I disagree with Albert Mohler

Star Wars and Christian Truth — A Collision of Worldviews

Finally, I found something written by Al Mohler I disagree with:

The Revenge of the Sith is a gripping story, and the movie is propelled by generally strong acting performances. This episode’s central story line is the tranformation of Anakin Skywalker into Darth Vader — a Sith warrior. This moral transformation turns Anakin into a dark lord — an unmistakable representation of evil. By the movie’s end, the Sith rule the galaxy and the stage is set for the good guys — the Jedi warriors — eventually to return and defeat the evil Empire.

…movie is propelled by generally strong acting performances. Come on Dr. Mohler, you gotta be kidding me! Obiwan — yes, Yoda — yes, Wandu — so,so, Padme — negative, Anakin — yeesh.. I would say the best performance by the character Anakin was his first breath as Darth Vader.. hhho-perrr!

But on a positive note, Dr. Mohler’s comparison of “The Force” with Eastern mysticisim was intriguing. Mohler concludes that the movie was about world views and The Force embraces the New Age (postmodern) mantra of “no absolutes!”
