Random references so far out there it's tough to get.
I make jokes about a Wookie stuck in an Ewok's net.
I refer to my car's speed not in miles or kilometers but Kessel Run parsecs.
And the word after Star is Wars...never, ever Trek.
I can go super nerd (expanded universe) and speak of Luke's wife Mara Jade or even his son Ben.
Or Han and Leia's marriage or the history of their kin.
We can talk of Boba Fett and how he will outlive them all.
Come on! Did you think he was dead when he took that little fall?I will be the one to break the news to you that Chewbacca has actually died.
He was saving the Solo children, and I'll explain it all...even as you roll your eyes.
I'll bring up Clone Wars, comics, online fan fiction, and new figure releases.
And make you read "Shadows of the Empire" with all the page marks and creases.
I'll wear my Vader helmet to check the mail or Fett's mask to walk the dog.
I make fun of Trekkies when they talk about the "Captain's Log." So bear with me, humor me, nod and pretend you are understanding me.
But if I start showing you Jedi fighting techniques, you have my permission to flee.
Carbon scoring, protocol droids, rouge squadron, rule of two.
Lightsaber colors red, green, gold, purple, or blue.
Shadow bombs, the Vong, Bothans, and the Chiss.
Madalore, Falleen, or the way Bossk likes to hiss.
So, if this bores you, or your confused, don't worry it's nothing new...it's always the same.
But if you are with me and understand, then nerd runs in both of our veins.
Nerd.
