Before engaging in the creation of the Star Wars saga, he had a traffic accident in which he almost lost his life. When he was on the verge of death, Lucas left her and eventually would influence when creating this film franchise to seek express the benevolent side of people. "This side that always accompany and save you from all evil" here will denominate like The Force in the Jedi (knights fighting for the good of all), they represented initially the Guardians of good I always want to fight evil.
On the other hand, death, fear, hatred ... It represented the Sith, evil guardians who represent the many obstacles in life that always seek to destroy the good and try to master everything you can, just for power.
These films like all its directors want to express them experiences of their lives, living feelings etc.
The people who perform professional film critics, believe that Lucas is identified with Anakin Skywalker, whom many stories attributed to this character.
Apart from the above, some critics and fans of the series have seen parallels and elements of multiple religions and philosophies. In particular, it is remarkable comparison with the Christian religion and philosophies or Eastern religions such as Taoism, Zen Buddhism, among others. Anakin Skywalker is called "The Chosen" with a messianic connotation; birth and work is predicted well in advance and the Force he has exceptional power.
In addition, it is intended to end the evil, embodied in the Sith. Taoism takes the impersonal and almost indefinable concept of the Force, very similar to the concept of Tao. Also, the principle of non-action may have parallels in Zero Form and in the training given to the Jedi to avoid violence and confrontation, which methods should be used only a last resort. Also, Eastern philosophies takes the role of guru or teacher guides, here I would be played by Yoda.
The parallels with multiple philosophies are endless and Lucas has agreed to be inspired by different religions and ways of seeing life, particularly the Christian religion.
Obviously, these parallels are many and debatable, since many aspects of these philosophies obviously do not correspond one to one with the saga and some correspondences can be only in the minds of fans and not George Lucas.
