Yeah. So this brings up one of my favorite studies that I did inspired by research in the feminist body image literature. In 1980, there was a famous study of the Barbie doll that found that the Barbie doll was a real life human female. Her dimensions would be completely unrealistic. Yeah. I remember. So we were like, well, what's the analogy to boys and men that we can look at this?

their dimensions would be unrealistic without the use of steroids. Now, what was striking in that study is we looked at, this was in the late 90s, whereas the Star Wars movies were digitally remastered and put back out in the movie theaters. Oh, I remember. Yeah, I saw them in theaters.

Yeah, and they re-released the action figure lines. And we got a 1970s action figure of Luke Skywalker and the 1998 action figure. And it's totally different. I mean, the new Luke Skywalker action figure had his robe open, his very defined pectoral muscles, smaller waist. more defined legs.

And now we're talking about an action figure that's based on the same character that somehow was, you know, manipulated to sort of be a lot more muscular. So there is this trend and I'm not suggesting, you know, because again, it's all correlational that watching these movies is going to develop body dysmorphia and whatnot. And at the same time, we can't underestimate the,
