Yoda was a Buddhist

I recently read The Gospel According to Star Wars. Being a Star Wars fan I was excited to read a book with such an interesting premise. The book just wasn’t what I was hoping it would be. To me the title does not seem to be all that serious. While I expected an interesting story I ended up with a “theological” study.
While it was a well written book, I could never get into it. I got stuck on my hopes for a story. If you are interested in a deeper look into the themes of good and evil, the many Christ characters, or how Yoda often presents Buddhist philosophy this is the book for you. If you are looking for a fun Start Wars story this isn’t quite it.
