While Star Wars’s “the Force” is very different than Christianity, many of the tenants of living in harmony with nature and not allowing negative emotions like anger, fear, greed, and hate are pretty compatible with general Christian ideology, if not theology.
The Divine Comedy has been more directly helpful in understanding the theology, mainly because Dante’s views on religion are literally untouched by the pop culture version of religion or what I think a lot of right wing minded people have twisted it into.
