I’ll be honest, I have never watched a single Star Wars movie. Growing up, I was more interested in the TARDIS than the Millennium Falcon — not that the two fandoms are mutually exclusive, but I missed the Star Wars train and watched as it chugged away.Still, much like anyone who is even remotely tuned-in to pop culture, Luke Skywalker, stormtroopers, and “May the Force be with you,” somehow still made their way into my latent lexicon. Such is the power of the Star Wars fandom.

I love Star Wars because of its message of finding family. In all the movies, the protagonists struggle with who they are and how to accomplish their missions, but because of the friendships and bonds they make with others, they are always triumphant in the end.Interviews have been edited for length and clarity.*Name has been changed for privacy.
