Forum:SH Archive/List of Biblical references in Star Wars

Something I'm researching out of curiosity. All these are off the top of my head, there's probably more I haven't found yet.


 * We have "Mara", meaning "bitter" in Hebrew (which I've always found a bit ironic in-universe, but that's another subject).
 * We have "Luke", meaning "luminous", again in Hebrew (fitting in with the whole light-side-avatar thing. Don't care if this wasn't intended).
 * And the bodies of the Endor system, which are named after cities in the Old Testament.
 * As well as the Leviathan, which likely has nothing to do with the traditional sea monster apart from name (I've never cared for KotOR myself, and I don't intend to check the article).

Just in case anyone's wondering, I'm an atheist. Firebird 03:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
