Where do I begin? Star Wars is a story where a bunch of unlikely heroes come together to save the universe from an Empire that seeks to destroy it.
Personally, this entire story has given me much in my life. It has taught me so much, from forgiveness, hope, perseverance, resilience, hate, and many other qualities that we humans go through. This story shows that with a little bit of love and hope, you can change the way anyone feels.
I tell this to anyone who would give Star Wars a chance, the storytelling is out of this world, literally. The universe is so rich and expansive that something new comes up with every story written, whether that be through video games, comic books, movies, or even T.V. Series.
The love you feel for each character is different in their way. One character goes by the name of Obi-Wan Kenobi. I relate to him on so many levels because he was a defensive Jedi.
Now you may ask, what is a Jedi? Jedi are peacemakers of the universe, making sure that the wrong hands don’t become in charge. Now the wrong hand is the Sith. They are essentially the opposite of a Jedi.
Where Jedi’s are compassionate, easygoing, and loving the Sith are cruel, dark, and hateful. They get consumed by the dark side of the force and want to put their ill will into the universe.
These two factions have been going at it for a very long time in the Star Wars universe. They always end up fighting because it’s just the way the force wants it to be.
The force is a special thing that all life has but only the ones will very high counts of it or that train in it from a young age can harness it and control it and make it bend to their will, whether that be good or bad.
Besides the storytelling, the characters that are in the story are so iconic that someone who hasn’t watched it may know who these characters are. From Luke Skywalker to Darth Vader, Han Solo, and even a princess whose name is Leia Organa. These characters have taught me so much about life, such as I was saying before.
Another great thing about Star Wars is the incredible soundtrack that was composed by the great John Williams. The main theme of Star Wars is a force to be reckoned with. Not only doesn’t it capture everything there is about Star Wars but it’s also just a killer track.
In recent years Star Wars has been taking a beating, what I mean by this is that many shows have been lackluster but don’t allow that to change your opinion on watching any of it. The good most certainly outweighs the bad.
I couldn’t see myself without this franchise, it’s everything I fantasize about. From being a Jedi to even being able to explore space. The possibilities are endless in this vast galaxy.
