May the Fourth be with you

I recently saw a social media thread by someone who saw his first ever film from a famous franchise. It was Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. He wrote that he film was great, but he couldn't make sense of it. Some time later he caught up with the full suite of films and understood that one great film in its context. How much are we missing by dipping into individual stories from the Bible, whilst missing the overarching story?
