so this older couple was in front of us at walmart and they were buying like six star wars lego sets (and im talking the big expensive ones) and my mom said “someone must like star wars” and the lady got so excited and they started talking about how much they love the movies and how they both saw the original when it was in theaters and how the love for star wars is on its third generation in their family and it turns out the couple were buying all those sets for themselves to do together and like
this is what star wars is. its supposed to be fun and exciting and light up your face at any age. its not supposed to be a dark, gritty game of thrones style re-imagining for dudes that still think theyre oppressed for being nerds. when they left the lady said to us “may the force be with you” and it was so sweet and it reminded me of why i love star wars
