Ok so you're a smart man I see that..now I ask you..do you think that Anakin's transformation has any veracity or is it just a rehashing of another fairytale?? I tend to lean on the side of thinking Anakin was Satan incarnate..
It's hard to say. George said in interviews that Anikan "made a deal with the devil" but in the movie he kind of IS the devil. It's really hard to say because Palpatine is the mastermind. It'd be like of the biblical devil was being manipulated by a higher evil to do his deeds and lead the rebellion.

Yes, just like Neo has some obvious similarities to jesus. But neither The Matrix nor Star wars are direct retelling of the bible. As you pointed out earler, there are elements of eastern religion, modern politics, historical wars, etc. It isn't just a modern retelling of the bible, as the linked article claims.
Yes I agree, it's not a retelling. Though, it is borrowing certain aspects from the bible and these other things and being told in a seemingly original manner.
