literally says SHE looks like an elf, implying she’d make a great zelda

    Its funny because the overlap of people who are in to Star Wars and Evangelical Christianity really took me by surprise. How are those two things so closely aligned? And let’s face it, remove the people who fundamentally believe it is their obligation to proscribe how and what people think and you get a whole bunch of people who realise that peoples gender identity is none of their damned business.

      It’s the prequels turning Anakin into a Christ-like figure. Meanwhile, the OT had a conception of the Force based on vaguely Eastern/Orientalist spirituality. Just compare Yoda’s monologue about luminous beings are we vs Anakin not being conceived by his parents like the virgin birth of Jesus.

      The American Monomyth is essential to both evangelicalism in america (apparently the resurrection isnt a big thing) and in star wars.
