>From a ‘Net friend:

John Caputo, perhaps America’s leading Catholic philosopher, described (in a book) the Star Wars saga as the ‘religious narrative of our time’. He identified the ways in which Star Wars gathers and redeploys religious language and practices from the great world religions, Christianity included. Star Wars is not certainly not Christianity, he concludes, but it does express the basic religious longings of the humanuum as such.
