Bible Study based on Star Wars

A church in the US is actually using Star Wars as materials for their Bible Study. It is titled "Gospel According to Star Wars."
In the first session, for example, class members discussed the urgency and need to share their faith with others. The class discussed how every action R2-D2 takes in the first 30 minutes is motivated by his need to share his message from Princess Leia to Obi-Wan Kenobi, including going into the desert on his own.

Adams likens that to Matthew 28:19: "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
For the spiritually-minded Star Wars fans, the article has a link to the church's website which contains a PDF of the Bible Study material.
