With the anticipation of The Force Awakens now that the trailer is out and Colbert defending the new light saber, I thought it would be fun to see what views various Star Wars characters might hold.
Inspired by a Facebook discussion and having blogged a bit on various approaches to foreknowledge, here are the theological views these characters might hold.
You cannot escape your destiny
(Return of the Jedi)
Determinist
It is proceeding as I have foreseen
(Return of the Jedi)
Simple Foreknowledge
Calculate every possible destination along that last known trajectory
(Empire Strikes Back)
Molinist
Difficult to see. Always in motion the future is
(Empire Strikes Back)
