Once upon a time (I think I was 14 when it all started), I was a real Star Wars nut. I guess I identified with Princess Leia's longish hair, then subsequently developed a huge crush on Harrison Ford (which I lost after seeing What Lies Beneath). I spent countless hours rehearsing the script in my head, chatting in SW rooms, and scavenging the web for factoids, pictures and sound bytes. Episode I pretty much cured me of all this; the whole flavor of the movie seemed different than the trilogy, and I was offended by the analogy being drawn between Christ and Vader - which only exacerbated my uneasiness about the Eastern mysticism ideas entailed in The Force. Also, as my sister once said, "The Phantom Menace? It sounds like the title of a Scooby-Doo episode." Still, I will always think fondly of the original three. They are, IMHO, the most quotable movies ever made. I also ended up buying lots of John Williams CD's, and discovering classical music in a new way. On a more practical note, I acquired a motivation to study math and science. Anyway, there are many good jokes left over; so enjoy...and metaphors be with you! 

GIRLS ONLY: starwarssisters club (the moderators are quite strict, boys have been kicked out before) - see silly pictures of me doing my hair Leia fashion and some old fan fiction I wrote eons ago (you have to join the group, at least temporarily, to view these).

When I switched from Windows to Linux to Windows, I lost most of my Star Wars files. I really need to go scour the web again so that I can recreate the comical .wav strings I had before. For now, here are the transcripts:

Leia: Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi...you're my only hope.

Yoda: Help you I can, yes - mmmhehehehe!

 

C3P0: Hello sir, I am C3P0: human-cyborg relations...

(laserblast)

Luke: I got him!

Han: Great shot kid, that was one in a million!

And saving the most absurd for last,

Vader: I am your father.

Leia: Darth Vader, only you could be so bold.

Vader: You don't know the power of the dark side.

Leia: I don't know where you get your delusions, laserbrain.

Vader: Join me on the dark side....

Leia: I'd just as soon kiss a wookie!

Han: I got a bad feeling about this!

Vader: All too easy.

Chewy: bleat/growl

Han: Don't get excited!

Vader: Impressive.
