Chat corner 28: All Saints Day

[annathecrow]

Welcome to this week’s chat corner!

Optional prompt

In my corner of the world it’s All Saints Day today, so I thought I’d diverge from our regular scheduled programming a little.

We celebrate All Saints by a somber rememberance of the dead. We go clean the graves, light up candles; the weather is almost always dreary, for peak melancholy mood.

So, for this week, I propose talking about the dead and gone of Star Wars. Interpret as you will. Maybe there’s a character death that stayed with you, either because it was poignant or because it enraged you so much. Maybe there’s a character lost to the canon reset that you don’t expect ever getting back into canon.

And maybe the people you miss aren’t imaginary. Family. Friends, even the ones who are still alive, just not friends anymore. Or hey, maybe you miss Carrie Fisher.

Lets light a candle.🕯️

Hmm, I ought to look some up, I don't think I've ever heard one! I'm only culturally Christian, not religious, so my experience is sort of spotty :D

"For All The Saints" is probably the best-known and most popular one. I also like one called "Sing With All The Saints In Glory."

And I recently learned a song (more targeted at younger kids) called "I Sing A Song Of The Saints Of God" which is a little too over-the-top cutesy for me, but just in terms of the weird specificity of the language used it makes a nice change of pace. :p
