Even though I'm older than you, there's not actually a ton of children in my life. Lots of friends chose the no kids route (me included), my nephews are still too young to have interests past the ABCs (and I've got those DOWN already), so the only kid really in my sphere is my best friend's 7 yo who lives in a different country (or different continent, if you subscribe to the idea that the Americas are three separate continents instead of one big continent with area denomination names just for the sake of clarity) so we have limited contact. BUT TRUST ME when I say I WISH he was into Star Wars (cause Harrison Ford is hot, and because I am a nerd) or Legos (Not a brickhead but would you like me to tell how I planned a whole vacation around one tiktok I saw about the MiniChef restaurant? Well, it'll be on my newsletter eventually) or even WWI (cause I also don't know anything about it.. so it'd be culture...).. No... The 7yo in my life is obsessed with ants. And I spent a whole week trip to Disney World discussing ants on every line we were waiting on and every restaurant we stop to eat at and every place we walked to, and of course he saw I was the easy mark who could not ignore a child since she has not learned boundaries....

Anyway... you did ask.

I came to star wars as an adult, and generally, I have found them to be Very Fun, but not something I'm like, DEEP into? But one of the things I love about it is that for me, like lord of the rings, I can be super into the aesthetic and the weird side stories and nothing else! Like, am I a superfan, no, but did I go to the star wars hotel disney did and cry like a baby at what a beautifully cathartic experience it was? Also yes!
