The Dharma of Star Wars - worth a read?

Greetings Temple!

Has any one of you read this book? ( goodreads link )
I'm really interested in it, but am afraid to order it and then find some complete gibberish... So I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter.

Have a wonderful day, and may the Force guide you all!

Absolutely worth a read. The first edition I read in 2005 or so was my first inkling that anything like this path existed. I got a copy of the revised version last summer; without comparing side by side it's difficult to see what the revisions were, but my first impression was that the revised was somewhat more detailed than I recall the first being.

I like it, still reading it over Kindle. Here is a sample from the book, note it's not the complete work, but should suffice to provide an idea as to whether you'll find it worth the buy or not...

I recommend it, for sure. It has very practical suggestions for leading a more mindful, Luke Skywalker-y life. Not gibberish at all!

It has some "cheesy" moments where he tries to stretch the material to fit with a moment from one of the movies...but if you can look past those it is a good read overall.

I may even re-read it...there are some passages that'll really make you think a moment...or give you an "Ah-ha"-ness...if that makes sense.

I read the book as part of my Apprenticeship so I recommend it.

Pretty good. Straight up buddhist, but definately worth what I paid for.

I am reading it right now. I purchased it with a gift card because I couldn't find anything else and I am glad I got it! I have a good amount of study in religion and, I must say, this is one of the easiest and deepest books I have read on Buddhist theology and understanding. It's pretty straightforward and comprensible on difficult issues like the doctrine of no-self and the issue of free-will and environmental factors. A little cheesy periodically but I remember what Alan Watts says to us: we need to have fun. Bortolin is really having fun. Amazing book that I will definitely be keeping on my bookshelf for sure

Wow, thank you all for your time and opinions! Considering that all of you feel the same (positive) way about this book, I am definitely buying it.
Thank you for helping me decide! :silly:
