A look at the three-part Malevolence story from a Zen point of view.

Ambush: A Zen Perspective

you'llbedead — Jan 02, 2009 04:05 PM

As I have done with the film saga, I would like to comment on and analyze the TV show from a Zen perspective. Star Wars is clearly influenced by Zen and the two work well together. This is because Zen is a practical and immediately useful philosophy that

Here's some of my pictures from C IV. Sorry, no slave Leias.

What went on at Celebration IV? A whole lotta Leia slave gear that's what.

Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed has got Yoda flashing Buddhist gang signs. And the origin of Dagobah.

My part in Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed

you'llbedead — May 11, 2007 05:04 PM

I was interviewed for Star Wars: The Legacy Revealed, coming up on the History Channel and on DVD in Fall. The DVD is two hours, but the show on the History Channel is only an hour and a half (plus 30 minutes of beer and car commercials).

Got asked about the Imperial symbol and Buddhism. It's a topic most of you know chapter and verse, but some might find it interesting:

...And Act On Instinct

I've been talking lately about being courteous and kind to our fellow humans, but what about when you need to be firm and less than friendly? Sometimes real world situations don't allow us to live out our flowery ideals. Without going into details that

Long ago a Jedi Master and his Padawan were sent to Zolan to settle a dispute between rival factions.

V for Vader...er, alright, Vendetta

you'llbedead — Feb 15, 2007 04:56 PM

Qui-Gon's lost but rediscovered twin (he really does look like Qui-Gon) asked about fear and a sequence from the film V for Vendetta. So let's all discard the Jedi robes for a minute and don the Guy Fawkes mask.

Being (Anakin) and Nothingness

you'llbedead — Feb 12, 2007 06:11 PM

I wrote a book about Star Wars and Zen Buddhism. Sometimes I get questions about the two. Here's one of them with commentary (it's about why Anakin fell to the dark side--hint: it's NOT about attachment).

Be mindful of your feelings or bury them deep down. Now which is it?

Do. Or do not. There is no try.

you'llbedead — Aug 01, 2006 12:32 PM

A Zen spin on the whole "Do. Or do not. There is no try" thing by the Buddhist dude who wrote The Dharma of Star Wars.

Meditate on this, I will.

you'llbedead — Jul 28, 2006 10:43 AM

Barely coherent utterings on the religious and philosophical content of Star Wars by the guy who wrote The Dharma of Star Wars. (It's about Zen Buddhism and lightsabers, you'll love it)
