequel The Last Crusade.
“You must choose, but choose wisely.”
