How Jewish is Star Wars?

So the ongoing discussion continues - what is the hidden religious message behind Star Wars? And which faith has a better claim over the films?

The Houston Chronicle reports:

Some believers in Judaism see their view of the human condition depicted in Lucas' movies. Rabbi Alexander Seinfeld sees clear similarities between Star Wars mythology and Jewish mysticism.

"I remember after having learned more about Jewish tradition, I became convinced that Lucas must be Jewish!" says the rabbi, author of The Art of Amazement: Judaism's Forgotten Spirituality.
