   Study the overarching philosophy of the Star Wars franchise. There are quite a few important lessons and messages in the Star Wars films that most Star Wars fans are aware of. Consider the following themes as you’re watching the films to help you develop a better appreciation for the philosophy of the series:

Most often, the evil characters get what they deserve, and the good characters are victorious. Bear in mind that Star Wars also shows that the concept of good and evil isn't quite so black and white. ^[18]
   • Destiny . No matter how much the characters in Star Wars resist, they always end up fulfilling their destiny, whether it leads them down the path toward good or down the path toward evil.
   • The power of friendship . In Star Wars, friendships save the day, and working together with people you care about it is a strong weapon against evil. ^[19]
