Star Wars - the liturgical timing of
We've written previously about the the liturgical wisdom of Star Wars film release dates (Wars - Pentecost).
And now, with a new Star Wars film looming, it seems like a good time to take a look at the new film and see if the pattern holds.
| Film and year | US Release Date | Day of Pentecost | Pentecost is |
|---|---|---|---|
| Episode IV (1977) | 25 May | 29 May | 4 days after |
| Episode V (1980) | 21 May | 25 May | 4 days after |
| Episode VI (1983) | 25 May | 22 May | 3 days before |
| Episode I (1999) | 19 May | 23 May | 4 days after |
| Episode II (2002) | 16 May | 19 May | 3 days after |
| Episode III (2005) | 19 May | 15 May | 4 days before |
| Episode VII (2015) | 18 December | 24 May | 208 days prior |
Hmm. One of these things is not like the other.
Actually, Pentecost of 2016 is closer to the Episode VII's 2015 release date. It's only 149 days afterward. But still, I don't see the significance of that number either.
Perhaps it's time for a new table?
| Film and year | US Release Date | O Antiphon |
|---|---|---|
| Episode VII (2015) | 18 December | O Adonai |
That's better.
