@Eamonproductions-yg5jc5 years agoStar Wars is the greatest thing in the world. It’s changed my life and is such a huge part of who I am. I’m sad to have to say goodbye but I will love this saga until the day I die. “Don’t cry because it’s over smile because it happened” ...185

@krisbeal81735 years agoChicago was my first Celebration and it made me feel like I was 4 years old again on my way to watch Star Wars way back in 77. I just couldn't stop smiling and being all giddy. Thank you all for an amazing time that I will never, ever forget! ...24
@
@hannaheverafter5 years agoHonestly I'd like to see any other fandom live as long and stay as strong as Star Wars has. I mean, Harry Potter came out in 1997, and even it's popularity has gone down. Harry Potter has only been around for 22 years, and Star Wars has been around for 42 years. I love Harry Potter, but it will NEVER live up to Star Wars. Star Wars is irreplaceable, and I hope it's legacy lives on forever. ...125
