When was the last time you sat for a Star Wars marathon?

For me, it's definitely been too long. I've been really busy lately, so there's not much time to spend watching movies. FYI, I've been wanting to throw a Star Wars watch party with my friends for ages now. Can you believe some of them have never seen Star Wars? Yes, those people exist out there.

It's amazing that at this point, Star Wars has become so big and so widely known that there are not many people who don't know it exists. Some have never actually sat to watch the whole saga, or even one of the movies, but they definitely know it's out there. They've heard Darth Vader's name; they know Luke Skywalker, Anakin, and Princess Leia. They know Natalie Portman was in the prequels, and that there are hundreds of movies, shows, video games, etcetera. There's no hiding from the Star Wars Galaxy at this point.

Some people feel bothered when something that was supposed to be niche becomes more widely known. Like "We were here first, you lot are just posers" or whatever it is that they say. My opinion? Let people just enjoy things! Liking something is not a trend, especially when that something has been around since the seventies… Yeah, the universe has expanded since it first came out, but that's the fun of everything! Different movies and TV shows are aimed at new audiences, and that way, more people get to the original movies, and new fans show up every day! Be honest, isn't it great when somebody starts asking a bunch of questions, and you can finally show off all those years of Star Wars knowledge you've been keeping to yourself? Yeah, I thought so. I promise, it's way easier, and you'll live a happier life if you enjoy what you like and let other people enjoy it too. Being a fan is not a competition; it's something to have fun about. And you know what else is fun? Memes! Especially when they're about a saga and characters we love. So take this meme list, laugh about it, and share it with your friends, no matter if they're old fans or new fans.
