Wow, I had no idea you were working on a piece of such length and depth, zombie84. Incredible. I just read the first chapter and had to force myself to tear away from it, otherwise I'll be sitting here all day and not get anything else done! Can't wait to really dig into it.

Regarding the Christianity bit, I hit that and immediately said "uh-oh...", knowing it would stir up a big controversy amongst those of that faith. I appreciate the comparison being drawn, but in my opinion that part would be better off excised as it opens up a can of worms that sidetracks from what you're trying to discuss here, and you don't want to go there right now. Leave it for another story and another time.* No need to alienate a huge number of Star Wars fans who can't bear to have their religion's origins questioned. To you it may be historical facts, but to them it may be tantamount to blasphemy. Better instead to alienate them on something specifically Star Wars-related!

Anyway, fantastic job on this, and very timely. I can see I'm really going to enjoy the rest of the work.
