    As a newlywed I went to a Sci-fi fantasy Banquet in full Ferengi with my wife in Starfleet and sporting chains at wrist and neck.

    The starfleet pajama boys never forgave me. The Klingons thought it was the best joke ever, and became good friends.
    (and had better beer)

    Fast forward some 19 years, still here, our costumes don't fit, we are trying our best to age gracefully.
    So we quietly deserted the whole sci-fi convention scene years back. Still have a friend or 2 in that world.

    Ohh did I mention that I built a dueling light saber years back?

    I won't be seeing the new movie for a few days but my wife did say we would go on her days off next week.

    What I like about Star Wars is everyone and there dog getting excited about and armed populace rising up to overthrow a corrupt government. I am amazed Hollywood makes stuff like that as they are so anti-gun for others.
    Sci-Fi is basically westerns, Star Trek Deep space 9 is Gunsmoke, Star Wars any armed town overthrowing gangs or rich invaders.

    It goes back further than that - meideval morality tales - and the bad guy wore a black hat!

    They may be anti-gun but light sabre's are OK , for now at least.

    The western / sci-fi analogy is right on. Last night I saw a Harrison Ford cowboy- sci-fi movie....Cowboy's and Aliens . Not quite Star Wars but it was interesting.

    No, I'm sure they are worthless, hardly even worth recyling. BUT, you can send them to me.

    I have seen them all and will see the new one on Christmas day with my wife and son.
    I like Star Trek more than Star Wars.

    Don't do any collecting of memorabilia or sci-fi conventions, though.

    Nice Glocks but ??? I don't get it. Is it something about the wooley mammoth's?

    Mandalorian, not mammoths. Bobba Fett is Mandalorian which is one of the reasons people like the symbol.

    Saw the movie last night first showing in IMAX 3D. I was not disappointed. After episodes 1 & 2 and most of 3, I wasn't sure how it was going to go.

    JJ Abrams definitely redeemed Star Wars after the atrocious prequel movies! It was a great movie!
