《星球大戰》的隱藏信息-D

D: Jabba Desilijic Tiure / 土豪惡覇

賈巴(Jabba)是 Nal Hutta 星球上的土豪惡覇,他招攬犯罪分子無惡不作,獨覇一方。這種角色有典型的自大性格,是一些極權領袖的寫照;他們擁有財富和勢力就不可一世,不斷為自己積聚更多的財富。

人的生命並不在乎家道豐厚,耶穌說了一個故事:有一個財主田產豐盛,要把倉房拆了,另蓋更大的去收藏一切的糧食和財物。他自鳴得意,對自己的靈魂說:「靈魂哪,你有許多財物積存,可作多年的費用,只管安安逸逸的吃喝快樂吧!」(路12:19)豈知那夜他的靈魂就被神取去。

其實故事裡的財主,不是上帝把他的靈魂奪走,卻是沉重的財寶把他埋葬了。只懂為自己增添利益的人,會不知不覺失去生命,這是很多現代人的哀歌。

D: Jabba Desilijic Tiure

Jabba was the crime lord of the notorious desert on the planet of Nal Hutta. He was known for his various illegal activities and cruelties. This type of tyrant character is usually arrogant, mean and an example of extreme dictatorship. Tyrants tend to keep accumulating wealth and power even though these may not last.

Life is not just about being wealthy. Jesus once told a story about a rich man who had a good harvest. He then decided to tear down his barns to build bigger ones in order to store more grains and goods. The rich man proudly said to his soul, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.” (Luke 12:19) However, that very night his life was taken from him.

It was not God who took away the rich man”s life. It was the weight of his riches (and pride) that buried him. Those only focus on accumulate wealth in their own self interest will eventually lose their life in the process. Sadly, this is the fate of many in this modern age.
