Was Star Wars Inspired by the Bible?

I feel like Star Wars was a bit inspired by the Bible the figure of Jesus was separated into 2 characters in Star Wars Anakin and Luke Anakin was born without a Father just like Jesus was born with Mary Qui Gon and AOTC Obi Wan look like Jesus Qui Gon fighting Darth Maul on Tatooine it is very similar when Jesus was tempted by the Devil in the Desert even Maul have Red Skin like a Demon Qui Gon died and resurrected with the Force just like Jesus did Obi Wan Yoda and Anakin become Force Ghosts Order 66 is similar to some Stories of the Bible Luke is also very similar to Jesus Luke Story is like the New Testament equivalent but in Star Wars Luke is like a New Messiah who will change the Galaxy when Luke Rebuild the Jedi Order in the EU with his Jedi Apprentices is very similar to how Jesus was with his Apostles in the Bible even the Jedi Philosophies and Beliefs are very similar to the Apostles Ewan Mcgregor played Jesus in One Movie so what do you think about this?

Depends on when you ask George and what he feels like saying that day

I’m sure George was influenced by it, at least on a subconscious level. Since he was raised Christian, it’s hard not to have that upbringing show through in your work, especially in a good vs. evil fantasy story. The morality of Star Wars is more Buddhist than Christian, though.
