Star Wars gets us, we don& #39;t get it.

IMO saying someone "gets Star Wars" is short sighted. Lots of people get Star Wars in a way different from you. Saying certain people get Star Wars just means tbey with vibe with your view. 1/?
It also puts down other creators unnecessarily. We need to understand that there is breathing room for interpretation in Star Wars.
An area for improvement I think we need in SW community is to give stuff time to breathe, you don& #39;t have to stick to the same opinion you had at first viewing. Actually we need to wait to judge something til we have time to think about.
Whether it& #39;s art, design, characters, plots, etc. Give it some time to breathe. We owe it to the creators, and ourselves, to give it a chance and not jeer right away.
Good intentioned artist, the only type that get hired to do Star Wars, have a method to their choices.
I have fallen into the folly of saying certain people get SW and I wish hadn& #39;t. They told a story that vibed with me in ways others hadn& #39;t. So I& #39;ll take it out of my vocabulary.
I& #39;ll be the first to admit I didn& #39;t fully enjoy TROS when it came out. But now I whole heatedly enjoy it. It takes a while for feeling to form to something, but it grew on me, even though I didn& #39;t think it would.
I had to take some time with the whole ST, but those are the ones I& #39;m more likely to watch at the moment. They are different than the PT and OT.

AND THANK THE MAKER THEY ARE DIFFERENT!

I want my Star Wars to come from a variety of people and be a variety of stories.
I want people who see heroes as villains. I want people to see the good in villains. I want a story that is totally different than what I expected. I never want my predictions to be right. I won& #39;t be hurt when my ideas aren& #39;t even close to what happens.
I& #39;ll end where I started.

Star Wars gets us, we don& #39;t get it.

And we are damn lucky for having it!
