Beginning Notes: Drabble 3 of 3 17/08/14
Sorry about the late post.
I actually have an admission to make. Despite watching Star Trek since I was 4 years old, I didn't actually watch the Star Wars movies until I was about 14. Despite living in rural Australia I only got shit for being a Trekie from two people, they were both Star Wars fans (they collected the figurines, went on about the various movie versions, read the EU books), so I avoided it because I figured it wasn't something I wanted to be a part of if it produced those kind of arseholes.
My first experience with Star Wars was the Fast Forward Star Wars Parody episode. One of my favourite television moments is seeing Marg Downey dressed as Princess Leia getting introduced to whoever was Darth Vader and uttering what I think is a classic line; "Who is the dork in the stack hat?"

I: "I know. Utopian is just a term used to describe Sci-Fi that doesn't take place in a utopian setting as opposed to a dystopian setting."
T: "Then why are you arguing with me?"
I: "I felt childish." *wink*
