Whether you prefer the prequel trilogy, sequel trilogy, the original trilogy, or even the Clone Wars, Star Wars is your bread and butter. It’s quite possible that the Star Wars franchise has been there your whole life—an epic galaxy full of amazing storytelling and bold characters.
So are you a casual appreciator or a straight-up super Star Wars fan?
We’re here to take you through the 5 tell-tale signs that you’re more than a padawan when it comes to Star Wars appreciation. From force powers to action-figure collections and a Star Wars subscription box, it’s time to sit down and determine once and for all what makes a true Star Wars saga nerd.
#1 You Try To Use The Force
The force. It’s an energy field created by all living things. So why wouldn’t you try to harness it for some daily tasks?
Only a real Star Wars geek would try to:
- Force pull the TV remote closer to them
- Force jump up a staircase
- Open automatic doors with the force (this once works every time)
Double points if you ever tried to use the Jedi Mind Trick on your parents or teachers. If only you could’ve convinced them with a wave of the hand that your homework was done, your room was clean, and you weren’t the droid they were looking for.
The force is one of the most interesting and alluring aspects of the Star Wars universe, and nerds have been gushing over it for decades. So, don’t think twice the next time someone gives you the side-eye while you try to pick up a coffee mug with your Jedi Master force powers—you’re just a true Star Wars fan.
And remember, the force will be with you, always.
#2 You’re a Collector of All Things Star Wars Saga
Since the first film, Star Wars has always been about Star Wars merchandise. From the original Kenner Star Wars Action figures to The Mandalorian collectibles of today, no Star War superfan can resist the beauty of collectibles.
With awesome options like:
- Superfan subscription boxes
- Apparel
- Collectible figures
- Lego
- Homeware
- Cookware (Millenium Falcon waffle-maker, anyone?)
- Décor
- Lightsaber
- Star Wars games
With more and more brands offering Star Wars edition items, there’s never been a better time to be a Star Wars obsessive—and true fans take every advantage. Star Wars merchandise aficionados have brought their favorite franchise into their daily items. And at Culture Fly, we honor your love for Star Wars with a geek box packed with one-of-a-kind collectible items.
So if you’ve decked out your home with things like Vader-themed area rugs and Death Star dinner plates, you can definitely consider yourself a true blue fan.
#3 You Occasionally Speak Like Yoda
Speak like Yoda, you do.
There’s no better way to dispense some wisdom, blurt out a quote, or roast a friend than by flipping your speech to resemble Jedi Master Yoda’s. Not only can you do the classic object-subject-verb style sentences, you’ve even learned a froggy accent that epitomizes Yoda’s signature croak.
A real Star Wars film nerd has absorbed all of Yoda’s teachings and his dialect too. As long as nobody asks you to do a Baby Yoda impression (his name is Grogu)!
#4 You Have A Favorite Star Wars Ship or Vehicle
Do you grip the steering wheel of your car and pretend you’re piloting an X-wing? Does your bike feel more like a Speeder? Are you the equivalent of a sci-fi gearhead?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, congrats. You’re a special kind of Star Wars geek— the spaceship connoisseur.
Between arguing the merits of the TIE Fighter versus TIE Interceptor, estimating the speed of a Sandcrawler, or explaining exactly how long a parsec, you love to imagine yourself in the pilot’s seat, traveling from Naboo to Tatooine.
Star War is about space, after all, and there are few things cooler than picturing yourself among the stars in an awe-inspiring spaceship.
#5 You’re All About The Extended Universe
Sure, it started with the Star Wars movies, but it certainly doesn’t end there.
The Star Wars universe isn’t just about the story of the Skywalker family. There are a few thousand years of backstory, full of tales just as spellbinding as anything on the big screen. The Star Wars universe is massive!
We’re talking about:
- Books
- TV Shows
- Comics
- Video games
There’s a plethora of Star Wars material to obsess over. You know the timelines, the deep lore, the subplot, and what’s canon. Your favorite character might not even be in the Star Wars movies!
A casual fan might know a little about a villain’s backstory in the geek TV show or movie, but you’ve memorized Darth Plagueis’ whole biography.
