I am trying to convince my girlfriend to watch Star Wars. (lemmy.world)

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?

If this is sarcastic, absolutely lol

If this is legit and no sarcasm, I never recommend breaking up online. We don't have enough info. However it's important to share interest. She should want to experience things you are into and vice versa. If she doesn't want to see star wars but takes an interest in other things you are passionate about, that's fair. If she doesn't want to step out of her comfort zone at all.... Well that's a problem.

I was being sarcastic... mostly. I really love this answer though, and these are wise words to live by. I could cut her some slack I think. Maybe I can use it as a "get out of jail free card" when there is something I really don't want to do. May the Schwartz be with you!!

Never underestimate the power of the schwartz

Personally I don't understand why she wouldn't want to watch Star Wars with you. I have seen some people say "I haven't watched star wars" and hold it as a pride thing, like they're better than others because they don't "partake" in something as popular as star wars. (Those people are.... not fun to hang out with btw, and not because they don't watch star wars. It's because they're tools.)

Maybe she truly doesn't like action movies? Have met some people like that too, and while I'd say action is second in the movie, eh maybe?

But maybe she does other things with you that you have shown her. Cars, travel, puzzles, idk. But if she only wants to do things she wants to do, that's a red flag for sure.
