The American people are owed a full explanation of how [Abdulrahman al-Awlaki] wound up dead. ‘We weren’t trying to kill the 16-year-old American we blew up’ isn’t sufficient explanation.

At one point in time, knowing who Boba Fett was, and appreciating his role in the original Star Wars movies (ie Episodes IV, V, and VI), was some sort of identifier that a person was a deep, intense Star Wars fanatic. No random moviegoer, upon seeing the original 3 Star Wars movies said, “Man, that Boba Fett guy was awesome! He was really the best part of the movies!” But if you were deep into the fandom, you knew his name, and maybe you cared about him.

Now, claiming Boba Fett is your favorite Star Wars character is, in my opinion, a near dead giveaway that you are a wannabe geek. If I were bored enough to visit your blog, I’d expect a moody painting of Boba holding a kitten, followed immediately by a gif from The Big Bang Theory, and a photo of Carl Sagan.

Stop it. It’s not necessary. Just be yourself. Like what you like.

Besides, all real geeks know Han Solo was the shit.
