Hello, let me introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old man, I grew up in south east London in the UK. And I would just like to express the fact that I think the idea of Star Wars is my greatest passion in life, like I'm sure a lot of you here. It has always been a massive constant in my life.Like a lot of us here, I was introduced to Star Wars at a young age (by my Dad specifically). At the time it was one of the first films I had ever seen that I could understand vaguely what was going on, that being episode 4. When I look back, I think my initial thoughts upon watching, were that every film must be like this. But as I have grown into adulthood, and still am, no piece of fiction has reached the has reached the level of meaning as much to me as Star Wars does. I genuinely love that this world has evolved to a point where any science fiction trope could potentially exist. I find that so exciting.I attended my first SW Celebration this year in London, and for the first time, I knew that there were 100s, 1,000s, 1,000,000s, if not billions of people who shared my adoration. And in that I saw something beautiful, and almost euphoric. Because for the first time I could relate to a massive group of people, and I feel common ground is the best way to form human relations.I always think back to George Lucas professing the idea that these films were always intended for young people, and they always should be. They taught me lessons about good and evil. morals, the importance of family and keeping the good people in your life close. They have given me what I feel is an accurate depiction of how the human mind can change dramatically for better or for worse due to circumstance, and further to that thought me that IT IS NEVER... I REPEAT... NEVER too late to make a change for the better.Maybe no one will read ever this post, and that's fine, but I just wanted to put my thoughts out there and potentially start a conversation, because there are few people in my personal life that appreciate this universe as much as I feel I do and always will. I would feel wrong if I never said this stuff to anyone and I think this is a good place to do it.Please feel free to start a convo in the comments if your up for it, and we can all have a chat about why we love this world so much. :)All the best,A human with a common interestPS - May the force always be with youEDIT - I'm very aware that none of these thoughts are original, but is any thought ever original anyway? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/l6rEXnp
