This is exactly the thought exercise I do. Both parents were teens as they watched the countries of Europe fall or go dark, both sent hither and yon with the military while my grandparents did what needed to be done, with no promise of success. The only way out is through. Keep Calm and Carry On.

I’ve seen them all and grew up near Disneyland, with many, many fond memories of both, but I’m not a super fan (i.e., I would quickly fail at Star Wars trivia). I do love, though, seeing people find such unabashed joy in fan communities. Fuzzy costumes plus incisive commentary!👍👍

I lost my dad in 2010 and, the more time that passes, the more I feel his presence with me and hear his voice in my ear, in the best of ways. I think an AI sim would have disrupted that gift. The body of him is gone but our relationship continues, and has grown as my understanding of life grows.
