From a certain point of view... I'm a COMPLETE geek.

::sigh::

I caved. I had several things to return to Borders today, and I was wandering, and trying NOT to look at Star Wars stuff... And it didn't work.

And the fact that we can't find our video copy of "A New Hope" has been driving me insane since Wednesday at about 3 am.

So... yeah. Bought the original trilogy on DVD.

I... love these movies.

Love them.

Talked about Star Wars till Mom told me we were watching Episodes I and II tonight or she was going to smack me.

So, we did. (Well, mostly. Mom faded and fell asleep during Episode II when Obi-Wan was captured by Dooku. So we're finishing tomorrow. Plus, the kittens were distracting. As kittens tend to be. I love my kitties.)

But yes, let me just point out something interesting...

My brother, who is 18 and a PEST and everything a stereotypical teenage boy is supposed to be... Likes Anakin. Thinks Obi-Wan "obeys the rules too much." This from my brother who wants to be a COP. He *also* made the sacriligous statement that Darth Maul was the best bad guy ever. Even better than Vader, he said. Mom and I stared, and I smacked him and told him to watch the originals again. Poor boy just doesn't know his villains.


Meanwhile, am thinking it may be not a great thing that I am FAR more obsessive about Star Wars than my teenage brother. Aren't they the ones who are supposed to be obsessed? No, it's the twenty-some year old female college student drooling over the books and sighing over the soundtrack and oogling Obi-Wan...

Well, if teenage boys oogle Obi-Wan, they may not be the boys I'm referring to.

( Cut for the protection of those who like Anakin, have no problems with the prequels and don't want to listen to some whining... )

I think it's just one of those things.

I am a geek, and obsessed, and that is all there is to it.

And I love Obi-Wan. And I would love him were he NOT played by Ewan MacGregor.... of course, that does NOT hurt. Uh-uh. Nope.

Also, ADORE the beard in Ep. III. Absolutely. He looks so funny in Ep. I. They ALL look so... YOUNG. Which is, I know, the point. But still.



Am also realizing that it's almost ten years since the original trilogy was redone and released in theaters, and my obsession truly began. Always liked it before, but come junior high... I gained a new appreciation of them. ::sigh::



I feel old.

( A small bit of depressingness under the cut. Feel free to ignore... )

Anyway, I love these movies and this fandom, even if it is one of the more... snobbish... of fandoms. I feel joy.

And I adore Obi-Wan.

Also, would like to find a quality archive of fics, and am not sure even how to go about searching for one. Yikes. :-P

Off to bed now, methinks. Or something...
