Hello, I'm Matt Whitman, and you're listening to the 10 minute Bible hour podcast.

What I'd like to do in this brief introduction is walk you through an outline of today's conversation.

We'll begin by discussing the larger Star Wars cinematic universe, which will seem entirely unrelated to the subject matter

at hand, but as we narrow the focus on that down to Star Wars episode 3 and one particular dialogue exchange there will then hit a

silky smooth segue into Matthew chapter 7 and a series of comparative statements

Jesus makes that both the original audience and the modern

audience might find disturbing because of their absolute tone.

Once again, my name is Matt, this is the 10 minute Bible Hour podcast.

Welcome, friends, and let's begin.

So we're watching all the way through the Star Wars movies with my kids right now,

and my youngest barely remembers the

actual films we've watched the clone wars together we're doing it all in

order right now and so of course you have to start with the prequels to watch it in

order and those are a little tough to get through and then we watched

the Clone Wars cartoons and the Samurai Jack Clone Wars cartoons and Star Wars rebels which was difficult to get through

but it had its moments and it tried to have some

thematic value and then we went to Q up episode four and I was like oh wait we got to do

rogue one and solo I think those probably happen right here.

So we loaded up Rogue One on the Disney Plus,

and I just remember thinking the one time I saw this movie in theaters,

oh, I hated it.

But now that I've seen the sequel trilogy, I'm like, you know what? That was actually kind of good. It was watchable by comparison. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's a good movie, but the way it looks and the way it feels and the way it's paced, it's better than anything else that's come out since Disney has had it.
