Don't think he is really supposed to be a Jew. He is just a general med/levantine/arab/Middle Eastern kind of stereotype of a merchant. His business actually doesn't really fit Jewish stereotypes. Think more like a Turk or Lebanese or Persian or something.


But Ferengi are 100% Jews. Which is funny because they were created, written, and played pretty much exclusively by Jews. Harshest Jewish caricature I've ever seen in sci-fi or fantasy.

isn't Lucas Jewish

No. George Lucas is not Jewish nor was his family in recent generations. He was raised Methodist but got a lot of inspiration from Buddhism and considers himself "Buddhist Methodist".
