Star Wars on hope, fear and a much needed New Year
Star Wars is all about conquering fear. Naming it. Facing it. It's the destiny of a Jedi after all. This episode is a reflection on fear, attachment and the search for hope beyond 2020. It's okay if you don't feel hope. This year has been hard.
But nevertheless, "hope is like the sun...if you only believe in it when you see it, you'll never make it through the night."
Happy New Years everyone. May the Force be with you.
