Star Wars is Convoluted; Whatever Words #2

Yes, even though it is a holiday, Labor Day, the blog shall go on. Normally, I would do this earlier in the day, but since it’s a holiday I decided to treat myself. 

We took the cats outside. Aiko enjoys it, content with the harness/vest, she is definitely an out-doors cat. Lika…not so much. I took her out on the balcony, closed the door, and she immediately wanted to go back in—just straight panic mode. Foolishly, I carried her out the front door and as fate would have it, the neighbor living right across from us came out at the same time. Lika, again, immediately starts to panic, scratching my face just a tad. Nothing serious, she was just moving around in my arms trying to get closer to the door and away from the stranger. The neighbor has done nothing wrong to Lika, she’s just afraid of anyone she has no clue about. It will be a slow process, but I do plan to get her used to the outside. I will wait till it gets cooler, so I will join her outside to get her comfortable.

Funny enough, I have been playing a Star Wars video game. Even funnier, it’s the one that came out last year. While everyone is playing the new Outlaws, I’m playing Survivor. It does make me want to play a D&D Star Wars campaign again. I’m not even that into Star Wars, especially with how the fandom is nowadays; just straight toxic, at least the vocal ones. Playing as a Jedi is fun, you’re literally a superhuman with a powerful beating stick. It’s funny to think about Lightsabers, because just like the Keyblade, they’re not really sharp weapons. The Keyblade is a straight up blunt weapon, while the Lightsaber is an energy beam. My fighting stances in Survivor are the cross-hilt and dual-wield. I was going to keep the single option, but I already did that in the first game and I should change it up. Usually, I stick with default options, but since this is my second time trying to beat the game, lets have some fun with it.

I’m taking a trip soon to visit my parents and more importantly, Noki. My parents are still important to me, Noki is just right above them. I plan to visit him every day, bringing boba straw wrappers with me because they’re his favorite toy. Part of me is worried that he won’t remember me. I believe he will…but a part still worries what if he doesn’t. Will he be happy to see me because I am a person who will give him attention, or because he remembers who I am and misses me? I will definitely let you guys know after the visit, which will take place in a couple of weeks.

It’s funny, because I’m sitting here trying to find out what I should write. I had a rant about Star Wars, but I deleted it because the lore is so complex on force-sensitivity, who can use the force and who can’t, and I no longer felt comfortable putting it out without the research. Well, I did do some research now, but it still feels like more research will need to be done to confirm the new information learned that apparently anyone can use the force now? The old belief was that only those born lucky could do it, but apparently they just have an easier time. Technically, anyone can, the force is in everything. I saw a Reddit post asking and nine years ago, people were saying you had to be born with it. Now, with the new Ahsoka show, apparently those who weren’t born lucky just have to do some extra training? That sounds cool that anyone can use the Force, but now it feels like they’re retconning the belief so that literally any character can now be shown using the Force. I don’t mind if this was originally planned, but it really doesn’t feel like it? I don’t know and I don’t really care anymore. I ended up doing another rant thing about it because, sure, let my thoughts out there.

Star Wars is convoluted.

I said it. I’m not taking it back. You can enjoy it, but you have to admit that it’s hard to keep up with the lore. Trust me, I know convoluted, I’m a Kingdom Hearts fan.
