I'm impatiently waiting for the Star Wars fandom to realise just how much Lucas borrowed from Arab culture and Islam in general

Like really? Jedi? JEDI???

Did he think we wouldn't notice the play on the Arabic word Al-Jeddi??

Al-Jeddi, which means 'master of the mystic warrior way?'

Or the fact that Admiral Ackbar's name is Ackbar (means the greatest in Arabic)

Or the fact that the Jedi robes were based off of North African Muslim Sufi robes they saw a lot of while they filmed in North Africa

Or the fact that the planet Mustafar comes from the Arabic name Mustafa, which means 'the chosen one', which is ironically where Anakin (the chosen one himself) had his ultimate showdown and later chose to live?

Or the fact that 'Tatooine' is literally just a city in Tunisia?

I want to do a longer post about this at some point.

This is a concept drawing for The Journal of the Whills, my pitch for the inevitable Obi-Wan spin-off film. Obi-Wan cuts all his hair off, briefly joins the Nightsisters, goes on an adventure with baby Leia, and struggles with PTSD, all the while desperately trying to reach Qui-Gon’s ghost.

I swear it all makes sense in context, lol.
