Star Wars is a great common ground to have with people you’re meeting for the first time. Let’s say you’re at a new job, meeting your new coworkers. You might be searching for something to talk about during lunch that isn’t work. But you don’t root for any of the same sports teams, you’re from different towns, and there’s nothing remarkable about the weather that day. You may be racking your brain for something, anything that you can say to foster a moment of connection.
You take a chance and ask if they’ve seen Andor. Bingo. They have. Now you are off to the races about the fact that you liked season 2 better than season 1 though you have a feeling that the 3rd season will be the best yet. You’re having a wonderful time, and yet you’ve barely scratched the surface. There is so much more Star Wars content for you to talk about. A new friend is acquired.
