Words mean nothing. Action demands change. If you want this board to become like it was, then you must be prepared to take the action necessary for that change. It is written.

 

What similarities can you see between The Force and martial arts philosophy?

My mom has a "Science Fiction and Fantasy" magazine from 1978 with an interview with George Lucas. They talk at length about the sources for Star Wars: Alex Raymond, Doc Smith, Carlos Castenada, Captain Blood, etc.

 

In that interview Lucas talks about how he investigated the Japanese martial art of Aikido to help him shape the principles of the Force.

 

It's REALLY interesting.
