Ha, maybe it is a little contrived, but the devil plays fast and loose with the facts when he's being creative. He also lies. He is the devil you know. That is why I didn't even get into Dune because it is brimming with lies, though it is fascinating.
But I am sure that I'm on the right track. Vader's "Stormtroopers" are fashioned after Franco's Catholic troops ( not nαzιs ). Actually the warfare in the movie with the Rebel troops vs. the Emperor is all taken from the Spanish cινιℓ ωαr, probably the ultimate just war in world history.
I know what you're saying Matthew, that the Emperor outranks Vader and even says that he made Vader. But isn't that how Protestants think, that the Pope is acting as if he were God? This portrayal of the Emperor would be in keeping with a disrespectful attitude towards the Papacy.
Your interpretation makes sense too EXCEPT the Father-Son dynamic between Luke and Vader is less resonant that way. The idea is that Luke, like the rebellious generations of today, is fighting against who he thinks is the bad guy and oppressor. Then at the end he learns that the "oppressor" is also his Maker, who has been watching him since birth, and just wanted to love him, as God wants to love all his children ( and we all could be his children if we obey )...
A Pope cannot be his Maker. There is an emotional resonance in this clash between Luke and Vader that people feel in their bones even if they don't understand the terrifying significance of what's really happening. They also feel instinctively that Darth Vader and Boba Fett are cooler than the heroes -- and they are. Boba Fett is DEFINITELY Michael the Archangel ( flying about, protecting his Lord ).
Oh, and there is also the fact that Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader was a virgin birth as we learn in Phantom Menace.
Remember Darth Vader saying to Luke "How powerful we could have been if you were on our side"? Yes, it's the "Dark Side" but that is in keeping with what I said in my original post, that Hollywood literally flips the truth upside-down and portrays good as evil, and evil as good. To a communist Jєω like George Lucas you must realize the Catholic Church IS the Dark Side.
The "good guys" --
Luke Skywalker -- Half-good and half-evil, deceived into killing off God by his "friends" in the Rebel Army ( that says it all ).
Han Solo -- The devil himself. He is named "Solo" to emphasize his smirking, rebellious nature. Played by the Jєωιѕн hαɾɾιson Ford. Notice how he has no regard for women, as Daniel says of the "man of sin." He is totally in love with himself.
Princess Leia -- Played by the Jєωιѕн Carrie Fisher, sister of the devil, but daughter of God. ( Keep in mind the devil is also a child of God. ) She becomes a pagan goddess worshipped by Ewoks and the eventual bride of the unfortunate Skywalker, who wears a haunted look after his "victory."
C-3PO -- A Brit, this connects the alliance between Britain and Israel, hence "British Israel." Brits are also associated with Protestantism since Henry VIII.
R2D2 -- C3PO's gαy pal.
Chewbacca -- Sidekick of Han Solo. An animal driven by pure emotion, he is the alter ego of the Luciferian Han Solo, who is a ravening beast inside.
Yoda -- Zen master and false teacher, probably one of the "Popes" of the VII "Church."
The Jedi Knights -- The "Cardinals" of the VII Church
So the good guys are like a combination of Jєωs, Protestants, pagans, New Agers, and ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs. Sound like a certain institution we know of today as the Novus Ordo?
The only question that remains is, who is Jabba the Hut? He lives in the desert, he is isolated, he tries to keep Leia in a prison, as a slave, in a way protecting her from continuing to fight on the side of the rebels. Maybe he's a sedevacantist?
