How many times can you tell me you hate me before I believe it?
Am I in an abusive relationship with Star Wars?

  1. Star Wars doesn’t hate you, that’s your subjective perception.

Yes. And perception of reality is not unimportant. One’s perception informs their feelings and decisions, which can affect actual objective events.

  1. Please don’t use the phrase “abusive relationship” to describe something as trivial as a movie.

I’m certain that was tongue in cheek. And it’s not just a movie, it’s an experience. To relegate the experience, the entity that is Star Wars as “just a movie” is to cheapen people’s feelings or desires for it.

chyron8472, if my tongue were any further into my cheek it would rip a hole in it. I just don’t want to put /s

Frink, Apologies for offending you. But did you need to belittle me and my “subjective perception”? It was blatant enough for others to chime in before I could even defend myself.

I admit, I was being hyperbolic. I did, however come away from TLJ (after 3 viewings to try to see what others in this forum saw, including my current detractors!) feeling more than just disappointed, like it was almost physical. I dunno, I’m not smart enough to describe it I guess.

If anyone else was offended by my poor attempt at sarcasm, I’ll retract. I’m here for SW, not a forum battle.
