It’s good to be king! (of the geeks)

It’s not often that I get to flex my fanboy muscles. I’m not particularly rabid about a lot of topics. There is really only one. Star Wars. I’m a huge Star Wars fan. Note that I said WARS not Trek.
None of that sissy beaming up and down from a planet shit for me. If you want to be on a planet you hop your happy ass in a ship and fly down there. If somebody just happens to not want you on that planet, then you will likely be making planetfall in several dozen more pieces than you planned, but that’s the price you pay when let a crazy old megalomaniac force you to fly around in an unshielded TIE Fighter, retard.
Okay, bashing Star Trek isn’t the reason for this post. I was at the bookstore today, as I am often, when I ran across this little lovely. My inner 7 year old took control faster than the Falcon can make the Kessel Run and snatched one up. It goes perfect with my Darth Tater and means I only need one more to complete collection. Yay! Who needs to save money when there are Star Wars toys to buy.
I’m not one of the collectors who has to keep everything in a box. I just snapped this pic real quick today. It will probably be coming out of his box in a few minutes. Darth Tater is unboxed and Artoo will be placed on the shelf with him.

oh my god…is that a hologram Ms. Potatohead version of Leia? LOL
For the record I love ST:TNG, but ONLY TNG. Kirk irritates the hell out of me and I’m only going to see the movie because Sylar is in it and it’s directed by JJ Abrahms.

Yes, it is a hologram Leia.
I can accept TNG only because Picard is such a bad ass.

I was sad how it ended =(
They killed Data!
And yes Picard is a total bad ass. My favorite part is he’s much more humble than Kirk was. Kirk was always so far up his own ass I just couldn’t watch. They gave a few parts of his personality to Riker though…

Now I’ll admit I liked Data, but he was an android and technically couldn’t be killed.
Now Chewbacca, I bawled like a baby when they killed him. He didn’t get to grow old like the rest of the gang, they dropped a moon on him. A MOON!! He died saving Han’s son so his life debt was paid, but still.
