	Wikipedia: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
		Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is the original installment in the Star Wars series of movies by George Lucas.
		In general, the Star Wars movies have followed the convention, common in space opera, in which planets stand in for regions of the Earth, so that there would be a desert planet, a jungle planet, and so on.
		Meanwhile, Darth Vader, on the Death Star where Leia is imprisoned, attempts to use the ways of The Force to extract the location of the Rebel Base - however she has managed to resist the interrogation thus far.

	Reconstructing the Public Domain
		Theories favoring the public domain look to reach into the spiritual core of human history and knowledge systems, while those for copyright grasp at economic and transactional models.
		The theory that longer periods of copyright do not satisfy the Constitutional requirement for promoting the arts and sciences, is not the same thing, says James Boyle, and others, as saying that the public domain must be strengthened.
		War itself is cynical; one is reminded of Sun Tzu's famous dictum, "All war is based on deception," which might be altered for the modern age to include as well no small degree of Delphic self-deception.

		Although the roots of "Star Wars" are not the noble classics, its strengths of an epic and entertaining story remain, and it is those strengths that make it such popular entertainment.
		The relationship between "Star Wars" -- and indeed most traditional science fiction -- and mythology does not lie in surface elements, like props, character names, etc. The relationship between science fiction and myth -- both of which are included in a genre known as fabulist literature -- is at a structural level.
		The plot is almost identical to that of the first "Star Wars" movie: A willful and rather obnoxious princess must escape through enemy territory with a secret cargo that will restore her defeated clan to power.

	The Book of Mormon: Stolen from Modern Writings? Plagiarized? A Fraud? No!
		For any non-divine source to be considered seriously as a possible source of the Book of Mormon, as a minimum it must provide stronger parallels than I have found with relatively little effort (spare time during a period of a week) by examining Walt Whitman's text.
		In considering the possibility of plagiarism, one should ask if there is any consistent relationship between the two texts to show that one was used to construct the other.
		The most obvious and immediate objection to the popular theory that the Indians were the ten tribes was that the ten tribes were civilized and the Indians were not.

		Battlestar Galactica is the story of the Mormons retold with the visual vocabulary of Star Wars, plus a few ideas from TV westerns and tabloid archeology.
		Star Wars and Galactica are superficially similar because they (not coincidentally) share two key crew members: John McQuarrie (who visually designed the spaceships, locations and some characters for both productions) and John Dykstra (who invented the system for animating spaceship models used by both productions).
		I have a pet theory that Siegel and Shuster borrowed their naming convention for Kryptonians (Jor-el, Kal-el) from the Hebrew names for most of the angels in the Torah (Gabri-el, Uri-el, Satchi-el); "El" is a Hebrew word for God.

	Exploratory Essays Research Papers - Star Wars as Church History
		Koenrad Kuiper, writing in the Journal of Popular Culture in the mid 1980s suggests that "[the] Star Wars trilogy creates and recreates imperial myths which serve to sustain imperial culture" (77).
		Since Kuiper was writing, however, we have been graced with the first in the Star Wars series, The Phantom Menace.
		Interesting in light of Kuiper’s thesis is that this latest addition to the Star Wars mythology concerns itself with two beginnings: the beginning of the evil Empire of the other three movies, and the beginning of Anakin Skywalker, father to Luke Skywalker and the future Darth Vader.

		Consider the details in the Book of Mormon about secret societies and the various roles they play as external and internal threats, coupled with their workings, their oaths, their strategies, the wars they create, their ways of gaining influence among lawyers, merchants, and political rulers, and so forth.
		There is not a doubt in my mind that these secret societies will be what brings about all the war, famine, and other atrocities that will precede the second coming.
		I urge you all to take a look at alternative news sources; unsuprisingly, many of the mainstream news conglomerates are headed by members of secret societies.

		Most of the contents of the Cathedral consist of compositions that cannot be found in any other source.
		This study provides convincing arguments and evidence that Neo-Hispanic composers-Creoles, Mestizos and Indians alike-very quickly branched off from the Spanish polyphonic tradition, and developed a language that was quintessentially Neo-Hispanic, and ultimately Mexican.
		This work thus includes not only the advancement of a theory of aesthetic syncretism, but, more importantly, the revival of a body of music that has long been neglected by history.
