well, the Star Wars mythology is taken from various religious iconography. It was a smart move — quite frankly people NEED mysticism, a sense of awe. If they don’t get it from their religion they look for it elsewhere — where in political ideology or movies or apple-fans etc.

Certainly the Gospel provides this sense of awe yet has a rational foundation. No form of mystic pantheism can provide this as there is no transcendental nature to the god of oneism.
