“Which way should I go?” – Luke, to Yoda, in Star Wars Forces of Destiny’s "The Path Ahead"

I was 18, on the cusp of my last year as a teenager when this little space fantasy I had heard about hit theaters in 1977. At first, I wasn’t sure if I’d go see the film – mostly because it was touted as a sci-fi movie. Truth be told, that really wasn’t my cup of tea back then.

The course of our discussion took us down the path of musing about change and how open to it people are. About 35 years my...Star Wars News & Info
I am well aware that each of us has our individual list of favorite characters from the Star Wars Galaxy. We might like the same character for the same reasons – or even for vastly different reasons.
