Here is the criteria to be a fanatic.
1. You try to use The Force when your football team is losing.
2. You can't wait to call your children 'Luke' and 'Leia'.
3. It is perfectly normal to buy your girlfriend a gold bikini outfit like Princess Leia's in 'Return Of The Jedi' - even if she's a size 18.
4. You make your boyfriend respond "I know" whenever you tell him that you love him.
5. You want the Star Wars disco theme by Meco played at your parties.
6. You want the Star Wars theme played at your wedding.
7. You want the Star Wars theme played at your funeral.
8. Your plastic lightsaber is REAL – end of story.
9. You tell every child you know that Jar Jar Binks is the anti-Christ.
10. People promise to try and do something and you automatically respond, "Try not! Do. Or do not. There is no try."
11. You debate the merits of an X-Wing spaceship versus a Y-Wing spaceship with fellow fans.
12. You cried like a baby when Titanic's box office receipts out-grossed the original 1977 Star Wars movie.
13. You have dubbed 3 sets (at least) of the original version of 'Return Of The Jedi' in order to preserve the 'nub-nub' Ewok song replaced in the Special Editions. In addition, you have dubbed 19 sets (at least) of the original version of 'The Empire Strikes Back' and/or the VHS version of the Special Edition in order to preserve Boba Fett's original voice, as spoken by actor Jason Wingreen.
14. You successfully complete a task (such as changing a light bulb) and immediately say to yourself, "Impressive. Most impressive. Obi-Wan has taught you well."
15. You preface the surname of all your mates with the word 'young' (e.g. "Milk and two sugars for me young Stevens").
16. You think that Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is the ultimate betrayal of your childhood; it's worse than finding out that Father Christmas doesn't exist, that your mum can't cook, that your dad watches snooker and that little people do not live inside your telly ... but you bought the DVD anyway.
17. You have online arguments with Trekkies about who's the bigger stud; Han Solo or Captain Kirk ... and you're all straight men.
18. You're convinced the Jedi mind trick will get you out of household chores.
19. You believe that on the 7th day, George Lucas created 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
20. Not only are you smiling at this list, you're already in the process of forwarding it on.
