Look, I'm not saying all the problems in Star Wars could've been solved by everyone being able to say "I love you" whenever they wanted, but like,,
Romantically, platonically, between family- these emotionally repressed weirdos deserved to express their love for each other during the Big events and the small ones.
Tell me Qui-Gon wouldn't have told Obi-Wan that he loved him.
Look me in the eyes and tell me Obi-Wan telling Anakin at every available moment that he loved him wouldn't have prevented Anakin turning to the dark side.
Tell me it wouldn't have been cathartic as hell to hear Luke tell his newly-redeemed father "I love you".
Hell- Let Poe Dameron tell BB-8 that he loves him!!- Then people around the base pick up the habit of saying it!!
Imagine a world where sentiment wasn't reserved for times of crisis, and was instead given openly and honestly. Isn't that part of the whole thing with hope and the light and whatnot??
Because I know, at least for me, being able to freely tell people that I love them rather than reserving it helped me feel less like I was coveting a rare resource, and more like I was being truthful to those I truly cared about. It doesn't matter if it's reciprocated*, because keeping my people from knowing I love them feels like selfish, cowardly lying.
*Obviously reciprocation is great but I know sometimes people need to learn how to be loved, I'm chill
