Was it really worth it for millions of people the world over to devote an obscene amount of their short lifespans on this Earth making it their religion even deep into their adult years?

Most normal people know Star Wars is for kids. It's only the terminally online losers who obsess over it after reaching adulthood

Name one act of terrorism committed in the name of Star Wars.

>>218298877
We're encoded to worship but people with IQs above 90 figured out that actual religion are bullshit. Star Wars/comics/other lore heavy media slop fills that biological need.

does breaking the australian census for like 40 years count?
It's a meme in Australia to write Jedi as your religion to fuck the census, why does the gov need to know your religion, fuck'em.
But to be fair, that's not actual worship of star wars like OP is meaning, it's just larrakinism.

An extremely ugly, hate-filled franchise that appeals to extremely ugly, hate-filled people. Best to just stay away from it altogether.
>>
>>218299146
This. Lord of the Rings or even Harry Potter is a much better media franchise to consume. Star Wars is the epitome of juvenile American crap.
>What if, uhhhh, medieval fantasy but in LE SPACE??? OH MY HECK
Nonsense.

Case in what point, fucking imbecile? Can't say anything to the loser cunts in this site without them being obsessed with doubling-down.

>>218299358
Observe the schizophrenic fury of the average Star Wars fan. With little to no provocation, it unleashes a snarling, vicious torrent of unbridled hate.

Why are they like this? A good question, for another time.

No. And those who did regret it.

>I have been offered a movie which I may accept, if they come up with proper money. London and North Africa, starting in mid March. Science fiction, which gives me pause, but is to be directed by Paul (sic) Lucas, who did American Graffiti (1973). Big part. Fairy-tale rubbish, but could be interesting perhaps.

>New rubbish dialogue reaches me every other day on wadges of pink paper, and none of it makes my character clear or even bearable. I just think, thankfully, of the lovely bread, which will help me keep going until next April. I must off to studio and work with a dwarf (very sweet, and he has to wash in a bidet) and your fellow countrymen Mark Hamill and Tennyson (that can't be right) Ford. Ellison (? - No!), well, a rangy, languid young man who is probably intelligent and amusing. But Oh, God, God, they make me feel ninety, and treat me as if I was one hundred six.

>I shrivel inside each time it is mentioned. 20 years ago, it had a freshness, a sense of moral good and fun. Then I began to be uneasy at the influence it might be having. The bad penny first dropped in San Francisco when a sweet-faced boy of twelve told me proudly he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times. His elegant mother nodded with approval. Looking into the boys eyes I thought I detected little star-shells of madness beginning to form and I guess that one day they would explode. 'I would love for you to do something for me,' I said. "Anything! Anything!' the boy said rapturously. 'You won't like what I'm going to ask you to do.' I said. 'Anything, sir, anything!' 'Well,' I said, 'do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?' He bursts into tears. His mother drew herself up to an immense height. 'What a dreadful thing to say to a child!' she barked, and dragged the poor kid away. Maybe she was right but I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities.

>A couple of weeks ago, in a Chinese restaurant, the dapper little Chinese maître D bowed low as I left and, full of Chinese smiles, said, `Sir Guin, now that Star Wars is being shown again you will be famous once more.' Oh, to be Ernest Thesiger.

>Last Sunday, as Mass was finishing, a young man leaned over my shoulder and said, `My pop is a great fan of Star Wars. Will you say hello to him as you leave the church?'
>I asked where his father was.
>`At the back in a wheelchair,' he said.
>The priest gave his blessing and the ritual words, `The Mass is over, go in peace.'
>`Thanks be to God,' we chorused back, the young man adding, `And can I have your autograph?'
>`Not here,' I replied rather crossly.
>At the back of the church, sitting in a wheelchair, was a large, middle-aged, genial-looking man. I went up to him all smiles, like a baby-kissing politician, and exuding the sweet benevolence of a hospital-visiting princess. I took him warmly by the hand and made one or two fatuous inquiries. He suddenly said the dreaded words — `Star Wars!'
>`Ugh — hugh -uh -ha -hm,' I said, but I kept up my smile.
>`Obi-Wan Kenobi,' he nodded at me and, for good measure, `May the Force be with you.'
>`And also with you,' I replied, to ecclesiastical merriment.
>` The Man in the White Suit; that was you, wasn't it?'
>`Yes, about forty-five years ago,' I replied, with a sense of relief that we might have reached saner ground; anyway terra firma. Then his face became grave and he said, `Darth Vader.'
>I backed away as quickly as possible, sketched him a valedictory wave of the hand and stumbled down the church steps into fresh air and morning sunlight. The young man pursued me. `The autograph,' he said, quite politely. But that was suddenly too much for me. `Not in front of the parishioners,' I said. Then I disappeared.

What a fucking loser. Motherfucker, you play pretend for a living. One make-believe is not better than the other. What an utterly repugnant piece of shit human being. Should've gotten a real job if he was so embarrassed of his fake one. Let me guess, he would love Star Wars if it was about white genocide and gay porn? Man, the "creative" (loser degenerates) class are the scum of life.

You are that lad and you want so badly not to be that lad which is why you repeat the stupid cope of a useless person with a fake job hating the very fruits of his fake labour. You are that person and you hate it. Either own up to liking fiction (as Guiness should've) and shut the fuck up and don't burden us with your insanity.

Let me guess, Guiness wouldn't feel too smart if I told him his whole life's "calling" and all his post WWII-beliefs and politics were as real as Star Wars. Fucking cunt, kill yourself.

That's what I tell people-what is the real difference between playing "Grandson's Best Friend" in "I'm Fucking My Grandson's Best Friend Vol 6" and playing Hamlet in "Hamlet"? They're both make believe, both leading roles

It wasn’t specifically in the name of Star Wars, but Timothy McVeigh did compare his bombing of the Murrah building to the destruction of the Death Star when he was asked to address the civilian death toll.

it's really surreal seeing Star Wars and Star Trek dorks prior to the early 90s carbohydrate apocalypse
look up pics from the first Star Trek convention in the early 70s
imagine total dorks but everyone is at a healthy BMI and your brain doesn't know how to process it

you live in delusion. even just the refusal to acknowledge the old lucasarts games like battlefront 1/2 and republic commando shows you’re just a close-minded retard who doesn’t deserve to even discuss this. OTfags/RLM watchers are a fucking cancer.
