Now, I know this post will probably get thumbed down into oblivion but here goes nothing.I'll come right out and say it. I absolutely love Star Wars. I'm a life-long fan. I love all the films, all the games (at least the ones I've played anyway), I love it all. I can't get enough of it. I'm always excited and enthusiastic for the release of new Star Wars content and I'm just always happy and at peace when I'm watching one of the films or playing one of the games. I'm proud to be a Star Wars fan and I've always felt that if someone else is also a fan, we'll get along just fine.But then whenever I log onto a Star Wars related site, I just find myself disappointed at the way a lot of fans treat eachother. I understand that not all fans are going to go about being a fan the way I do and that's fine. But It's almost heartbreaking to see fans acting so condescending, snarky, salty, bitter, cynical, vicious, and sometimes just downright mean-spirited towards eachother. There's always so much spite and argument just because we all have conflicting opinions about the Saga.I know, I know, "Welcome to the internet. Welcome to Reddit." But it doesn't have to be this way. We're all here for one reason: We all love Star Wars. Isn't that enough? Most of us saw these films as children and we fell in love with that Galaxy Far Far Away. Now here we all are, brought together because of it. There's no reason for us to belittle and drag eachother down.I guess all I'm asking is for my fellow fans to be a little more decent, rational, and civilized towards eachother because we all share the same love for this universe that's so near and dear to us. I know it sounds cringey but can't we all just get along?I said it before. I love Star Wars. So, I guess by extension, I love you all too.May the Force Be With You... Always. via /r/StarWars http://ift.tt/2CiNeDM
