Set Sails for Bluer Skies and Warmer Waters

"I'll always encourage the reckless texts confessing your feelings. The kind where you throw your phone after hitting send.
I'll always encourage the horribly straightforward conversations at 3am when conversations get deep and you can't always put how you feel into words.
I'll always encourage you to say the things that make your heart beat fast and your legs shake.
Because I know how alive you feel when you feel something for someone else."

I *want* to hear, and listen to you, and tell you all those things that sit on the edge of our tongues waiting for the breath to give them life. Send me your messages. Talk in my ear. Cry on my shoulder. Sit there and listen to me rant about Star Wars so you don't have to think for a few minutes or hours. Come sit in silence with me. Let me go sit with you in silence. I've lost too many people in my life for any and every reason and I don't want to lose anymore because they hurt.

Do Star Wars Droids Dream of Force Lightning?

This is a theory about the consciousness of droids in the Star Wars universe and how most biological creatures of higher intelligence regularly dismiss, ignore, or wholly undermine the autonomy of droids. However, on multiple occasions we see droids ignoring orders, altering orders, and exercising independent judgement. The most concrete example comes from Episode IV: A New Hope when C-3PO and R2-D2 decide to split up in the desert rather than following hardwired programming. I also believe that they fall under the influence of the force and may have force sensitivity but lack the ability to actually manipulate the force. But, as Obi-Wan told Luke on the Millennium Falcon, the force moves through, surrounds, and touches every living thing.
