Star Wars has been an important part of my life since 1977. It was the last movie that my brother and I saw together and one of the few that we both became obsessed with immediately. I had Star Wars sheets, a Darth Vadar doll and had a big crush on Luke Skywalker.
Although my crush didn't last more than a few years, I have been a fan of the series for the past five decades. I saw the subsequent movies in theaters, got excited for the prequels, watched the finals three movies as well as along with the offshoots, Solo and Rogue One. I even watched all of the Star Wars based television series that Disney+ came up with over the past few years and anxiously await the new Mandalorian and Grogu movie coming out on the big screen this month.
I am glad that my love of Star Wars carried over to my children. They may not all match my level of enthusiasm for it, but each has seen the movies and know enough to be able to answer my question "Who is your favorite character in Star Wars, and is this person the best hero in the series?" Thankfully, two of them had the "correct" answer right away saying Obi-Wan and yes. Cameron got a pass as he had a good argument with Obi-Wan as favorite character and Luke as the best hero. Brett, however, even got a head shaking response from Doug when he said that "Qui Gon was his hero and Darth Plagius the Wise was his favorite character." I almost kicked him out of the group chat for that answer, but then I remembered that he was the one who just sold his At-At Walker for over a $100 on eBay. Who am I to argue with his opinion after that.
