Question

I discovered Star Wars recently and I feel like my dad and brother don't believe I'm a real fan since I started out late. How can I prove to them that I love Star Wars?

AdorableSWChibi

Community Answer

Your dad and brother are wrong if they think you can't be a Star Wars fan. Anyone who likes Star Wars enough can be a true fan. Work hard to show your love for Star Wars by talking about it and being enthusiastic when someone mentions it. Believe me, this will help more than you know.

Question

I have watched all of the Star Wars movies, but I don't think I know enough about the story line yet. What else can I watch/read/do to get more involved in the story?

Community Answer

You should definitely read the "Based off film" novels -- they explain the story in great depth. You could also read the comic books.

Question

Is it wise to read the Star Wars novels before watching the movies?

Pennywise the dabbing clown

Community Answer

You probably won't understand the novels very well without having seen any of the movies, but you can read some novels first if you want to. In this case, the books came after the movies, not before.

Question

Should I watch the Clone Wars and Rebels shows? Will they affect the movies or other shows in any way?

Ash

Community Answer

The Clone Wars series will help you get a better perspective on the events that occurred during the Clone Wars era. It gives the story of the 501st Legion (mainly) and the 212 Attack Battalion, so this will help as both of those legions and battalions were in the Revenge of the Sith movie. Rebels explains how the Rebellion came to be. In short, I believe you should. It will help your understanding of the movies.
