This one, Rise of Skywalker — was there a book of the Tanakh it reminded you of?
Hmmm.
Or a story or an anecdote, anything Jewish.
I feel like all the movies are very biblical. Especially this one in terms of the characters themselves. All the characters are the people you’d least expect to be a leader or to be the driving force and redeemer of the world, so to speak. And that’s arguably the most popular biblical trope you find: The underdog is actually the savior. Right? Like in the Torah, every single firstborn son gets pushed down by the younger, weaker son. And think about it: Moses, who redeems the Jewish people, is a slave, comes from a slave family. That’s the premise of a lot of Star Wars characters.
