Star Wars Speed Dating

Star Wars fans now have a way to find love, or at least a compatible Jedi -in a hurry. Star Wars Celebration V in Orlando hosted three days of speed dating sessions for conventioneers, the first ever speed dating event just for Star Wars fans.

The ages of the speed-dating participants at Celebration V ranged from 18 to 54, but most appeared to be in their mid-20s. The women were, by and large, attractive; most wore street clothes. Of the men, no more than three were openly carrying lightsabers, and in general, they looked less like Jabba the Hutt and more like Luke Skywalker than might have been expected.

“The women who show up are looking for someone to make a connection with,” Glitch explained. “Most of the guys are just like, ‘I get to talk to a girl! Fabulous!’ “

Some attendee really hit it off, and made trips to the Star Wars Commitment Chapel, conveniently provided by the convention planners. Link -via Fark
