Is Michael Smulkowski for real?




A review of "Is Luke Skywalker a real person?"

This little piece (only five pages long) is either a kind of troll post, or the work of a very confused young man. It argues that Luke Skywalker, the character from “Star Wars”, is a real person from our future. George Lucas could somehow tap into future events through a process similar to channeling. Nostradamus also saw Luke. C-3PO is an allusion to humanity before the Tower of Babel, and to the Ego extinguished by Zen monks through their koans. Luke's journey to Cloud City is an allusion to the Biblical passage “Two men will be in the field, one will be taken and the other left”. Ultimately, we learn that Luke Skywalker is a reincarnation of the Buddha, and that he gets married, but only in non-canonical Star Wars novels?! Blaaaaah, no, this must be a joke! Besides, if "Star Wars" is the result of paranormal precognition, how does Smulkowski explain "Valerian and Laureline", huh, huh? Gotcha!
