Star Wars is a part of who I am and not just a film for me. It was a way of being. It has been a reminder of how to live my life.
Dude...seriously...you are WAAAAAAAAAAY too wrapped up in this. Don't get me wrong....it's not bad. There are worse things to be so obsessed with than Star Wars...you could be shooting up heroin.
To console you, I will share my feelings on the state of Star Wars....
I chuck the whole SW mess up to this one statement: Lucas is a schmuck who blew the opportunity of a lifetime. His name could have been right up there next to Tolkien as one of the greatest storytellers of the modern age and he blew the whole thing by not putting in the effort it deserved.
Star Wars is the greatest missed opportunity ever.
Disheartening? Yes.
But you know what? There is some storyteller out there right now who is going to learn from Lucas' mistakes and that person is going to create the most wonderous story ever told. I have no idea what it will be, but I'm sure it will be great....and that will be worth waiting for.
