Do well on your exams and don't worry about the lunatic chanting something about conspiracy theories above, he probably talks to Yoda a lot in real life if you know what i mean.
Even though I've gotten used to the profoundly high quality content, and delivery of your videos, I was still taken aback by how deeply this video essay affected me. It was inspirational, and provoking of reflection and wonder to a degree that is still with me, and has effectively changed something in me. Thank you. I'm not sure you can fully appreciate just how much your videos affect me, and I'm sure many others, simply because, I wouldn't know how to express it. You re-interpret common, and sometimes seemingly vapid and obvious themes in pop-culture in such a way that is shocking by how moving they truly are. Once again, thank you. I look forward to your coming works.
I really feel bad, because there are people who might say this and actually believe, and do this, and there might be those who, might think they are being clever, and their intents at sarcasm end up with a rant by me. Either way, a metaphor for religion does not mean you should actually attempt to believe in "the force." As a person grounded in reality, I understand and enjoy science fiction for what it is: make believe. IF you want to enjoy, and acknowledge, the existence of a deity, God has been here all along, before the creation of the Universe(s (maybe)). The point is to see there are parallels in the wise teachings of those attempt to cultivate their spirituality, and inner connection to God.
"The Force is with me, and I am with the Force; and I fear nothing, for all is as the Force wills it" I get emotional every time I hear that... "Thy will be done"
I love these analysis videos so much! I just love delving deep into my favorite stories and finding all of the themes and symbolism that is hidden in plain sight, it really takes me back to my English Literature class in high school and reminds me why I love that subject. This analysis makes me appreciate Star Wars even more than I did before! Thank you for yet another great analysis!
The fact that you’re able to dig so deep into the material and explain so much in such a short amount of time, is staggering! Why isn’t this video trending? Seriously, thanks for making this I really enjoyed it!!!
Fascinating video, giving a sense of spirituality, belief, nature, etc. is truly a unique thing. Understanding the greater meanings within living beings and the spiritual plane's connection to the physical one and all that exists is truly something to behold. You all are amazing at this.
Great video. Someone once joked that if Yoda had to support an international language, it would be Esperanto. A simple yet effective language meant to unite everyone through a second language. Also they are both associated with green.
I absolutely agree with the universal way of the existing force. The Jedi way is a perfect description of this existence. Thanks for sharing this knowledge and inspiration. May the force be with you always.
I live life by a set of certain principles, ive taut my kids by being good strait forward , and doing the right thing is giving honor and respect to me and those that came b4, the force is with us and I respect it
as a kid I never thought about star wars' themes that deeply but as an adult the light/dark metaphor is more relevant than I realized. the flaw in the jedi's way was repressing the dark within them, instructing not to feel, evoke, or process any negative emotions, which eventually led to anakin's and therefore their downfall.
This is so important. Thank you for making this video. The world is a better place and life is easier for some of us thanks to what you made us see here. Thanks.
This had me tearing up a little. Terms like fantastic and awesome are bandied about with little thought, so now these are but diluted words. Your work is truly fantastic and awesome. I had goosebumps throughout, but especially the part about how we are trained to see unlikelihood. Thank you for this piece of art, because that's what it is to me. I will watch the movies again through a completely new perspective.
I've seen only two of your videos so far - "Why love never works in Star Wars" being the other - and I am tremendously impressed. You have a new subscriber!
"Like or Like not.. ..There is no dislike." To the team behind this video.. your work has the potential to change lives. If that is not magical, I don't know what is. May The Force be with You, ScreenPrism.
This definitely has to be my favorite video essay out of all of them. I saw the first trilogy of Star Wars films for the first time last year But now I feel like I need to rewatch them after seeing this.
Truly insightful and enjoyable to watch while thinking of starting to watch the saga again but with a open mind and soul. Thank you. Keep the great work and inspiring videos.
Ah, the world would be a much better place with people living as Jedis. I'm doing my best to live by these principles. Although the Jedi are 'fictional', they are the pinnacles of goodness, strength etc. Such powerful characters. Thanks for the video, awesome stuff!
I really love the sentence: we dont need to fear anything that can come to us, not even death. because the most important thing wouldn't die. I think its true. As the song in Coco said: Our love for each other will live on forever.
There's never been a channel I've been more happy to see start gaining revenue through advertising. Oftentimes it seems like a hindrance to the quality of the content, but for screenprism, the content comes first. Here's hoping screenprism continues its amazing work and gains the audience and viewership it deserves
This is why I am willing to suspend intense criticism of Rey’s force use in the first film before seeing ore of her character arc/what foundations she has so far that signals her ability to just do. She is a survivalist. She has not had the luxury to doubt. She has had to do and not try because she may otherwise die. Being left in Jakku was basically a great training ground for becoming someone who acts on faith, faith in her circumstances one day changing and faith in her self to do the near impossible each day (salvage parts on a planet highly picked over), because that is all she had.
Honestly I think like a jedi. I always look for the calmness in myself and connect to the rest of the world. Knowing that we are all one being but live and act as if we are decided. But I still have much to learn. I still have much to know and must be willing connect and learn how to hear the force.
We must remember that, for all the glorification, Star Wars has a simplistic logic in the sense it is binary. It makes little use of brainpower to comprehend and uses faith, a zealous product of emotion, to warn against raging emotion. Truth is there is a non-binary spectrum of aspects that match, coordinate, clash, and repel. Binary logic is how we oppress our emotions rather than use them or let them override our brainpower entirely. The force continues to reinforce primitive notions. I find SW is showing how we hold onto to such things. All supernatural things are really natural things if we let go of binary mystification. How many times does one imply the supernatural is the explanation for something by saying some things can't be explained. This is irony to which many are arrogantly clueless as a result of the sort of binary logic like the force. If only binary logic could not apply good and evil to everything then we might understand the static and dynamic better, at least. The force shows that no matter how tech we get the more primitive we might stay. Like the humans in Star Trek 5 who spoke of the center of the galaxy as a literal Eden.
Lost Age Comics I agree, just want to throw out that 'grey' jedi are an interesting fit relating to this topic and if youd see them as the non binary in the SW universe.
Surprisingly good and accurate video on a subject, on which is hard to be accurate about But if I remember well, this is not the first time I have to make this comment about a video from this channel Thank you for the videos you make :-)
This is a fascinating video, watching it now after the release of the Last Jedi it's amazing how relevant these points are for explaining a lot of the decisions of Luke and Rey's powers.
It is scary how true this is. I call it the universe, it does guide you if you listen. It is not always easy but it is always the right choice but it is difficult to hear. You do not need to give up possessions thankfully. It will guide you to all that you seek.
Good analysis. Very few people have ever understood the "force" is basically a retelling and simplifaction of the principles underlying Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism
I cannot love this enough. Even got a little misty in parts, from how relevant the messages are. For myself and prob most of us. Much Love and Wisdom, everybody:) This is my first comment ever, since utilizing RUclips for years.
10:03 WOW! You can actually see that he isn't present. Never noticed this in my 38yrs in this realm. Will be able to appreciate his growth montage, more than I already did.
But the Jedi way of cutting yourself off from family, like taking the young ones away from the love of their mothers, is sometimes what leads them to the dark side. If you empty yourself of one emotion something will rush to fill the void.
@Shayan I agree with everything, except for the part about kidnapping. While a few force sensitives were kidnapped, I believe that Jedi should make a choice to join, not just a choice to stay. I understand the risk of attachment, but Jedi have an attachment to each other, the bond between master and apprentice is especially strong. The Jedi of the prequel era seemed more afraid of attachment than in control of attachment.
Wow...just wow a phenomenal video! Y’all never disappoint!!🙌🏽 I knew that there was some spiritual connection between the force and God but I didn’t realize how deep it was. I didn’t know that George sought his inspiration from from God, spirituality, and religions. Thank you for doing this, this is a real encouragement to keep moving forward. I guess that’s why we all love these movies😏☺️ great job as always keep up the good work. #maytheforcebewithyou🖤
I love this video. Watching this video was a religious experience for me. Yoda is my favorite character in all of Star Wars and I was very pleased to see you condense everything that he talked about and taught into one, I don't want to call it informational because that would downplay it depth, video. It's interesting how you talk about how Yoda is small and unassuming and Luke doesn't recognize him as the Jedi Master. I learned a little while ago the name Yoda is the Sanskrit word for warrior. So when Luke says I'm looking for a great warrior, and Yoda says wars do not make one great, Luke is actually saying I'm looking for Yoda because Yoda means warrior.
I really, really loved this video. Thank you!!! Kind of life long wish to have it so I can promote those same lessons I took out of the film but would never be able to express as well you have.
In Star Wars dark and light represent the force. We see the Jedi were composed of both elements. To enter into light, a place of beginning first must be realized. (From the darkness of the void, light emanated). How the Jedi uses this force, is solely dependent on each Jedi, and what each Jedi perceive as truth.
Omg this is a great video for the people who hate on the last jedi. Be a part of the collective, do not only think for yourself. Do not fear, the force is taking care of us all.

