What qualifies you as a fan? A considerable about of knowledge and love for the series and franchise. You have followed it and enjoyed MOST mof the movies.
That is what I am.
How can you tell if you're a geek?
-If you can name any of the Jedi Council besides Yoda and Mace Windu.
-If you know any other Jedi besides the above two and Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Qui-Gon Jinn.
If you still buy Star Wars toys and merchandise (other than the free stuff when you buy a coke at McDonald's or something) and you are over the age of 12 or 13. Maybe 14.
-If you will go to the movies dressed as a Jedi/Sith Lord/Stormtrooper/Clone Trooper/Darth Vader/any character of the Star Wars universe not covered in this sentence.
-If you still insist that that the movie TPM is a high quality movie.
-George Lucas is an artist who had the whole thing written since the beginning and you also still insist that Lucas never sold himself out to pander to the kiddies and teen demographics.
-If you can name any of hte animals on Hoth.
-If you can tell me what the expanded Universe says happened to the characters after the original trilogy.
If you do or could answer any of the above questions/statements you are a Star Wars geek.
