15 Problems Only Star Wars Fans Will Understand

1. Losing Your Temper When Someone Mocks The Saga

This happens a lot. The minute someone takes umbrage with anything about the Star Wars saga, even with the prequels, you lurch straight back from the Dark Side to the light, mouthing off about what nonsense they€™re talking and losing your shit much in the same way that faux-gold frigbot C3P0 does repeatedly in every sodding scene he€™s in. If anyone criticises your favourite character, you€™re straight at them like a pigeon on a chip. Or if they get a tiny thing wrong about an insignificant moment in one of the films, you disembowel them with a verbal colonic. Which is all perfectly well and good. Darth Vader€™s probably your hero and he takes no prisoners. Apart from Princess Leia that time. And Han. And Chewie. And Luke. Anyway, Star Wars is your baby; your comfort blanket. And woe betide anyone who makes a mockery of it. You find their lack of faith disturbing. Thankfully, the Force is clearly not with them. It€™s all with you. And will be with you. Always. No, really.
