I would like to clarify that it could be anything, a song, a still shot, a line, whatever. Star Wars has a lot of beautiful aspects to it, and I am very interested to hear what yours is!

The stuff I've written below is, honestly a long train of thought and basically how it influenced me to making this post, so feel free to skip it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Recently, my mom was watching a YouTube video of someone analyzing a piece of music, which was said by the analyzer to be "The most beautiful song I know.", and me liking analyses listened in, and alas, what I heard was by my perception, beautiful. This got me thinking on what defines beauty, and I quickly answered myself "It's really just subjective.". The next day (the day which I am writing this, I was yet again, listening to music and while I did, I was thinking to myself that I found it to be one of the most beautiful songs I knew, but then I realized something incredibly odd, that I not only felt the music's beauty, I felt a slight presence of sadness. I had no idea why, because I hadn't expected me to feel such a 'negative' emotion with such a wonderful piece of music. I then examined other things that I found beautiful, and yet again, I believe I felt an aura of sadness. I discovered that I have an entire playlist of songs that I firstly thought were very sad and 'emotional' as I would describe it, but secondly, I realized that I also thought they were very pretty songs in themselves. Not only that, but they are my favorite songs at the moment, which only increased my bewilderment. I knew something was definitely up, and I wanted answers: Why do I find sadness in beautiful things? For some, when they witness something overwhelmingly edifying to them, they may cry, a usual sign of sadness, but are considered to be "tears of joy", rather than of sadness. However, that isn't what I feel, at least, that's not what I think I feel. Is it possible that I find sad things... beautiful? I can't think of a time where I found something beautiful and didn't feel sadness, but the sunset I'm thinking of, wasn't sad, was it? But is it to me? Is, somehow, that sunset sad to me? There wasn't anything sad about it, there didn't seem to be, yet, not all things that I find sad, I simultaneously consider beautiful. I think beautiful things carry a solemness to them. When you find something incredibly beautiful, you don't get excited like you would during a sports game or something similar. This could just be me personally, of course, but I just sit and experience it, for all that it is, of course, I can break out of that and make some snarky remark if need be to defer any indication of me experiencing something deeply, which for some odd reason I don't want to show to others. In my family, I'm an absolute goofball, and while I am, I also feel things very very deeply. I don't know if I just don't realize it or not, but I think it may be more than others. For instance, the first thing in Star Wars that comes to mind when thinking of beautiful things is Kanan shielding and protecting Hera and Ezra from harm, something that I felt deeply, but didn't want to show any inkling of while re-watching with my mom. I'm not saying I felt like crying, but I am just so engrossed by what I am witnessing that I just kind of sit in silence for a time with my thoughts. Like all the other examples I've listed so far, I felt sad while witnessing it, for somewhat obvious reasons, but interestingly, I don't care for Kanan as a character, I was just in awe of the spectacle and his sacrifice.

My mom's single action of clicking on that YouTube video as well as a few other things that referred me back to the idea of beauty, led me to make this very post, because I am very interested as to what others think is beautiful in their own eyes, from their own point of view, in Star Wars.

I would like to add that if any mod who is reading this thinks that it is of topic, I give my full permission to: "Do what must be done. Do not hesitate, show no mercy." and do whatever you think is best for this community. I understand if I've overstepped my line. Adding to that: If anyone has any off topic questions for me regarding what I've just said above, they may do so by contact me through my email, which I will provide here: theancientskies@gmail.com or my Discord: Infantry#7244, I don't want to fill the discussion below, which should be about Star Wars, instead, about anything I've said, unless you find some correlation between you can what comes to mind when thinking about Star Wars and beauty.
