10 Star Wars Quotes That (Might) Work in a Sermon

Today is that special day of the year where Star Wars fans get to say “May the 4^th be with you” in reference to the famous Jedi blessing “May the force be with you.” I’d guess the percentage is pretty high that everyone reading this has seen at least one of the Star Wars movies, and the odds that some of you have referenced something from Star Wars in one of your sermons is…well in the words of Han Solo, “Never tell me the odds.”

There is no evidence of the Star Wars movies being based on Christian principles, but that hasn’t stopped people from wanting them to be. If you Google Star Wars + Christianity you’ll find out what I mean, including this book.

In an attempt at being relevant, we thought it’d be fun to post some of the quotes from the movies that just maybe, possibly have come from biblical principles.

Here is our list of top 10 Star Wars quotes that could potentially be over-spiritualized. Enjoy!

1. “Who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?” — Obi-Wan

2. “The ability to speak does not make you intelligent.” — Qui-Gon Jinn

3. “Sometimes we must let go of our pride and do what is requested of us.” — Padme

4. “Always pass on what you have learned.” — Yoda

5. “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.” — Yoda

6. “Your focus determines your reality.” — Qui-Gon Jinn
