EP. 174Ritual, material, cultural adaptation, genuine faith: these are a few things that mark real-world communities defined by metaphysical beliefs, what we call “religions” nowadays. How well does Star Wars depict religions and their communities, at least analogously? Does it show widespread beliefs and practices, or confine them to a select few practitioners? When does it explore the relationship between the elites and the masses of a religious hierarchy? If a Jedi gives a Sunday sermon, do they have a congregation to hear it?
