This documentary and the narrator's insights are well-worth your ten minutes, whether you are a Star Wars fan or not. I've always said that Rogue One carries one of the most important messages for our time. It provides a crucial example of our role in this timline for the Light Warriors of my generation. Taken as a metaphor, it is one of the most accurate and compelling illustrations of our marching orders and how we turn the tide.
Some people have said Rogue One is sad because almost all the good characters die.
I think they're looking at it wrong. They didn't die- they sacrificed their lives for the GOOD. In fact, Rogue One is the foundation story of all the other Star Wars stories.
There are no Jedi in Rogue One, and the heroes are flawed, average people. Without the heroes of Rogue One, there would be no Alliance. Most importantly, before Rogue One, the struggle was grim. There was no hope. The redemptive sacrifice of the misfits who took responsibility upon themselves to do what was right, led to birth of HOPE & subsequent victory over overwhelming utter evil.
We live in that decision point time. Our society stands astride the terminator, one foot planted in the light, the other in the dark.
Right now, we're tilting towards the dark, but all we need is a strong push to light and goodness.
I challenge you and you and you.... all of us... WE who stand in the light every day, to make that decision for GOOD. Live for others, be kind. Tilt the weight towards sunrise- throw your shoulder into it!
Governmental agencies, billionaire public personalities, or extraordinary geniuses like Elon Musk are not the folks who are meant to transform the world.
The world shall change by the sacrifice of the few misfits, united in solidarity for the common Good, who still get up despite the challenges, and keep shining their light. We are in the Light, and the Light is in us. Hope is born when responsible initiative culminates in redemptive sacrifice. Solidarité!
