Is the jedi force anything similar to God? Personal opinion? Nope. It's nothing alike. Perhaps only in that anyone could access it if they do enough soul-searching. But God is much more than what we see in Star Wars, for a few key reasons.
1) We were created in his likeness (Genesis 1:26-28)
2) There's only one mediator between God and man, that is Jesus Christ (1st Timothy 2:5)
3) When Paul is giving charges to Timothy in 2nd Timothy 3:10-17, he says we have scripture because it's from God. Therefore, God is an immortal being. Something that actually exists. The jedi force is "everything"? That seems like a very naturalistic.
4) What happens when I die? You dissolve into the force, and become a small part of everything. Until you come back to guide your apprentice. Uhuh. *gazes skeptically.*
Now, I'm a Star Wars fan! I enjoy it. It makes me grit my teeth when people compare it to God though.
Another cool starwars fact: Yoda's sentence structure is Latin. What I've learned in CC the past year is this:
If you said in Latin "I'm in love with the girl and I enjoy spending time with her"
You'd word it this way: "With the girl I am in love, and with the girl I spend time and enjoy."
