Do you find comfort in Star Wars?

[stormygleason@hachyderm.io]

@evan no, but I did once "a long time ago in a galaxy far far away"

@evan

no, but... the andor/rogue one storyline was tier one scifi.

@evan

Yes, but no, but yes, but no, but yes ....

@saltywizard but you did not find comfort in it?

@evan

hmmm. i enjoyed it. but, no, i don't believe i was comforted by it. it's a fiction after all.

[ericg@beige.party]

@evan No and I want to ride my bicycle.

[malte@radikal.social]

@evan Yes, but in the same way as comfort food doesn't really nourish me afterwards. I rarely think hopeful thoughts inspired by the Star Wars universe.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@malte did you watch Andor?

[gwcoffey@mastodon.social]

@evan No but I did when I was a kid/20-something. Especially Empire Strikes Back → first act of Jedi. I just really loved Luke's transformation from kid trying to figure himself out to confident hero.

Alas, almost everything from the last act of Jedi to present day that has added to the cannon has made me like it less and less. And now I just don't care about it at all anymore.

@evan I love Murderbot and fond comfort in the dry sense of humor.

[johnocfii@twit.social]

@evan Comfort. Interesting choice. For me, while I enjoy pretty much all the Star Wars stories, thinking back to the pure joy and excitement of seeing the original in theaters way back in 8th grade does bring me great comfort.

[malte@radikal.social]

@evan No, I don't know about it. Did it make you get hopeful thoughts?
