Star Wars Exposed - Necromancy Exposed in Star Wars
In the best-selling books and movies of the last 40 years (or so), Star Wars is near the top. It has become a global phenomenon and now Disney has gotten its hands into the franchise. We are seeing more and more people eager to purchase Star Wars toys, games, books, and movies for themselves and their children. But, does Star Wars promote the occult? Does it promote sorcery? Jedi knights don’t wear pointy hats or hold magic wands, but are they sorcerers?
In the Star Wars films we see a few times when either Obi Wan or Yoda (or or other deceased Jedi) return in a semi-transparent, ghostly form. In The Clone Wars (a Cartoon Network show), Anakin Skywalker speaks with Qui Gon Jinn’s ‘ghost.’ At another time, Obi Wan speaks with the same Qui Gon ‘ghost.’ (Note: I don’t watch Star Wars films or videos anymore. I just found the video clips of this ghostly interaction by internet search.)
In the original Star Wars films, Obi Wan’s ghost appeared to Luke Skywalker, and counseled him. Is this necromancy? Dictionary.com defines necromancy as: “a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art.” [B.]
The practice of speaking with the “dead” is called necromancy, when seeking wisdom or knowledge by occult means. This is a type of divination. God forbids divination, necromancy, wizardry, and magic in Deuteronomy 18.
Deuteronomy 18:9-13
“[9] When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. [10] There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass
through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. [11] Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
[12] For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. [13] Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.”
The belief that the spirits of dead people remain on earth is a pagan and occult idea. (To learn more about what these spirits are, click here.) The Bible says:
