Religious types are using the Star Wars release to proselytize

1. I found the goofy bank notes.

Looks like they did them for the whole cast - Leia, Han Solo, etc. Weirdly enough, I could only find them on an Australian evangelizing web site. For sale, naturally:

I'm puzzled about this whole approach. I know Xianity, at least in the US, often tries to attach itself like a parasite to pop culture phenomena in hopes of nabbing a few more suckers. But I don't see any obvious connection between Star Wars and damnation.

OK, maybe I do. I'd be tempted to hand the bill right back to the con artist and say something like:

"Thanks, don't need it. I already know Jesus and Star Wars are both just myths. But at least George Lucas doesn't demand 10 per cent of my income forever to watch his movies. Or threaten to burn me eternally in hellfire for saying I want to drop-kick an Ewok into the next universe."

ETA: after reading the back of the bank note, they were instantly familiar. "Here is the million-dollar question..." Used to see these as a kid in the Deep South, without the movie tie-in. They were usually passed out by people working for hucksters like Oral Roberts, Garner Ted Armstrong, etc.
