I introduced my wife to Star Wars a few years back. She went from "i'm not that interested" to 30 minutes into A New Hope saying "ok, I get why you love this so much" to crying during every season of Rebels which she sought out and watched by herself.
Just convince her to watch one movie together with you. The rest will happen on it's own.
Or not.
I'm a lifelong SW fan, and when my wife and I first started dating we watched the OG trilogy on her suggestion because she knew I really liked them. She had never seen them, and only saw one or two of the prequel movies growing up.
She liked them well enough, and she will sometimes still watch a movie or catch some of the D+ episodes with me -- but overall she never really became an all-out fan.
Some of our interests and hobbies overlap and some of them are completely separate. Never been a big deal, and I think it's a good thing in some ways. We can still support each other in our separate interests without being super into them ourselves etc.
Some people just don’t have any interest in it, it’s okay. You can’t force her to do anything and if it’s not something she decides she wants to do then she straight up won’t enjoy it.
I have however showed it to people who have never seen it and got great enjoyment watching their preconceived notions melt away right before my eyes, and by the trench run they’re on the edge of their seat. Then it’s really fun to answer their question at the end because I’m known as the “expert” lol
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!!
My wife didn't really care until we started The Mandalorian. Grogu is what got her hooked.
