Star Wars Mansplained

Mansplaining Star Wars to the galaxy, one Padawan at a time. (Featured on the #StarWarsAndSmile Podcast)

A few Star Wars thoughts…

I have loved Star Wars for nearly 5 decades, and I have lived through and experienced the various seasons of it—3 trilogies, online subscriptions, video games, animated series, books, TV series, and Twitter/X (along with the other socials).

Through it all, I tend to maintain a childlike view and am filled with Christmas morning excitement anytime there is a new Star Wars of any kind.

This isn’t to say I don’t—or can’t—find flaws with or have disappointments with the way a story was told, with decisions that were made, music or dialogue choices, or characters that were under or over used. I think I just choose (subconsciously at times) to magnify the joy that comes from Star Wars in its entirety over the smaller in comparison issues with specific parts—or eras—of Star Wars storytelling.

Because of my involvement in the online Star Wars community, I can’t completely go into a new Star War—in this case, The Mandalorian and Grogu, without having some of those voices of contention in the back of my mind. Trying my best to shut off the noise, I immerse myself in the galaxy I love and try to just take in the current story, not as a movie critic, but as a child on Christmas morning who doesn’t have a wish list, but who is just thankful for any gifts that may have my name on them.

If I don’t have a gift under the Star Wars tree this year, I guarantee you someone else does, and I can be happy for their excitement because I have experienced that same feeling many times. In fact, I can put on any of my absolute favorite Star Wars “gifts” any time I’d like and enjoy them again as if it is 1984.

All of this to say, I hate when people don’t feel like they got “their Star Wars,” but I also recognize there is someone for whom this IS theirs. I truly hope everyone gets new Star Wars that has their name on it, but if that doesn’t happen, we already have our own special pieces of the galaxy far, far away, or I wouldn’t even have these thoughts about it all.

Maybe my thoughts aren’t as deep as those for whom Star Wars has lost its way, but maybe Star Wars wasn’t intended to be thought of quite as deeply for its maximum deliverance of enjoyment.

We all love Star Wars or we wouldn’t be here, so let’s recognize we are all family (whether you have a good or bad feeling about this) and at least be able to gather around the dinner table once or twice a year and just celebrate the Force that connects us all.

This is the Way.

Wow! Grogu having a sister was not in my Sabacc cards for this year! I guess it IS like poetry…

Hey, @starwars, I know it’s a lot of yelling, but a lot of “Opposite Day-ing” and “Michael Scotting” stupidity (all done from a deep love of this wonderful galaxy far, far away) was put into these shorts, fake complaining about Star Wars. I’d be honored for you to partake…

In honor and preparation of The Mandalorian and Grogu, here is a fabulous thread of my “THAT’S A MandaLOAD of STAR WARS!” series, featuring an obscene amount of screaming & inaccurate takes of The Mandalorian series…ENJOY!!! 😇

With all the heightened talk about The Acolyte, here are a few of my Star Wars edits from the show, including a farting Monkey Lizard Jedi youngling, Yoda on a toilet, Amandla playing violin before and after Autotune, and a few other high brow “creations”…Enjoy! 💩

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU AND JEANS GUY looks great, but I don’t know why Empire Magazine had to throw so much shade at the Duke of Denim. He is just as much a part of the trio, if not slightly more…

🚨 NO GIRLS ALLOWED IN STAR WARS?!

All I see lately is, “No girls allowed in Star Wars!” 🚫

After much thought & self-reflection, I felt I needed to address the pink Star Wars elephant in the room…

🚨 Star Wars DRAMA ALERT:

Controversial singer, BAD LEPI, has been selected to perform the Mid-Race Show at this year’s BOONTA EVE CLASSIC.

The entire performance will be sung in Lepese, which has many race goers disgruntled.
