#sometimes u understand stuff a certain way because your reference horizon doesn't include the necessary information for you to get it right

one of the best things about getting into star wars in the year of 2023 is that when i faced with the question "but what ARE the jedi?" my mind just goes "it's a cultivation sect. it is literally functions as a cultivation sect, the dark side is similar to demonic cultivation and the Force is just like the Qi. end of story".

meanwhile when I read posts about the jedi there a lot of people who compare them to Catholics and I'm like :/ dudes. I'm so sorry you've never been exposed to wuxia/xianxia stories in which cultivation sects get wiped out all the time not because they were bad but because some fucking asshole couldn't stand them

#star wars #the beauty of being a svsss fan #i've been thinking about this for a while #it's really interesting how they way you perceive things is shaped by your knowledge of the world #sometimes u understand stuff a certain way because your reference horizon doesn't include the necessary information for you to get it right
