Desperately wanting to write some angst stuff (or at least something different) I spawned this…
All star wars characters copyright GL. You da man Mr. GL. Keep making the movies; we'll keep watching them.
Quickie little author note: flame me if you wish. This applies to star wars, but it also applies to LotR, to anime, and to any other story ever written. I think I speak for everyone when I say entertainment is important. And especially in times of crisis, we remember a simpler era reflected in our writings. It's the way I feel, and if you have a problem with that, go ahead an express it.
But I think you'll agree, that somewhere along the line, in any great crisis of human faith, there have been stories to guide us…to keep us laughing, to keep us humble, and to help us remember who we truly are beneath our skin.
Title: In a Galaxy far, Far, away…
Writing style: Uh, a little bit of poetry, and some bit of speculation.
Timeframe: no real timeframe, considering stuff…
Characters: all the star wars characters are present…
Idea: Reflecting on what Star wars, and stories like Star wars mean to us.
Question: What if you were aware of something totally new?
----------------------------------------------
In times of sorrow
You were there
Your ideals were simple
You thoughts were common
In times of sorrow
You were strong
We watched
We were amazed at what we had spawned.
We came again and again
Desperate
Longing
Needing to see you, in some small way.
You are more then what you appear
More then you could ever perceive
For there are thousands of you
Standing over us, watching in the background
We live
In our daily existence
We suffer, but through you
We find peace of mind
For a brief moment, in an endless galaxy
In a darkened movie theater
In a 2-hour time frame.
So while we search
For our own star adventures
We take heart
From you and yours.
The things we could say
To thank you
The things that you have helped us believe in
Have made us strong.
In our world
You are always there
Watching from the background
Hiding in the mind
And in our world
You are always welcome.

In a different plane of existence, some unknown force suddenly eased every suffering creature in the world dubbed Star Wars by the planet earth.
For a fraction of a milli-second, every problem was forgotten and each being that lived and died looked up, and gradually perceived something greater then them all.
And in that perceiving knew that they were cared for, and watched, and that even if they died they would live on in the minds of beings who they had never met…
The moment passed.
Harsh chaos and light returned…
But in a Galaxy, far, far away, everyone had a moment of being one with the force.
