You know you are obsessed with Star Wars when.....

Basicaly as the topic says. What have you done that shows how obsessed with Star Wars you are?

When you ONLY pre-order Karen Traviss' next book 6 months in advance...
When you curse youself daily for not putting more effort into learning mando'a...
When you started trying to translate the mando'a in Triple Zero as you read it, before finishing and finding thye translations at the end in the appendix...

You know you're obsessed with Star Wars when . . .

. . . you design a fully armed and operational Star Destroyer and the Pentagon turns down the design because the bow is in the shape of George Lucas' head.

. . . you write your doctoral thesis on just what kind of obscure energy a lightsaber emits.

. . . you fail your zoology final because, "Shaaks aren't real animals."

. . . the police come to house in response to complaints about the strange sounds coming from the gigantic basalt tower you've constructed in your backyard.

. . . you end up having this conversation:

...you buy a rug not because you like it, but because it has the name of one of your Star Wars fanfic characters.

Too funny!

When you tell your friends to focus and think when they are worried.

When you randomly quote SW in conversations with friends that don't even have a chance in hell of picking up on them...

Whenever you have something big coming up you say:
"I have a bad feeling about this..."

. . . you feel compelled to shout "FOR THE REPUBLIC!!!" every time you do something.

. . . you own seven cats, all of them named Obi-Wan.

. . . you try to choke the life out of your enemies with your mind on a regular basis.

. . . you tried to raid the Groom Lake military testing facility for "spare parts."

. . . you think gizkas inhabit your walls, and they've been eating through your cables

. . . you find facial deformities highly erotic.

. . . your father addresses you by "hey, son" and your first reaction is to scream "NOOOOOOOO!!! That's impossible!" at the top of your longs.

. . . you name the carpet in your living room Chewie.

. . . you find plate armor a major turn-on.

. . . you were extremely excited to see Sikorsky's X-Wing project, but then were disappointed to find out it was a helicopter.

. . . you get your paycheck and you call it a bounty.

. . . you find Mark Hamil playing villains to be incredibly amusing, and you're surprised that no-one else does.

. . . you tried to make your kitchen knife cut better by attaching an industrial strength vibrator to it.

. . . you think that Mimas has enough firepower to destroy an entire planet.

When you try to convince your professor to raise your grade with "You want to give me an A" plus a meaningful hand gesture.

Your boyfriend/girlfriend has a bruise on his forehead from the keldabe kiss you gave him/her. (Next time, wear a bucket!)

Your final paper in english class was an exploration of the archetypes in A New Hope.

...when you hear "I don't like you/him/it", you're suddenly prompted to go through the entire dialogue.
Dr. Evazan: He doesn't like you.
Luke: Sorry.
Dr. Evazan: I don't like you either. You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems.
Luke: I'll be careful.
Dr. Evazan: You'll be dead!


...when any bit of conversation can act as a prompt for shouting ALMOST THERE. ALMOST THERE, in which the appropriate response from all people around you is STAY ON TARGET. STAY ON TARGET.

Okaay..... If you say so....


When you have mando'a post-its all around your room to help you learn the names of things better

You refer to the TopOwl HUD display that the military pilots use as a "stormtrooper/clone trooper helmet" when talking about it to your co-workers.

You can short out any machine with your keen sense of electrical control. (Yes, our office is so bad with static electricity, I've been known as the "Sith Queen" now for shorting out TWO printers and a laptop!)

When your motto is 'Always for the Empire'.

When you want to stick a small aresol can into one of your gaunts with a pilot light to make it really shoot fire.

When your cuss your shebs off in mado'a on a regular basis and readily describe yourself as being
a garrulous and rough cut type.

That whenever a person asks where you come from you say Mandalore....

When you buying a new car and try to force persaude the dealer that it's ok to use Republic credits...

When someone beats you in a competition you mention that they are strong in the force....

You can never refer to any of the actors from the Star Wars movies by their real name (Happens all the time)

You vow to one day make a real lightsaber...

You use, "FOR MANADALORE!!!" as a battle cry...

You leave your assignments till later so you can post a reply on this forum....

You like to be referred to as Lord Reven....

You like to think of yourself as the number one bounty hunter out there...

When the first thing people notice when entering your room is the masses of SW posters figurines etc. spread around it...
When you have an entire shelf dedicated to only SW books...
When you spend hours on end translating stuff writen in mando'a and other stuff into mando'a

Tracyn

That whenever you think about it you either start a thread or post a reply on this topic...

you spent half your summer building replica armor to wear to conventions and parades
your favorite saying is "UNLIMITED POWER"
the guy at wendy's keeps on telling you you cant order combo 66

Lol the other day I went to a hamburger place and was thrilled to find that I had the 66th order, I still have the reciept with "order 66" writen up the top...

And when your order was called, you earnestly replied: "It will be done, my lord!"

Unfortunately no... they only called the number, they didn't say "order 66" so it would have been abit weird if i had...

When you have a full size, fully functional costume of Darth Vader.

When you buy a car not because of safety features or even practicality, but because it reminds you of a lambda shuttles sans the tri-wings.

When your entire library of games are different versions of Star Wars Monopoly...with SW Risk and Trivial Pursuit round out the games.
...and nobody will play you at Trivial Pursuit and you won't let them play with the Monopoly sets cuz it'll get scratched.

You have over $1000 dollars worth of lightsabers hanging on your bedroom wall...and they're all different...even if a couple of them claim to be from the same character...just a different episode. And there's only 10 lightsabers.

You figure out how to make a Buy'ce gal 'work' with real technology today....

You find your name attached to a Star Wars character and squeel! I got two!!

You can think of more than five things to post on a 'You know you're obsessed with Star Wars when' thread.

You're perusing the IKEA catalog that appeared in the mail today and don't care too much for the furniture, but your eyes light up at a pair of boots in a sample closet picture and think how they would go perfect with your Jedi costume!

when you look over from reading the "you know you are obsessed with star wars thread" to see your watching attack of the clones and then look down to see that your playing with your star destroyer model

When you shout out random Star Wars character's names backwards just to make people around you think you're insane.

when you look ant your star destroyer model and think " I bet a few tie fighters would look pretty nice too" the go back to watching ROTS
