Stimbo's parody is clever. Although there are some parallels between Lucas' storyline and the Gospels, I suspect that this is overly stated because the plots vary on several points:

Obi-Wan Kenobi did not actually rise from the dead physically. The disciples touched Jesus, watched him eat a piece of fish and he prepared breakfast for them on a beach (cf Jn 21). To the best of my recollection, Obi-Wan Kenobi did not actually appear to Darth Vader. He did not appear to Han Solo.

Doesn't matter. We can split hairs all day. The point is do you have a theory which explains all of these facts?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
