A very hot unpopular take but a deeply personal one: I know Rise of Skywalker isn& #39;t the most loved Star War on this hellsite but the film did actually nudge me out of a depression that had been stalking me for months. My husband and mum can attest to this. https://twitter.com/controverSW/status/1252586448743776256">https://twitter.com/controver...

I absolutely acknowledge that the film had the opposite effect on many others and, honestly, you have my sympathy (depression sucks). But I& #39;m very glad I got that film right when I needed it, that& #39;s all I& #39;m saying.

I honestly don& #39;t know HOW it did that or why it uplifted me so much, but it did and that& #39;s good enough for me. Similarly, AOTC came at a similarly dark time and gave me the nudge I needed to finish my degree and, well, keep on going. Funny how these things work.

Maybe one day I& #39;ll write about all this in greater depth since this thread was just a random stream of consciousness that came out of nowhere (slow afternoon at work). We& #39;ll see.
