In the midst of a corrupt world, we are called to believe, to love, to serve-to hope. Who hopes for what they already have? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently” (Rom 3:24-25). Paul speaks of hope in Romans: “For in this hope we were saved. Our hope is ultimately rooted in God Himself, and what He has done for us in Christ. For the Christian, Biblical hope is a confident expectation, a sureness that something will come to pass because God has promised it will happen. It’s far more than “fingers-crossed” wishful thinking. To live without hope is to cease to live.” Moltmann goes on to see hopelessness as a description of Hell, as represented by the inscription above the gates to the abyss in Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, “Abandon every hope, ye who enter here.” German theologian Jürgen Moltmann tells us that, “without hope one cannot live. Skywalker has become disenchanted with the Jedi way, despises himself due to his own inadequacies and failures, and despairs in a hopeless future. He is all too aware of his faults, his hubris and weakness. Rather, we find a man who has withdrawn from life, lost confidence in his ability, and lost hope for the future. The Skywalker we meet is no archetypal Wise Old Man, no Gandalf or Dumbledore, no sage mentor a la Alec Guinness’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, dispensing fatherly insight to guide our confused heroine Rey (Daisy Ridley) on her path to master the Force. However, in Episode VIII: The Last Jedi, we find the youthful hero now a cynical and haunted hermit. Over the course of the series, we’ve seen Luke grow on his hero’s journey from annoying, idealistic adolescent (Episode IV: A New Hope) to poised and self-assured Jedi (Episode VI: Return of the Jedi). Since the first days when we met him as a whiney youth on Tatooine, he’s been beaten up by Tusken Raiders, hung upside down by Wampa, stuck inside a dead Tauntaun, attacked by a giant Rancor, and mutilated by the biggest bad guy in the galaxy, who just also happens to be his Dad. Luke Skywalker has been through a lot in the series. Luke Skywalker, despair, and the loss of hope
Rey hands Skywalker his old lightsaber-but his reaction is not what we were expecting. Meanwhile, Rey (Daisy Ridley) seeks out the legendary Jedi knight Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) for his help to stem the rising tide of evil. The Rebels are outmanned, outgunned, and on the run for their lives. Star Wars: The Last Jedi has finally hit cinemas, and it was well worth the wait.Īs the film begins, the malevolent First Order is on the verge of wiping out the Resistance forever.
