Every kind of communication has a lot more in them than words: how are the words being used, what words are combined in what fashion. Even spelling and punctuation are an important part of every message.
And of course, there is context. In this thread, for example, always is the context of the original posters question. Cultural context applies, too, like your star wars reference which might only be known in specific cultures.
Still, I'm not Erin, I don't read something beyond what you wrote. But what you wrote is more than just words.
Love you!
