Episode # 1417 - A Long Time Ago In A Star Wars Galaxy Far, Far Away….
Wednesday May 04, 2016

Due to Father Anthony recovering still, this is a rebroadcast from December 30th, 2015. Also, since it's Star Wars Day, this show includes that franchise in the discussion. Enjoy and thank you and we apologize for any inconveniences.
On this live show, after a few rebroadcasts due to Father Anthony being
sick, but recovering, today Father Koys and Tony and Producer Nick from
time to time today, the discussion focuses on Star Wars, since the new
film, The Force Awakens is out and the laughs and fun start off the show
pretty good today, and Star Wars being on everyone's mind today, with
Father Koys hoping to wrinkle peoples brains (as usual) with Star Wars.
However, Father Koys relates the Star Wars franchise to religious
beliefs and Father's own reactions toward the incarnation of certain
doctrines. The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy is also shared with this in
mind. However, Father Koys shares his feelings on Star Wars: The Force
Awakens, after recently seeing it, like Producer Nick and Tony saw it
too, as well as the entire Star Wars franchise, which in turn relates to
how he feels on things going around us, as well as religious
topics/subjects and how the reactions from Star Wars are different (or
similar) to reactions to the Bible and the Church. He also points out
how both the stories of Star Wars and the stories of the Bible and
Religion are similar in some way both being great stories about good vs
evil, but as stated, could be difference in feelings. Tony shares his
feelings on this too. After the first break, Father Koys brings the
Lord Of The Rings story with this, this story also being a great story
and relates to the discussion. With these stories in mind, Father Koys
shares how the Star Wars and The Lord Of The Rings films/stories are
religious stories in some ways. Another, obvious relation to religion
and God in Star Wars many have stated, The Force. A fourth franchise of
films to help use the religious similarities shared here: The Matrix
Trilogy, providing more insights to religion through the characters in
all three of these film/story franchises being related to Jesus and
others or Jesus Figures, like Neo as the One and Frodo the Hobbit. It's
worth pointing out how each of these characters, such as Luke
Skywalker, Frodo the Hobbit, and Neo are all related to ourselves, that
we can give in to things like temptation, such as the One Ring with
Frodo and can fall.
*WARNING, towards the end of the show, there are some spoilers for the Force Awakens, so: SPOILER ALERT!*
