When the above article was first published online, the abstract included some text in error. This has now been corrected in both the online and print versions as follows:
‘This paper examines how pop culture commentators, rabbis, bloggers, and others use “inverted midrash” [Zierler, Wendy. Movies and Midrash: Popular Film and Jewish Religious Conversation. Albany: State University of New York Press, 2017. I follow Zierler’s use of the term “inverted midrash” to refer to the singular midrash as well as to a body of material (personal correspondence September 10, 2019)] to comment on the implicit Jewish dimensions of Star Wars movies.’
has been amended to:
‘This paper examines how pop culture commentators, rabbis, bloggers, and others create commentaries on the implicit Jewish dimensions of Star Wars movies.’
