Churchgoers explore 'the force'

The force is strong among a group of West Yorkshire parishioners who held a special service on Sunday to celebrate the release of Star Wars Episode III.

The service at St Cuthbert's in Wrose, Bradford, came after children in the church explored the movie's ideas.

"We wanted a special service to bring these themes together and celebrate the victory of good over evil," said the Reverend Paul Walker.

The service also included a hymn sung to the John Williams Star Wars theme.

4. Do you think they will show the Wookie Porn at that event?

For those of you who don't know: The 1978 Star Wars holiday special featured a wookie watching porn.

http://www.teleport-city.com/movies/reviews/r-s/star_wars_holiday_special.html

While they wait for Chewbacca to get home from his life of running guns and breaking the law (Chewbacca really isn't a very good role model, not to mention the fact that he's never around for his kids), they amuse themselves in all sorts of ways. Molla frets in the kitchen and watches a really long cooking. Itchy watches a little wookie porn. Yeah, you heard me. Wookie porn is pretty lame, even by porn standards. It's a hologram of a scantily clad human woman wriggling around and giving the usual phone sex phrases. Pretty risque for a family show. I don't know why wookies want porn of humans, other than who watching this holiday special would want to see a hairy wookie writhing around in a teddy? Well, okay, who besides the people who read this website? But it sort of works, I guess. After all, there were rumors that part of the reason Han Solo knew so much about wookies was because he was married to one. So if Han can dig a wookie, I guess certain wookies can enjoy watching a hairless pink lady with feathered 1970s hair dry hump a couch of a the future. That Itchy does this right in front of his family is what's more disturbing. Lumpy innocently plays with his stuffed bantha. Lord knows what Itchy would do if he got a hold of the thing.

2. Remember the bumper stickers in the late 70s, "The Force is Jesus"?
Well, that started a controversy in my church.

Because, of course, Jesus has no dark side.
