Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00539)

hello pedro,

Haven't seen the movie yet, but I do recognize an absolute statement when I 
see one. Obi-Wan is making an absolute statement. And because his 
statement is framed as an absolute (specifically by the word Only) he in 
effect negates the validity of the statement even as he says it. Unless of 
course Obi-Wan is a Sith. The Star Wars saga deals with absolutes. It is a 
modern version of good vs. the dark side and like all previous versions 
good will triumph over evil in the end. Is George Lucas a Sith?
