A Chapter ends and a New one Begins
Star Wars has always been a constant in my life. It is the only Series where despite all its flaws, I cant help but be optimistic. With most other things I'm a fan of such as Harry Potter, Transforms, My little pony(Yes, I'm a brony. Fight me.) Rick and Morty, Samurai Jack, Dragon Ball, Yugioh, anything to do with DC or Marvel etc., I’m more pessimistic. I don't know what it is about Star Wars but I cant help but feel happy.
I grew up watching Star Wars Clone Wars(2003) and Star War the Clone Wars(2008). But I stopped watching it shows like this when I got older thinking I was too big for them.
Star Wars Rebels came out when I was Seventeen, a Junior in High School, during a hard period of my life. I was diagnosed with depression, anxiety and PTSD. So when Rebels came out I fell in love with Star Wars all over again. It made me feel like a little like my self again.
Fats forward and I'm Twenty-One now. There has been a lot of mile stones in my life. Some good and some bad. I found my first pay check to pay check job and I've worked there for a year now. I’ve made many friends, reconnected with family and some relationships have become strained. My nieces where born and sadly I lost my father to a heart attack.
By the time Rebels ends a new chapter will open up for me. My sister and her family is coming back. My Sister, Brother-in-law and myself are going back to school. This Show has given me confidence to write and explore with my art skills. It gave me the confidence to finally start my youtube review channel.
It will be strange when the show end because I know their are people like @countessofkrownest and @nay-evigilata grew up with it. For those like @amaximinalist who have gain some opportunities while others like @eyeloch wonder about how their tumblr will be effected. For many the end of the Show will mark the end of a chapter in their lives but giving what we’ve seen with other forms of media, I don't think we’ll say goodbye to many of these characters yet.
Times are scary right now weather it be a personal matter or a public matter. I know @countessofkrownest and @nay-evigilata are worry for their futures as they enter into their final months of school.
Star Wars Rebels was a simple story, that I believe it reminded us of hope and compassion. I will take what I've learned from Rebels and go forth in many new chapters of life with little more hope. I would like for others to see this and share how Rebels has had impact on their lives.
