U can watch Star Wars so many times and it doesn’t prepare u for how dumb Star Wars is. For one thing I think we gloss over how kenobi (who has definitely been at the club. Please.) describes the mos eisley cantina as the worst most villainous place ever and then u get inside and it’s a pack of muppets vaping

[ensomniaa]

The Dark Sider corrupting the Light Sider this, the villain seducing the hero that, the Sith showing the Jedi the true power they could achieve bla blah blah bla bla — mediocre, boring, overdone, bland, whatever

The Jedi gently making the Sith see and understand? The hero corrupting the villain in a positive way? The Light being so bright, the Dark Sider can’t look away? The Dark Sider chasing the warmth of the light? Needing its calm? Coming to the realization that they were wrong all along?? What about that?? Huh???

When I met my significant other, I stood in front of the very difficult task to explain my love for Star Wars.

Why do I love people fighting with laser swords and big space ships? Well...

Where do I even start with this?!🥲

I had to remember how I fell in love with Star Wars, because the easiest way to make someone understand your obsession with something, is to tell the story how your obsession begun.

In my previous post I already told you how that happened, but that doesn't necessarily mean that someone else will feel what I did.

So I still had some explaining to do. The most important misinterpretion to correct, was the thesis that Star Wars is just all about Spaceships and fighting with laserswords.

If you ever found yourself wondering how to explain your obsession to someone completely out of the fandom sector, take these five advices to heart.

1. Don't try to explain everything at once. Start with one trilogy and don't get too much into detail. To understand your obsession, it's gonna take some time. Patience Padawan.

2. If they don't get it, that's fine. It works for you, doesn't for them. Eventually they will warm up to it.

3. Try to find something to compare. Maybe they have something they like just as much. Try to find a common ground.

4. Give them the chance to get to know the Fandom for themselves. We don't need to explain everything. The movies often speak for themselves.

5. Just have fun, your partner doesn't inherently needs to understand your obsession, they just need to accept it.

You just know you're deep into a Fandom when you go about your day and sometimes wish you'd be living a life in this Fandom instead.

At points in my life that were inherently stressful or difficult for me, I liked to imagine living in the gffa. Going as far as actually writing stories about it with a dear friend.

There are so many different scenarios a mind can come up with and it's a beautiful way to escape reality for a bit.

You may loose yourself in your imagination. So it's important to not loose sight of reality when you do this.

The battle of Mustafar was the reason I watched Star Wars. I wanted to know how this happened. I needed to know the events that led to this.

About a week later I was fully engrossed by the love story of Anakin and Padmé, the friendship of Obi-Wan and Anakin. Needless to say that the death of the jedi order nearly killed me as well.

I was unable to watch Episode four, unable to just move on to the next trilogy. So I got into fanfiction for a while, until I was finally able to take the next step and watch the originals as well.

Those left me with less heartache, hence the happy ending of Episode six. I loved the new trio of Luke, Leia and Han. They didn't replace Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padmé, but rather took a place next to them in my heart.

Watching Disney's new adaption of a trilogy, was like a huge travel into the future. I have to admit the cinematic effects were way ahead from those of the originals, but the story and some characters just didn't warm up to me.

I kinda liked Rey and Kylo. Poe was the character I probably liked the most. What I didn't enjoy as much was their adaption of the original trio. Their deaths hurt me the most.

Through the movies I eventually warmed up to Reylo a bit, so Ben's death really wrecked me up in the end. The trilogy was alright, but in comparison my least favorite.

But why am I telling all this? After I watched all of the movies I felt like standing in front of an abyss of unknown possibilities. What would come next?

I just had all those trilogies behind me, what would come now? I already was into fanfiction, so I thought of so many possible shippings and plots I wanted to read.

In the end this lead me to AO3. And there a whole new world waited for me. I read the most beautiful story's there. I read almost day and night, 24/7. Whereever I was, those stories followed me everywhere.

I got to meet the most talented writers and it was an amazing experience. I'm thankful to this day.

And I think today is the time where a long haired jedi arrives at my home and takes me to a galaxy far,far away. I don't know why but #starwarsiscomingbacktome

On any given day, we generally see Luke Skywalker make four to a hundred New Friends, but we’re supposed to believe that he went thirty years and reduced his Friend Count to zero.

And they expected people to buy that.
