. . .And Wookiees are MUCH Cooler than Ewoks!
I was listening to a local morning radio show that has a weekly quiz--the first caller with the right answer to the week's question can win a prize.
One morning, the question was: "What planet was blown up in the first Star Wars movie?"
"
Alderaan," I thought immediately. "It was a peaceful planet."
And can you believe that people actually called in saying "The Death Star"? The Death Star wasn't a
planet! It
blew up planets!
And other fools called in and said
Tatooine! How could half the movie take place on
Tatooine AFTER it was blown up?
Ugh!
Finally someone called in with the right answer and won lunch for five at Wiener Schnitzel's.
After the caller hung up, the two DJ's went on about how geeky the guy must be if he knew the answer to that question, and how he must have trouble getting girls, and so on. . .
It's confirmed.
I know enough about Star Wars to add "Super" before my title "Geek."
