Perhaps take a look at the news and see what constitutes real problems people are facing in the world…? Get some perspective. That’s not meant to be snarky, but there is an element of concern here.

It’s just a piece of entertainment, nothing more, enjoyable & well-loved though it is. Fandom seems to have taken an unhealthy turn over the past decade or so, people really are taking way too much time out of their own lives to immerse themselves in details about fake ones. There’s almost a hierarchy of fandom developed since the explosion of forums and blogs, with all the class wars one gets in the real world. It’s unhealthy.

Lile what you like, and to hell with any other opinion! You know you’re a fan 😉

I’m constantly worried that other people (whether they are in person, or online) will accuse me of not being a “true” Star Wars fan. I’m literally falling apart with this problem, and I don’t know what to do as a someone surrounded by more traditional fans.
