so corney, the worst thread ever seen, are you 12yrs old lolz...
my opinion, do not forget this us open forum
it's open to all public, srz, you must learn to grow up, just trying to help you.
Up, I'm honestly surprised -- normally your posts are upbeat and uplifting.
You definitely have a right to your own opinion but here in Singles, it's normal for people to post about their hobbies and interests (check out Lynx's Secret Menu food that's going on right now.) Although there aren't any absolute rules, part of being single is not having anyone to talk to about our hobbies and interests, so we try to encourage that here in this part of the forum.
If you're telling BlessedByGod to grow up, you're going to have to scold a good number of the rest of us as well.
I was a kid when the original Star Wars came out and I still love the original 3 movies (let's not talk about the others -- in fact, let's just forget they exist.)
I can still remember the movie trailer on TV and stopping whatever I was doing when it came on just to watch Luke swing across the screen in awe.
One day, my Dad gathered us kids up and said he was taking us somewhere, but we had to guess where we were going on the way there. The entire trip, all we could think of is that we were going to Grandma's house, because that's really the only place we had been. However, my Dad had other plans.
I can still remember him slowly driving past (what seemed like at the time) the GIANT billboard poster outside with Luke and Leia right on the front. Dumbfounded, we looked up at him as he pointed to it and said, "THAT is where we're going." Our family didn't have much money, but my Dad had saved enough to take us to the theater for the very first time. Back then, there was no such thing as rentals or streaming. If you didn't catch a movie while it was in theaters, it was gone forever, and all you could do was hope to catch the edited version on TV several years later.
My Dad later took us to The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in a similar fashion.
I will always have an emotional connection to the original Star Wars trilogy. I felt a great connection to Luke's character because he was a nobody -- just an orphaned farm boy -- and even as a young child, I treasured that, because I had been an orphan too.
To me, Star Wars isn't about the things most people debate about when the subject comes up.
For me, Star Wars will always represent a father's love for his kids (not just any father, but MY father) and his quiet observation of something that became one of my most prominent childhood memories.
And that is a part of me that will unapologetically never grow up, no matter how much I might be scolded or criticized for that.
BlessedByGod, I've enjoyed this thread very much (it's a whole lot better than the Disney movies), and thank you for posting!
