which reminds me... <br>was george lucas heavily inspired by biblical terms and persons for star wars?<br><br>..."admiral akbar" is most definitely taken from the arabic term "allahu akbar" (which means of course "god is great")<br><br>...and yeasterday i was wondering if the word "jedi" is actually derived from one of the biblical names of god ("el shadai", meaning the will of god and his ability to set limits.) any thoughts?<br><br>p.s. no im not stoned ...(yet) hehe
da kiddo: i don't know about biblical inspiration but i know george lucas frequently consulted Joseph Campbell about the hero archetype and the hero's journey....anyway, just a little tidbit fyi...
i just looked this campbell dude up on wikipedia and it said he studied cg jung's ideas concerning archetypes. interesting. ok well enough of that esoteric bs ;)
