Christian leader says Star Wars not "a long time ago" | The Daily Week

Rev. John Towers of Raysville, Kentucky is up in arms against the movie Star Wars, claiming that the film is contrary to the teachings of the Bible.
The minister's anger is directed at the film's famous opening words - "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away".
"This is a lie foisted on the credulous masses by scientists at Industrial Light and Magic," says Towers. "It did not happen a long time ago. According to Scripture, the events in Star Wars occurred in the early 1930s."
Towers, pastor of the 3,000 member Jesus Is Lord Evangelical Assembly Church of the Jedi, has spent thirty years painstakingly connecting the events in the six Star Wars films with those in the Bible.
