I think geek is a better

I think geek is a better word to describe us Star Wars' fans than nerd.

When I think of nerd, I think of the movies.

Yeah, I thought that was

Yeah, I thought that was pretty great. I’m no hata, but if they really wanted to show true neediness, the show would have Chuck using his own dialect of Klingon.

Speaking of Nerdy. Did

Speaking of Nerdy.
Did anyone see "Chuck" last week were the pivotal plot turn revolved around Chuck being able to speak Klingon.

Now that's True Pinnacle of Nerdy.

I actually have a tremendous respect for Star Wars nerds. I like the movies and all, but I’ve never used BBY in casual conversation. As a Lord of the Rings fanatic, though, I know all about geeky compulsions and casually slipping references into everyday talk.

Well, I did go to two Star Wars Conventions - both in Indianapolis before Episodes II and III came out - so the Force is strong with me.

However, I missed the 30-year convention in Los Angeles last spring. I have no excuse for missing it either, so I'm not going to say I tried to make it but couldn't.

As Master Yoda says:
"Do or do not. There is no try."

Wow, there is another true

Wow, there is another true Star Wars afficionado (sp?) here. Love it. You even knew about Darth Plageuis the Wise and the BBY (Born before the battle of Yavin) Nice.

In response to the example: Don’t be a hata just because I make my stuffing from a box!

Stick with me my young

Stick with me my young Padawan Learner and I'll teach you - and your beloved Twins - the ways of The Force.

Just remember:
There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no death; there is The Force.

Excellent point. Your Star

Excellent point. Your Star Wars skills are ill, and you possess mad knowledge of interstellar history.

Hey, Vader ended up doing

Tom Schardin — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 17:47:37 -0600

Hey, Vader ended up doing the right thing in "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi."

It's the Emperor - known as Darth Sidious -that was the HATER. Then again, can you really expect someone not to be a HATER when you are from the homeworld planet of Naboo and you were trained to be a HATER by the evil Darth Plageuis?

Sidious, born 82 years BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), never really had a chance.

Come on people, it's common knowledge.

Darth Vader is my fave

I'm a total HATER when it comes to someone HATING on Lexus drivers.

I'm not a HATER. I feel I

I'm not a HATER. I feel I have a some very valid reasons for disliking all Lexus drivers.
