Starwars fans

2,293 200 December 30, 2024 at 06:42 PM
I wonder if there are any anti-war people that are Star Wars fans. I certainly do not want any wars; I do not want them to be necessary. I do not understand why there are very many fans of Star Wars. Are all Star Wars fans warmongers?

I am not trying to make trouble except to make it clear that Star Wars is about war. Or do I misunderstand something?

Have you seen Star Wars, OP? Did you come away with the impression that it's a positive depiction of war?

I am commenting on the contradiction when people protest war that is a defensive necessity yet they are Star Wars fans. Perhaps there are no people like that. It is not about my opinion of the movies.

Ah. I think this is a fantastically reductive viewpoint on a piece of entertainment media that's generally referred to as "space opera".

What I do not understand is why people are not protesting the fact that it is about war; war is in the title. If the stories are good without war then they should make them without war.

It's not "about" war. It's about the Skywalkers.
