If Star Trek fans are trekkies.....

Good thing they`re not calling us "forceoids"...

jedioids - stupid
sithoids - even stupider

Oh, what, but what`s wrong with Star Wars fans? We don`t have to find something that resembles "trekkies" or "windies" (lol) or any other "-ies/-ois" ended name! We have our own identity! We`re Star Wars fans!

Nerdi!

Nope. SW fans.

Forcers would definitely sound a bit freaky.......and would probably lead to a few sexual harrassment law suites......and the Baptist Church calling us rapists 🙁

Yup, that's what GWTW fans are called... Windies.... I know, b/c I am one! But now after having seen ROTS I think that it is my favorite movie above GWTW.... and that's saying a LOT.............

Heres an idea......"Swites"???? (Combining "SW" and "ites"😉

honestly back in 70s force junkies was first term i ever heard used for SW fans...i was in gradeschool like 1st or second or something...i know i was in school but that had already been adopted as term for us, also many older people(older than I evenwheelchair) said trek and starwars were ripoffs of dune? i never here that nowadays but after researching could be truth to it...any wheelchair folks to comment on this?

What about the Lord of the Rings Foak

what you mean? are lord of the rings fans called :lord of the rings foak"? or you just wonder what the LOTR fans called?

Trek was out in 67, how old is Dune? Or were the books much older?

books older from research i seen on net...that and what i heard as yougling makes me wonder of truth to the ripoff theory ...

I don't remember the Dune story, so I really can't comment. I enjoyed the original Star Trek when I was younger, but never got into any of the sequel series.

That, and now that I think Shatner is a total a$$, I don't care to watch much of the original anymore either.

well he didnt hold up being "kirk"in real life no dount or arguement there but hes just a dude....plus he lost his wife...that had to of hurt his fan appearance image as far as the way he acted...I dont know... he was being ass before that but loss of wife just woof...that would not be something I would want to or could imagine going thru....I felt for the fella

Me too, but as you said, he was an a$$ even before that.

Make a thread about this, PM me to tell me you've done it and i'll answer to it (the Literature and EU SW forum sounds like the right place).
