Today, while talking to my girlfriend, the subject of Darth Vader came up. That's when she asked me, "Aren't Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker the same person?" I don't know what's worse, the fact that she asked me that, or the fact that I got upset over her lack of Star Wars knowledge. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I are still arguing about the same subject, which is pretty much one of the only things we disagree on: whether Obi-Wan is hotter than Anakin or not. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I binged Star Wars. Now he keeps talking about how the Empire is superior to the Republic, digging up Reddit threads / YouTube videos / expressing his own political ideas to convince me of this. I just wanted to watch the movies. FML
Today, I had an in-depth conversation at work about how technically Luke Skywalker was never a Jedi Master. Highlight of my working day. FML
Today, my ex purposely taught our kids to call all the Star Wars characters by Star Trek names. I’m not sure what bothers me more, the fact that she did it, or the fact that it makes me utterly insane when they say them. FML
Today my boyfriend and my best friend had a very lengthy, detailed conversation about Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, of which I know nothing about. Once they stopped, I looked at him and smiled, and he responded with, "Why can't you be more like her?" FML
Today, someone asked my wife if I was her father. FML
Today, I was talking to my girlfriend about extinct peoples, and I said how close the Jewish people came to becoming one. She condescendingly told me they don't exist anymore. When I asked what she was talking about, I realized she was confusing them with the Vikings. What the hell? FML
Today, I was giving my friend a crash course in Star Wars over coffee. As I was telling him about the primitive and savage Sand People, some attention-seeking tit came out of nowhere and called me racist. Apparently she thought I was talking about people from the Middle East. FML
Today, I learned that I'm expecting twins. A boy and a girl. My husband, upon finding out about this, immediately suggested that we give them Star Wars names. But not Luke and Leia. Oh no. He wants to name them Darth and Vayda. And he is absolutely serious about this. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that she didn't know we were actually dating. FML

My friends wife didn't know who Chewbacca was. I told him to divorce her.

The fact that you got upset is worse. You will realise that when she gets upset about you not knowing the difference between fond-de-teint, eyeshadow and mascara.

I don't even know what fond-de-teit is and I am female *shrugs*

I'm at a crossroads with this one. On one hand, how could she not know that. It's in the main stream of social knowledge. But on the other hand, why did you get upset that she didn't know that? Don't talk to her about all the different Captains on Star Trek, your head will explode when she looks at you quizzically and asks, "What is Star Trek, another movie?" Sounds to me like you're going to be visiting Madame Palm and the Five Sisters for awhile if you don't knock it off.

On the one hand I see your point. But on the other hand, movies (even Star Wars) are for everyone. Makeup is generally only for women-not always, but usually.

I think it's been pretty much embraced by main stream pop culture enough for her to know better.

The anger is swelling.... Use your hate. Strike them down and your journey to the dark side will be complete.

I'm sorry I'm not a star wars nut or anything but it's a classic and I'd watch it over and over before any of the movies now a days they are ALL pretty much the same thing there's no creativity in movies any more

Star Wars is not boring. But before I watched it, I thought it was for nerds. When I finally got around to it, I was watching the movies NONSTOP seriously, it's awesome.

I love how birdie sage assumes all star wars fans are into the cosplay and carry fake lightsabers. Way to be a stereotyping asshole.

I would thumb it up, but thumbs aren't fingers and I only use fingers.
