If you’re still reading this, then the Jedi mind trick must be working, and if that lead is the nerdiest thing you’ve ever read, then you probably aren’t a “Star Wars” fan.

“Star Wars” which has captivated audiences for more than two decades, is coming to an end. The upcoming “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” opening on May 19, is the last installment of the franchise, posing the obvious question – where will all the nerds go?

“I am [looking forward to it] in the sense that I hope George Lucas got it right, and it won’t suck,” junior history major Chris Heath said. “I’m not [looking forward to it] in that, if the other two movies are any indication, I think it will suck.”

Heath, a long-time “Star Wars” fan, owns a mini-collection of “Star Wars” paraphernalia, which includes a talking Darth Vader mask, Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn action figures, the “Star Wars” role-playing game, a light saber and, of course, DVD and VHS copies of the films. He has even gone so far as to name his computer the Death Star, programming it so that whenever he gets an e-mail, instead of the boring old “You’ve got mail,” his computer touts “Urgent message from the Star Destroyer Avenger.”

Sophomore history major Dan Bell said “Star Wars” won him over with its scope.

“I am just a movie purist,” Bell said. “I like ‘Star Wars’ because it represents one of those epic stories that I admire so much.”

Bell said he used to be a rabid “Star Wars” merchandise collector.

“I was really into the collectable card game,” Bell said. “I spent like a whole summer mowing lawns just to buy them.”

Heath has developed a passion for the “Star Wars” role-playing game, the purpose of which is to choose a character and enact what they would do in the situations the game proposes (think Dungeons and Dragons but without the cards).

“I have nerdy moments all the time,” Heath said.

Still, Heath has his limits.

“I would never go out in a ‘Star Wars’ costume,” Heath said. “I may be a nerd, but I’ve got some self-respect.”

Carley Bell, a junior communication major at Kishwaukee Community College, is grateful some fans show restraint.

“[In the theater] if you chomp too loudly on an M&M those storm troopers will just give you this look,” Bell said.

Fanatic Heath has seen worse.

“At my high school, there was this kid who would wear a ‘Star Wars’ shirt every day,” Heath said. “At football games, he would dress up in a full Darth Vader costume and run up and down the field. That kid was one of the reasons I never got that bad.”

As May 19 looms, Heath can’t help but feel nostalgic and grateful for the movies that have touched his life.

“George Lucas is a tool,” Heath said. “He’s pretty much said he is making the movies for himself and if people don’t like it, then screw them.”
