Star Wars - Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back 101

I think the geekdom is really sinking in. Last night, after we watched Star Wars - Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, I had dreams about Star Wars. I was actually IN the movie. When I woke up and told Eric about it he said, "I'm so PROUD of you!". Ya know I'm kinda proud of me too.

While I'm loving these movies so far I'm not convinced that I'd ever be a Star Wars geek. Not even if I had started watching them when I was in elementary school. Here's the thing - I don't like to watch very many movies over and over and over again. The movies that I watch over and over again are Grease and A Walk To Remember. However, I think the story line in Star Wars is so intricate and detailed that it's making this first go around really interesting. (Ok ...yes I watched them when I was little, but I didn't really ABSORB them.) So I don't think I can technically be an Ubber Geek unless I watch them religiously, remember and repeat movie lines, and take the day off of work to see the first showing of the new movie. Ya know? But they are GOOD and I do have a new appreciation for them now. Most of all I'd say I'm really in to the storyline. It's like a space soap opera complete with your disfunctional family and lover spats.

Thoughts on: Star Wars - Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back

• Princess Leia had another cute "do" in this movie. Two actually. I like the wrap the braid around the head look. A very fem yet space warrior look. I can totally see what Han Solo can't resist her.
• How cute are Yoda's ears? Seriously. I want to kiss his scrunchy green face!
• Darth killed two people with his long distance choking routine. I experienced anxiety.
• Ok the big white snow animal that attacked Luke in the very beginning MADE ME SCREAM. In the "enhanced" version of the movie that Eric has you can actually see this creature eating a bloody body part and chunks of the meaty flesh were dangling, and later falling from, his big white hairy chin. GROSS!
• At first when Luke got his hand cut off I was appalled. A) Hello - how could you cut your kids hand off, Darth? B) Ok now what are you going to hold your glow stick with, Luke? C) I KNEW he shouldn't have gone against Yoda!!! D) Ouch. Once Luke was in the hands of Leia, and she so easily just attached another hand like she was replacing a light bulb, I kind of lost all my emotion about it. I mean if you can just go around getting body parts lopped off-- just to have them easily replaced the very next day -- what's the big worry?

Han Solo is hot but he's got cheating pig written all over his playa face.

Leia: "I love you."

Han Solo: "I know..."

P_U_N_K ... I'd have given him the bird.

• What O' WHAT is a "Nerf herder"? Anyone?
• Last but not least -- Han Solo wins the bravery prize in my opinion for stuffing his best friend in to the gut of a beast to keep him warm. That is so entirely gross and honorable that it's hard to conceive. Lizzy -- I'd stuff you inside of a Walrus if we were lost in the cold. I really would.
