The situation: at work SW came up, guy says he loves SW, I get all excited "finally someone at work to talk the Wars with!" wrong....... He hadn't even seen ROTS ever! Conversation was over, my point I guess is I wish there was a term or saying one could say to determine if u REALY like SW or have just seen it and enjoyed it. Does this ever happen to anyone? _________________ Mara: "Not many people Dare to hug me" Lando: "That leaves more of you for me then!"

Never happened to me. All the other kids at school knows I'm a HUGE Star Wars fan because I always walk around with one of the Expanded Universe books (I know, geeky, huh?) but none of them are actual, real, genuine, hardcore Star Wars fans. Me and a friend of mine who watched TPM in 3D had a brief (like 30 seconds) discussion of how cool it'll be if we had the Force. And that was pretty much it. They all obviously know who Darth Vader is but...um... yeah, that's it. _________________ We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls... ~Heroes, Mika~

As far as I'm concerned, there's no secret exam you have pass to be a Star Wars fan. Instead seeing this as a downer, try to introduce him to the EU or watch ROTS. Just feed his addiction little by little... _________________ Observation: Life would be cooler if everyone spoke like HK-47. Communications Coordinator at EUCantina.

I convinced a guy to buy the Thrawn Trilogy and the first Tales of the Jedi omnibus, because I saw him looking at Legacy of the Force: Betrayal and was all "have you read the rest? That is a good story, but I recommend starting with the basics. This trilogy here is where it all started." _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours.

I'm of the mind that LOTF and FOTJ are not the best spots to jump in if you know nothing of the EU, so I provided a bit of assistance lol. _________________ It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours.

See there was this huge storm yesterday night, and apparently a tree had fallen on the cables. This sucks!! This is also why I don't have any idea what you guys are talking about, since I was stuck without my salvation (for those of you who haven't noticed it's the net)!! Other then that it was a great day! Oh and PS: I found out that in this one store at our mall they sell R2D2 Memory Sticks (flash drives)!!! I am dying and yearning to buy one, but we're going to Egypt in December (long story short, I love Egypt. I'm very excited) so I'm saving up. Still.....I reallllllly want one. Luckily Christmas isn't THAT far away! _________________ To be angry is to be human. All mentors have a way of seeing more of our faults than we would like.

I now can't play my guitar until tomorrow because I need my distortion pedal and I have no 9V batteries. _________________ Hear me now Words I vow No f****** regrets F*** these chains No damn slave I will be different!

JainaSolo Master Joined: 04 Sep 2012 Posts: 507 Location: In front of my laptop! Hmm I really don't know if this is "Good Thing of the Day" or "Gripe of the Day"? Anyway I just finished watching Apollo 18 and man! That has got to be the scariest movie I've EVER seen! My step sister watched like less than five minutes of it and she said it sent a chill up her spine! I later moved into her room with my laptop to watch the rest of the movie! The only thing I'll say is that I'll never look at a rock the same way ever again! Ps:Not even Anaconda was that scary and I faint when I see one outside it's cage! _________________ We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls... ~Heroes, Mika~
