Guilty Pleasures: Star Wars


Yes, it's true.  I love me some
Star Wars  But then, I grew up in that era where the original trilogy was filled with magic, where you would reach out with your hand to pull something with the Force, and lightsabers were the end all to any battle.


I was reminded of my love for Stars Wars last night when I was watching Fanboys.  If you haven't seen it (and you are a fan of the Star Wars), then see if you would pass the test given in the movie (you'll see it).

I can't say I'm a hard-core fan; I've never dressed up and gone out in costume beyond Halloween.  I don't own any props.  I only have two unopened toy figures.  My son has some of the Lego toys; I've got a dozen or so books.  But I still really enjoy the whole Star Wars universe, how the characters have developed and interplay with each other.

It's not for everyone, that's for sure.  But, again, that's why it's a guilty pleasure.

P.S. - While I didn't grow up a Trekkie, I can't say I have any animosity towards Star Trek fans.  I love the new movie and Shatner is one of my fav actors.

Closing Quote: “The Dark Side of the Force is the pathway to many abilities some consider to be… Unnatural.”
