Ive been asking myself this question over the past few days - what does Star Wars mean to you??
To me, its been there since it all started in th 70's. It bought me hours of happiness throuout my childhood, and kept me going as i was growing up. Took a break from around 89-91 as girls, music and playing guitar took over. After rekindling my love for it in the early 90's i found myself buying POTF2,Bendems and then i started on the heavy gear again :lol:
It was also with me through marriage, kids and then divorce. There were times when i felt so low that just having it there kept me sane. It kept me company for many long nights and days, illness and other happenings. Between the years of 2003-2006 i actually relied on Star Wars and the pull of it was so strong that it put me off making potentially catastrophic decisions and i think it saved me in many ways.
Of course, now im happily married again but still have periods when i feel down, but my family and Star Wars get me through it. Just having the films on hand, the toys and other things i collect there when i want to hold them makes all the difference. It really does help to heal issues over time, and i thank god for letting me live it all the way from the start.
There have been times when Star Wars has caused me to become irate,annoyed and defensive to the point where i was just being nasty. However, i realise these mistakes and now take a much more accepting view to everyone else and dont let my mouth take over.
So what does Star Wars mean to you?
