You Know You Are a Star Wars Geek When...

I think there was a simular thread to this WAY back...

but i am sitting here listening to the station that plays movie soundtracks...and the song The Rebel Fleet/End Titles of ESB comes on..and ya get all excited. I am like OK i am a BIG dork.

so next...

 

we've started one young, when it's on Spike, he watches it, and last night he found the SW cards that Zoom got for his birthday that play the music, and every time it finished, he would bring it to me to start it again.

 

now that is cute...and yes about the Spike thing...i TiVo'd and saved them. DOH!

 

DORK!

Hey, I can't say much, you know your a Star Wars dork when you think about Star Wars and thinking about your next RPing move in a STAR WARS game once an hour or more.

I am such a dork...

Yeah baby...and proud of it!

 

you read the new Jedi Vs Sith Essential Guide to the Force marveling how you basically wrote it yourself 6 years ago for an online RPG and grumping about how everyone changed it after you were done because it didn't let them get away with what they wanted to.

 

You're watching TV with a group of civilian (i.e. NON-Star Wars) friends, and when a Star Wars reference is made, EVERYONE turns and looks at you...

 

You know you're a Star Wars geek when you write lists about how much of a Star Wars geek you are... geeks.

You know you're a Star Wars geek when you build and paint Star Destroyers such as the Errant Venture and other(s) from the story lines of online RPGs...

 

You correct any civilian who mixes up Star Trek and Star Wars references in conversation...and become offended when they don't care that they are totally different!!

 

You know you're a Star Wars geek when you love the Star Wars video games, but complain about how inaccurate they are, how much is left out, or how cool it would be if they'd just included <insert scenario/story/character/ship/weapon from comic book/novel>.

 

You are going through files and you run across JED Enterprises and you swear it said Jedi.

 

You know you are a star wars geek when your dad (who is a trekkie like mine) says that there ships are better, then you bring up a size comparison chart and show them that The Star Destory is 1606 meterslong and that the Enterprise is 289 meters long and also you make the commet about that the star trek ships are for peace keeping not war, that is why the star destory has ION cannons, not those little wimpy flashlights that the Star trek ships have...

Happened way too many times in my family... i wish i could post the picture of that here...

You know it's hopeless when some one mentions "running to the store" and you automatically are interested only by the fact it presents an opportunity to check out the toy aisle for new releases.

Or, as in my case, if you ever see any sort of star wars reference in public or on TV, you squeal and/or get extremely giddy towards the source. Which usually leads to awkward situations 90% of the time. Haha!

 

You know your a geek when you get all excited about RPing online (I just about blew through the Library doors a few days ago) or when you hear about Star Wars on TV or in a group of people, you automaticlly float in that direction and join in the converstation...wheather you were invited to or not.

Or the best one is when you get all prideful when you hear about Star Wars on TV or in person and start bragging about. I do that all the time at every job I've ever worked out...maybe except one or two, maybe.

 

...you spend 20 minutes listening to ringtones for phones because they have Darth Vaders saying "Answer your phone, it is your destiny" and Yoda telling you that "Mmm, an incoming call you have, answer it quickly you should"

 

It takes a great deal of thought and effort to remember the original lyrics to Lola or American Pie and even when you hear the songs the Weird Al versions of the lyrics are what comes out of your mouth when singing along.

 

you can explain the inner workings and theory behind how a lightsaber works in great detail.

 

You know you are a Star Wars Geek when........

People at work run up to you to tell you soandso likes SW too!!!! (and of course you co-worker already told soandso about you).

 

You post on an Internet message board called Rock Mountain Fan Force, meet monthly, and make a costume (not necessarily) for a parade.

Oh wait...

 

Busted.

 

I will most likely be yelled and possibly banned for this part....

You Know your a Star Wars geek when you look at one of the Star Wars models, and go that will make a nice hell Talon(for Warhammer40k)... but first you got to put the model together and play with it... then when your done play with it, you got to rip some of it apart to make the Hell Talon... it doesn't look half bad so far, almost done with this too...

You take care of a 1/2 scale X-wing.
