I could ask my parents but I’m afraid it was a German collection of short stories

Star Wars started as a metaphor for the Vietnam war (with the US as the bad guys). In The Force has always been a lot of philosophy. Just because you didn’t get it as a kid, doesn’t mean it was silly.
And I say that as a trekkie who never really liked Star Wars but I see why people do and can appreciate it
You make it sound so arbitrary.
Everything that comes in the first third of your life/fandom is normal, how things should be, how they always were.
The second third is new and exciting.
The third third is the downfall of the franchise, not worthy of the name.The length of these “thirds” can vary but that’s the gist of it.
Interesting. Good for you you skipped the toxic stuff

Syllables can vary in length. Japanese has very short syllables while English has rather long ones. Counting phonemes would make more sense
So I assume you went from Twitter to mastodon?

No, the bullet will stop them
If 275 is half of 550, then what is half of 275?

When people don’t learn roman numerals at school anymore…
It’s 10, plain and simple
Because the more you look for reasons, the realize there is none and that’s depressing
Because people who always ask “why” don’t achieve anything. Did you get nothing out of the story above?
As a kid, I had a book about a kid always asking “why?” and at some point, aliens came to conquer the earth. While everybody was freaked out, the kid just continued asking “why?”. “To exploit earth’s resources” “to conquer other words” “to exploit their resources too” “to conquer other galaxies” “to further our rule” “to conquer… well I see now that it’s all meaningless and we go home now.”
This is a story every child should read and don’t ask me why, it just is.
