Hey Brian, was great to meet you all at Celebration on the Droidbuilders stand. (I was the chap who crossed over the display to chat while you were in the queue waiting) I often get asked why do I make droids. Usually I give the answer 'why not?' But really it's because I like seeing people turn into little kids and have big cheesy grins when they meet R2 or Chopper or BB8. And I caused that, I made that person's day by building my droids. So I think you're right, it's not just a movie. It's built an entire community and dare I say family? That all join together on this love of the story.

I want share my story about Starwars movies and this marvellous universe with you dear Brian ! I was only twenty years old when " New Hope " was in the movie theaters in France . With my father and my sister we were astonishing by all this first movie ! And during (?) all my life I was going on to see every new movie where I was in the world ( I was a professionnal wild life and animals photographer) . I know the big fans had liked more the first trilogy than the two others but not me ! Every movie was like an epic dream putting me in the heart of story of love, honor and friendship. So every movie take exactly the same place in my heart. Today my father is dead and he had never seen the last movie, my sister is a joyfull grandmother. I am a french old woman - 66 years old - liking always ALL the Starwars movies, series and animes ! They make feel younger and happier ! So dear Brian, dear Carrissa may the fourth and the Force be with you ! Because as to me, to you also Starwars is a family story. Best wishes from France to the old Junkyard jedi.

What a heart-felt and eloquent way to put something so meaningful and impactful into words. I think there is a point at which these stories and the world(s) in which they dwell, in our minds and in the media we consume, break the boundaries of fiction, of "just" stories. And those boundaries are broken by the passion, the creativity, and the love showed and shared by those who appreciate it. Thank you for summing this up so well. We are Star Wars indeed. May the Fourth (and the Force) be with you, and with you all. :)

Brian, this gives me goosebumps! My answer isn't simple... Star Wars was the first movie have seen. I was about 4 or just 5 yrs old, and it went so deep into me... later every film was a happening for my mom and me. I was in a Star Wars Marathon with my girlfriend in the early 90s. Later I was facinated by the idea of "the force" and this helped me through some tough phases of my life... But always, there was the joy - joy of the ideas, the fun, the costumes, the people. I started building my own R2, got my Jedi Cosplay, learned about sewing, met other "nerds". We did some charity events and we love talking about Star Wars. We discuss about Star Wars, and be sure, we are not always on the same side of the force. But it is always about Star Wars!

To me, Star Wars is a world I love to get lost in because of the creativity within the world building. You can get some amazing concepts from in universe building, and it makes me want to be a part of it just to be there. I love creating stories in the world of sci-fi. And because of the nature of sci-fi, the sky is the limit. This isn't strictly Star Wars but more sci-fi in general.

The “Why” is easy for me. I stood in line for half a day, a full year after Star Wars was released (1978) to see the film for the first time and I wanted to move into that universe and never go home. Almost twenty years later I was able to take my daughter to see episode one on opening day and she felt that same sense of wonder. Now, forty-five years later I have a third generation of fans to share my love for SW with. 😀

Star Wars for me is about hope. My mother fell ill around the time ESB was released in 1980. Me, my older brother and my younger sister were left abandoned and alone in another state. The state placed us in a foster home and all I wanted was to go back home to my own bed. I was 8 years old. After what seemed like forever, but was probably more like 5 or 6 days, they connected with our father who came and picked us up. In those days, there were no cell phones and answering machines didn't exist. My father had been traversing the region trying to track us down and eventually through law enforcement, the connection was made. During part of the process of getting us back from the state, he was allowed to let us go watch a movie and that movie was ESB. Up until then, New Hope was my favorite movie of course. To this day, such a dark story that could leave one with despair was a true comfort to me. It was normalcy in the eye of the hurricane. I love my fellow SW brothers and sisters and the stories we share because to me, it's an extension of that hope I needed so desperately in some of the darkest hours of my life.

It's not just a movie. It's an immersive escape across multiple forms of media. A movie is to be viewed, a book is to be read, music can be listened to and a game can be played. But Star Wars is about catharsis. I'm not an outside observer of that universe- I'm an active participant.

Because of Star Wars and channels like this one, I have been able to overcome lots of my mental health issues and and branch out. Building a Mandalorian Kit and I am going to try to join the MMCC. When you say we are SW you're not kidding. Never thought so much inspiration and openness to accept and guide someone along like I have experienced could exist in such an exacting and sometimes snobbish fandom., let alone the internet. Finding way more than that. Life long friends. And my kit may or may not ever become approved, and that's ok. The journey is the best part. Mat the 4th be with you, this is the MAY. #vourkeez

Why Star Wars? Because for me, when I first saw it as a child, I was growing up autistic and the youngest of three and thus having a very difficult time at both home and (particularly) school and it wowed me, then inspired, nourished and comforted me through the rest of my formative years, all the while sparking my creative imagination until that spark became a fire. And now as an adult, I also get that same joy and excitement it also brought me as a child. STAR WARS FOREVER!

My R2 made his first public appearance yesterday and the simple question I wasn’t prepared for is “why?”. I was all prepared for the,”how did you do this… or why did you do that…, but the simple question of “why?” was the hardest to answer. After thinking about it, for me, it was the people. Star Wars brings complete strangers together to talk about something they are passionate about. You can disagree about different movies or stories, but at the end, you love the universe. I had the pleasure of meeting an older married couple that came to the library just to see my R2. They told me with a glow in their eyes that their very first date was in 1977 and they went to see Star Wars in the theater. Hearing stories like this is the ‘why?’.

Star Wars is escapism. It's good triumphing over evil. It's about redemption from whatever darkness that has taken you over. It's about family whether blood related or not. It's about the dream of becoming something or part of something bigger than yourself. It's about the freedom to be that bigger someone or something. It's about being yourself, whatever that is. May the force be with you.
