George Lucas on God, Love, and the Force

[The Mystical Man]

I just love this man.

One of my favorite creators of all time. I think I've watched Empire of Dreams like five times. It's just so incredibly inspiring. 

[Leo Gura]

Jar Jar is God.

Jar Jar is Truth.

Jar Jar is Love!

Jar Jar, literally, is my least favorite character in the Star Wars cosmos. He is a charade, clearly created for children, who fails to capture the essence and the message of the Force. Pure pablum.

If only he had some midi-chlorian, like Yoda has in spades.

[Leo Gura]

Plot twist: Jar Jar was just acting dumb to avoid extermination by Palpatine. Jar Jar was actually Yoda's master.

FYI: Lucas' original title for the prequil trilogy was: "Jar Jar's Adventure"

@The Mystical Man Wow thank you for eye opener.

Now i will watch his movies again 

Amazing!

You need at least one spades worth of midi-chlorians to jump like this:

Comical children's character? No.

Darth Jar Jar? Yes.

I love the prequels. They show you how you become a devil. When you try to make the impermanent permanent, you will become a broken man. It's lack of holism = division = fragmentation = partiality = brokenness = lack of harmony, imbalance = limitation = finite = selfishness = ugly = evil = hell = suffering. Fragmentation is also an interesting word to me. Voldemort actually fragmented his soul to make his own life permanent. I love Star Wars and Harry Potter. Those are stories about holism versus lack of holism. It's as close as fiction can get to encapsulating truths. And that's why those are the most popular stories on this planet. That's endlessly fascinating to me. Lucas and Rowling didn't just create beautiful art; they also generated billions of dollars with their art. It's a powerful combination of art and business. And I just love that. If I can achieve 1% of what they have achieved, I will be happy with my legacy.

Everyone is Jar Jar

I tried to make a thread about Profound Entertainment™. But you guys turned it into a thread about Jar Jar...

Fun fact: Yoda is actually based on Don Juan (from the Carlos Castaneda books, which I also love). 

"Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." 

“I’m saying that we all are unfathomable beings, luminous and boundless."
