    Btw, if anyone doesn't believe that STAR WARS, not the Prequels, but the entire FIRST VI EPISODES, originated from The Condor Heroes, which was first published in 1959/1961, then I highly recommend them to download the anime dubbed in English here and check it out for themselves:


    http://anime.thehylia.com/downloads/series/legend-of-the-condor-hero (anime download link)


    It begins with QiGon Jinn taking boy Luke Skywalker (13 y/o) to train at the Gungans Tribe (= Quanzhen Sect), where Luke meets Padme (18 y/o woman = 5 years older) nearby, who resides within the Tomb Sect (= Naboo Palace) and eventually marries her.

    As you will see LucasArts did all sort of creative modifications to the original story, such as Darth Maul defeating QiGon (= Da'Erba, the priest with the iron rod-like weapon), rather than the other way around. And, Padme being Anakin's wife, rather than Luke.

    Anyways, the 1st story arc ends with Luke trying to unravel the circumstance of his father's death, only to discover Anakin was an evil person who betrayed his people and met an untimely death as a result.

    Along the way, we meet some interesting characters, such as an old ObiWan who likes to do hand stands, and who Luke calls [surrogate] "father", and a Yoda who likes to eat cooked centipedes (Yoda chasing after Luke's food when they first met anyone?) They died peacefully right after training Luke on a snow field (= the snow field on Hoth where Luke lay frozen/ObiWan & Yoda becoming Force ghosts soon after training Luke)...

    Finally, in the intro/title sequence, we see Luke riding THE Giant Condor (= The Millennium Falcon)!


    (Btw, my rantings up to now may seem like that of a mad-man, but not to those already familiar with The Condor Trilogy...) ;)

    (The way to think of STAR WARS is that it exists as an alternate universe to The Condor Heroes. But still, there are "colliding points of similarity" between the universes that propel essentially the same story forward...)

    The (Main) Villain of STAR WARS Had Always Been Some Sort of Priest:

    [​IMG]

    (Above: Darth Maul appears to be some sort of underling Priest [with bald head] to the great monk Darth Sidious)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lightsaber&previous=yes#Saber_throw


    Western monks / Eastern monks:

    [​IMG]


    Darth Sidious / The Golden Wheel Monk:

    [​IMG]

    (Emperor Palpatine is the only monk faction [+ Anakin Skywalker] whose members are known to have golden irises = "Golden Wheel" monk when fully venturing into the Dark Side)


    Supreme Leader Snoke in SW: TFA / Cheng Kun in Heaven Sword & Dragon Saber:

    [​IMG]

    (No, Snoke isn't modeled after Lord Voldemort's dad, but true to the episodes that came before it, a bald-headed S h a o l i n monk, aka Cheng Kun.

    There are 2 types of priests in STAR WARS. 1. The Mongolian ones like Maul/Palpatine (which are based off of Mongolian characters in The Condor Heroes) wear the brotherhood robes. 2. Snoke is based on Chinese [Shaolin] monk, hence why he looks different than the previous priests, but he's still a monk...


    What is a Shaolin monk [only the most re-known institution in China, the closest you can get to a "Jedi Academy" in real life]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XB4D-3jxDU (Shaolin Kung Fu vs TaeKwonDo)
