Her dog looks like Chewbacca, and so she has a couple toys, but is adamant in not watching the film. Should I break up with her?

    I introduced my wife to Star Wars a few years back. She went from “i’m not that interested” to 30 minutes into A New Hope saying “ok, I get why you love this so much” to crying during every season of Rebels which she sought out and watched by herself.

    Just convince her to watch one movie together with you. The rest will happen on it’s own.

      Or not.

      I’m a lifelong SW fan, and when my wife and I first started dating we watched the OG trilogy on her suggestion because she knew I really liked them. She had never seen them, and only saw one or two of the prequel movies growing up.

      She liked them well enough, and she will sometimes still watch a movie or catch some of the D+ episodes with me – but overall she never really became an all-out fan.

      Some of our interests and hobbies overlap and some of them are completely separate. Never been a big deal, and I think it’s a good thing in some ways. We can still support each other in our separate interests without being super into them ourselves etc.
