    We’ve already lost a ton of media from 30+ years ago due to lack of preservation and obsolete formats. Are there going to be VHS players in 50 years? DVD drives? Ways to play video formats that are now common? How about the impact of streaming and lack of physical media? What about in 300 years? Is such technology guaranteed to survive potential cataclysmic wars?

      Yeah, ton of obsolete media. If there’s lack of preservation, there’s probably a reason for it.

      I daresay there’s enough copies of Star Wars that they’ll found on hard drives for the unforeseeable future, and even if they weren’t, the story isn’t lost.

      I’m sure all the original copies of the Odyssey have long since perished, but I still heard about Odysseus and the Trojan War growing up.

      Literally the entire world is aware of Star Wars, more or less.
