I tend to get obsessive over things. I know this and I admit it easily. Anything that interests me just the slightest bit I get obsessed with. I couldn't count both hands the number of things that I have obsessed about in the last year. My obsessions come and go (never do they go forever though) but one has pretty much remained consistent. And that's Star Wars.

After Revenge came out I felt a little empty. Like I had completed something and I couldn't go back. I'm not really sure what it was but I felt like I was done with it. I could move on. I thought about how much money and time I have spent on it and it just seemed silly. The last month or so I haven't really giving Star Wars much thought.

This weekend came and as I looked at the movies playing (like I do every weekend) I saw that the only movie coming out this weekend was The Dukes of Hazard. Disappointed I realized that I had absolutory nothing to do this weekend. Just about that time I saw that Revenge of the Sith was playing at only one place now. I got to thinking about how this was my last chance to see a new Star Wars movie at the theater. "Might as well" I thought. So I got in my car and left for the movie.

I realized as I drove home for seeing it that this will be the last "summer of Star Wars". Sure I may get to see the movies in the theater again sometime but I will never get to see a new movie. This is it (as far as the movies go) and it made me a little sad. I began thinking about all of the memories, the people I have met and the experiences that Star Wars have brought me. I couldn't help but smile.

Many people have asked why I liked Star Wars so much. And to be honest I never could really answers that question. Normally I would just make up some half assed answers on the spot that (to me) didn't really sound that believable or genuine. After last night though I realized that the answer was much simpler than I ever couldn't have imagined. It makes me happy. That's it! I mean sure there are other reasons but really when it comes down to it that's pretty much it. Every single time I see "A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away" I get excited and a smile sneaks onto my face.

And when I say every single time I really do mean EVERY single time.
