The Star Wars Fan Test



Don't you just hate when fans try to one-up each other? They call it gatekeeping. You can't be a real fan unless you know as much about Star Wars (or any other fandom) as I do! It's not a competition; it's supposed to be something we can enjoy. Yeah, this can apply to any fandom, but Star Wars is notorious for having way too many fans that not only hate other fans, but hate Star Wars itself.

This skit starts out angering us for just that. Rowan considers himself a knowledgeable and therefore "real" Star Wars fan, and he wants Ellie to admit she isn't a "real" fan because she can't possibly know what she needs to know everything about Star Wars. Then it's funny, because it's carried to a ridiculous degree. Then there's a twist. You don't want to miss it, in this skit from Viva La Dirt League. I know there's an old adage that applies here; probably several of them. -via Geeks Are Sexy

Yes but he also hurls them ... so i think not only trophies but rather a kind of captured or aquried weapon. I thought it to be more or less force sensitive.. and used by a basically brain controlled robot body should not have left much organic tissue to use such a force based wepon...
But actually i don't care as in case of an emgerncy i would certainly wield any trophys as soon as no other heavy object is within reach.. so be happy with your argument or not ;-)
Star wars is so full of more or less idiotic weapons, space ships and stuff ... i would not even start counting...
Is there anyone out there that has conied a new star wars specific word similar to "pigeon chess".. i would suggest "Mynok holochess"! They just interfere with the holoprojections, eat the cables and leave happily overeaten, leaving you with a destroyed holochess and regrets not to have lost not only the match but also the game... ;-)>

"Star Wars is notorious for having ... fans that ... hate Star Wars itself" Tha is very understandable, because of the large amount of inconsitencies.But why don't they just stop being Star Wars fans are are happy instead?Star Wars is not sooo goood that you should cling to it if you start seeing only the holes in the story.Being an unhappy Star Wars fan is futile!
