You feel pride when your son brings home his art porfolio from school and it is all Star Wars based!

...you bother a poor fellow by asking him endless questions about how to make a certain Luke Skywalker costume

 

...you name your tail-less Manx cat Anakin, and get a kick everytime you tell people he lost his tail in a lightsaber battle on Mustafar.

 

... you buy your kid a Star Wars video game so you can play it while he is at school...

 

..you can argue the validity of keeping your toys in the package rather than taking thm out and playing with them.

 

...you spend months searching for a vintage kenner RotJ Luke in the pack, and spend all the money you have on it

...you prefer Kenner over Hasbro

 

You wonder if you could fashion an old beer keg, some rusty scalpels, a trickle charger, a used syringe and a fan motor into an Imperial IT-O Interrogator Droid.
