We interrupt Comic-Con news for this important announcement:
This Sunday, BEACON (a entertainment industry group from my church) is sponsoring a screening of STAR WARS.
After the screening, I am on a panel with Bob Lee, Cory Edwards and others to discuss the Theology of Star Wars.
Free event, if any are interested.
I am also looking for pointers, hint hint.
I of course will be prepared to talk about Mr. Lucas’ desire for the film (I have the Moyers interview), Campbell’s take on myth, and my own spin on the Judeo-Christian ideals that come out in the story.
And I have the Dick Staub book on order.
Here’s the info on the screening and discussion:
Sunday Film Nig
ht: The Theology of Star Wars [ August 3 ]7:30 p.m. Discipleship Center :: Use the Force (What force? Good question!) and join us for the iconic, culture shaping film STAR WARS.

Sounds like a great idea. Will you tape it? Do you plan to do it with other movies?
I don't know if they are taping it; I will look into that.
Beacon does this, or some variant, with a different movie every month.
I would really dig a "podcast" of the talk. (Adds a point to Jennifer's comment)
