HAPPY STAR WARS DAY! :)

Exactly 34 years ago a little film was released to the public by the name of "Star Wars". The reaction to it was unexpected and unprecedented. The movie became the most successful of all time at that point. Star Wars has spawned a phenomenon that makes it still very relevant to this day. Star Wars is incorporated in every type of media, be it television, books, comics, games, etc. New generations are continually introduced to the Star Wars Universe by those type of means. Many of the younger children today may watch the prequel trilogy or the Clone Wars TV show. The popularity of this franchise is not even close to diminishing and will continue to be adored for many generations to come. Also since May 25th was the release date of Star Wars, conveniently it is also Geek Pride Day. So be proud and celebrate your geek-ness since you have many rights and responsibilities to uphold:

Rights:
  1. The right to be even geekier.
  2. The right to not leave your house.
  3. The right to not like football or any other sport.
  4. The right to associate with other nerds.
  5. The right to have few friends (or none at all).
  6. The right to have as many geeky friends as you want.
  7. The right to be out of style.
  8. The right to show off your geekiness.
  9. The right to take over the world.
Responsibilities:
  1. Be a geek, no matter what.
  2. Try to be nerdier than anyone else.
  3. If there is a discussion about something geeky, you must give your opinion.
  4. To save and protect all geeky material.
  5. Do everything you can to show off geeky stuff as a "museum of geekiness."
  6. Don't be a generalized geek. You must specialize in something.
  7. Attend every nerdy movie on opening night and buy every geeky book before anyone else.
  8. Wait in line on every opening night. If you can go in costume or at least with a related T-shirt, all the better.
  9. Don’t waste your time on anything not related to geekdom.
  10. Try to take over the world!
