Paul McCartney In Get Back

when people hate paul it's like do you hate sunshine and puppies and happiness and also bitchy men with control issues and a propensity for lying

The Beatles : Star Wars

Two of my favourite subjects....

Here are some ideas I bet no one else plays with, at least not all at once...

Let's start with how Luke Skywalker's hairstyles are all variations of a Beatle-cut...

Or the recurring names...

John Lennon : John Williams. James Paul McCartney : James Earl Jones George Harrison : Harrison Ford Ringo Starr : Death Star George Martin : George Lucas

Not to mention how John & Paul were two of the leading apostles (John Lennon & Paul McCartney), and how Mark & Luke gave their names to two of the gospels (Mark Hamill plays Luke Skywalker). And so many Georges...

Or that in actual fact Ringo Starr and Carrie Fisher were (briefly) dating during the filming of Star Wars...

But it all comes together in the Harrisong “The Inner Light” (which incidentally also inspired an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation). The lyric was borrowed from a translation of the Tao Te Ching, an ancient Chinese spiritual and philosophical text that bears an uncanny resemblance to the moral principles of the Jedi and their philosophy about The Force.

Taking a more nuanced view: the underlying theme throughout The Beatles music is Love. Although their expressions of Love originated from romance and desire, it evolved into a deeper realms of understanding Love. Love is Light (thus wrote the apostle John), and the Jedi are servants of the Light Side of The Force. Compassion, understanding, tolerance, sincerity.... all recurring themes in The Beatles music, the Jedi teachings of Star Wars, and the passages of the Tao Te Ching.

Taking a broader view, The Beatles and Star Wars are both mythologies. One takes place on Earth during a fixed timespan of human history, and only comes into sharper focus through the lens of hindsight. The other takes place in a fictional galaxy over an indeterminate timespan, and may continually be expanded upon as it has no temporal limits.

(The Tao Te Ching, by contrast, though it paints much pastoral imagery and expounds upon several philosophical precepts, it contains no mythology and only a vague cosmology.)

The foundation of Star Wars mythology is well expressed by the progression of the 7 Classical Planets, upon which the entire saga is built thereafter.

The Beatles mythology is built from a progression of historical events that is constantly being reexamined and added to, and so the story is perpetually being revised.
