    Disappointed, angry, embarrassed, depressed... You name it, if it's a negative emotion, you can probably call a Star Wars fan it and he's (or she) agree.

    Damn you Lucas...

    Me, I thought it had something to do with Jedi robes, resulting in my surprise when I read the OP. :o

    eh I think a lot of SW fans responded to padawan for a while.

    But now it will be "princess". I am done with that scene, I refuse to touch anything disney. The 1-2-3 movies were bad enough. The editing/wrecking of 4/5/6 was almost sacrilege. And now disney. /barf.

    Hehe... Princesses they are from now on.

    Edit: I am kinda curious though, did you watch Avengers? Thor? Captain America? Iron Man? Any of those Marvel movies? They are all Disney too.

    My interest in Wars died when Disney took over.

    it refers the the light brown duster coats Mal's side wore during the war a few years prior to the events in Firefly, and thus, they became known as "browncoats", like the British were referred to as "redcoats" during our War of Independence.

    At least fans of Firefly didn't come to be known as "orange knit hatties" ;)


    Regarding Star Wars: warries? war mongers? Lucasites?

    I was dragged into watching iron man, against my will. I have not watched the others. I may have watched one of the others visiting a friend, on dvd, but none of my money went to the borg.

    Its outside what is allowed to discuss here -- but let us just say I disagree with their agenda.

    They are either Jedi or Sith, depending on which faction they identify with.

    I, for example, am an Old Republic Sith.

    TRIBBLE the Galactic Empire. Bunch of idiots who couldn't kill a Jedi if he was dangling precariously into the maw of a Sarlacc.

    Well, they kids in school that used to beat me and take my Star Wars lunchbox away called me a nerd...I don't think it's an official name though...they said the same **** with my Star Trek stuff too.

    Seriously, I had no idea SW fans had any special moniker. I always referred\heard them referred as Star wars fans.

    I saw this before clicking the link and immediately thought it was some obscure group of fans devoted to The Questor Tapes. :rolleyes:

    Side note: I do think The Questor Tapes could be an interesting show with a bit of retooling for today's Information Age technology, and today's taste in shows like Lost which feature seasonal and series-wide plot mystery arcs.
