something else at work? Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a fascinating

Science Fiction
Star Wars (1977, 20th Century Fox/Lucas Film Ltd.) Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker, Harrison Ford is Han Solo, Carrie Fisher portrays Princess Leia Organa, Peter Cushing is Grand Moff Tarkin, and Alec Guiness is Ben (Obi-Wan) Kenobi --- For the time, state of the art special effects were used (great way to do a compare/contrast with Jason and the Argonauts --- this movie is listed under Ancient/Greece). Farmboy, Luke Skywalker, joins with other freedom fighters to do battle against Darth Vadar and his evil cronies. Even though the producers/directors did not intend it, this movie is still a great way to point out Christian worldviews. My family generally sings a rousing chorus of Onward Christian Soldiers, Christ Shall Have Dominion, A Mighty Fortress is Our God, Faith of Our Fathers or other rousing Christian hymns after the movie (for days!). Many Reformation themes are throughout the movie (obviously, unintended by Hollywood) and the Freedom Fighters are shades of Oliver Cromwell (yeah!). Throughout the Star War series do a compare/contrast with WWII Army-Air Corps flight tactics.
The Return of the Jedi (1983, 20th Century Fox/Lucas Film Ltd.) This is the second in the series featuring, primarily, the same cast. Again, state of the art special effects for the time.
The Empire Strikes Back (1980, 20th Century Fox/Lucas Film Ltd.) The final episode in the Star Wars series.
