Since Jedi is pretty much an official religion among the geek crowd, there is nothing more fitting than to show those darn Christian’s what us true Jedi masters are made of. Check out this Star Wars rendition of The Last Supper.
We’re assuming that Luke is meant to be Jesus and Leah is of course “Magdalene” as the conspiracy nuts will have you believe. Would that mean Darth is Judas? Or could it be that mischievous Wookie, Chewbacca? There was always something funny about him. Kudos for putting Samuel L. Jackson on something religious in nature.

Luke can’t possibly be Christ. Christ was a moral relativist. Luke, like most contemporary “Christians”, was a moral absolutist. Ne’er the twain shall meet.

@Ian: But you have to give the artist this much, Luke is indeed the closest thing to Jesus that Star Wars has.
1.) He left his home one a nomadic voyage for truth.
2.) His father is an all powerful overlord.
3.) Obi-Wan might make a good Jesus, since he does have a tendency to return from the dead as Jesus did, but he was no where as close in age to him as Luke.

If you want the actual spot for Judas, it’d be the Emperor in this image

Errr… Oddly bizarre to choose Luke as the Christ figure.
The Christ figure is without doubt Anakin Skywalker. He was a virgin birth – the only father being the midi-chlorians (and don’t get me started on this, just accept the movie). Could there be any more Gethsemane-like trials than when he is tempted after removing Mace Windu? Finally he is redeemed by the actions of his own personal cross – the fact that he was the cause of the death of his wife and had to battle against his son. Or consider almost the entirity of Eposides IV – VI as his 40-days in the wilderness. Either way, his redemption is what pardons self-confessed “Jedi followers” to follow in his footsteps.
BTW, this scenario makes Obi-Wan a fine John the Baptist
And finally, to Corey, I’m almost certain that the equivalent physical position to Judas is actually Han Solo, which makes the original image all the more worrying. Han’s left hand, which in Leonardo’s original is clutching a bag (of silver?) is dipping below the table. Don’t want to cast aspertions, but the last time we saw this, it was to grab his blaster and blow poor little Greedo away. Now I am worried…
Is it possible to be over analytical?
