    She never said that. Might be time to break out the Prequels!

    I'm nowhere near desperate or curious enough to put myself through that again.

    Maybe I misheard. After 20 years on airplanes my ears aren't what they used to be. And the first time I saw RotS I had just flown a long mission.

    Thank the maker comes to mind. Although I guess he is talking about Anakin.

    It isn’t in the script, so I suspect it came from the comic writer.

    It's too bad George didn't get hold of a copy before they recorded JEJ.

    If you have watched the movies at all, you would soon have found out that the highest power in the SW universe is "the FORCE", so no all-powerful "god" there. Besides, it would also depend on the species. The Ewoks for example may worship some sort of deity (or maybe only gold protocol droids? [face_laugh]), others may have their own religions. The standard highest power, at least for the majority, however is still the Force.

    And one person in that list (along with others from here) have been mentioned in an official SW publication:

    Amazon UK .

    Do a 'Look Inside' and go to the bottom of the acknowledgement section to see who we are...

    You and @Sinrebirth are both higher in the acknowledgements than Lucas himself. Impressive, most impressive.

    I was able to get my copy of the book signed as well - author Jason Fry was at the last London Celebration and signed it for me.

    I think we’re in the Atlas and the Warfare guide, aren’t we, LAJ?

    Nice. I take it the authors were on JCF at some point-Are they still on? Also, is there a newer edition out there, the 2008/2009 version seems to be the newest. I ask because I need to add that to my collection.

    Jason Fry posts here - he has an author thread in Lit. And Adam Christopher occasionally posts in his upcoming Sith book thread in Lit.

    In TPM, Padmé does say, "I pray you will bring compassion and sanity back to the Senate."

    But it has more of a generic feel to it, like a sincere hope - rather than in relation to communicating with a specific deity.

    Yes, C-3P0.

    But really the Force.

    Also, I think it’s worth noting that Anakin didn’t build Threepio. He rebuilt him, although I doubt he had any memory of his time before Anakin. But he does tell him, “You are my Maker and I wish you well”, so I think it’s safe to say Anakin is his Maker from his point of view, at least until his memory is wiped, although I get the impression that he sees him as something sort of in between a parent and a deity.

    Maybe in EU, but I have not come across it. The Force is everything from what I know about Star Wars.

    IIRC, somebody mentioned praying in the Obi-Wan TV show.
    I think it was one of the Organas, after Leia was kidnapped, but I don't remember clearly.
    Did anybody else notice that?

    We also had God speed in TLJ.

    Canonically, I imagine it's the Father.

    Or, it was.

    One of the scout troopers at the beginning of The Mandalorian Chapter 8 says "Oh my god".
    Catarine Towani says "Oh god" in Caravan of Courage.
    Multiple Battle Droids mention a god in TCW.
    Two characters use "God speed" in TLJ.

    So yeah, one or more gods are mentioned in Star Wars, but it could be several different religions being referenced.

    Threepio also mentioned the Maker.

    But we found that was Anakin but I presume there was an original deity in most religions.

    I truly doubt the Father is the origin of all things.

    He is one of the Mortis Gods after all.
