User:Firebird/Biblical references

This is a list of all the Biblical references in Star Wars that I've found. Feel free to edit with extra references, intended or not. I'll allow speculation, especially since it's not going to hit the mainspace any time soon. No, I did NOT intend to create it there, admins =/

Before anyone asks, I'm an atheist. Just interested in the mythos, is all.

Add stuff below the line, please. Running commentary allowed, but please limit it to a couple of lines.


 * Mara Jade Skywalker - "Mara" meaning "bitter" in Hebrew. Clearly intended for the Thrawn Trilogy (you can't tell me she wasn't angry back then), can now be considered irony.
 * Luke Skywalker - "Luke" meaning "luminous" (as in, shiny/bright/anything to do with light) in Hebrew. Likely not intended, but it does fit with those "embodiment of the light side" theories I've heard about.
 * The bodies of the Endor system - named after cities in the Old Testament. Also, look at this Google search result. Heh.