This is more inspirational and deep then any ted talk I've ever seen.
Haha thanks!!
The great thing about this is it makes me think more, that is what makes it good
Than
I just noticed, on second viewing, "WORKS CITED & CONSULTED" at the end, and I respect that so much. Just wanted to say that.
anybody else think that Jesse Lee Peterson channels his inner Yoda
Great synthesis, just made me more motivated for my exams :) let's focus, stay in the now, value wisdom..
Do well on your exams and don't worry about the lunatic chanting something about conspiracy theories above, he probably talks to Yoda a lot in real life if you know what i mean.
By far one of the most beautiful and insightful videos I’ve seen in my life. So full of wisdom and truthfulness. Thank you SP
Great video isn't it, so insightful, hope lots of people see it
One of the most underrated channels on RUclips in my opinion.
Edit: but then again I want this channel to remain as my personal golden nugget!
Abyssinia Empire Totally!
Even though I've gotten used to the profoundly high quality content, and delivery of your videos, I was still taken aback by how deeply this video essay affected me.

wow, this analysis was beautifully executed and well-written.
I'll be honest, I teared up a little
Nothing wrong with that.
Same
Me too😭
thats the 'force' running through your body and chakras
I cried too
Bravo. This helps me with my faith. This has given me much to reflect.
Yoda's voice: Join a science fiction religion I should mmmmh
Vicente Ortega Rubilar better than the child fantasy religion that is Christianity
yes that logic makes so much sense..#sarcasm
@@petercarioscia9189 Christianity is poison.

"If you honor what they fight for, yes!" Damn thats an under rated quote.
This is so inspirational. I'm not religious but I am spiritual and these are great lessons to keep in mind.
"The Force is with me, and I am with the Force;

I get emotional every time I hear that...

every one of your videos should be in the YT trending tab --- good stuff!
Love it. You should do a video on how the dark and light are needed to balance the force and how Darth Vader was needed to bring this balance.
Thanks
