Star Wars Science Fiction fans can generally be classified into two camps - 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek'. 'Trekkies' are often fans of using great restraint when possible and overwhelming in nature. Most of the aliens they meet look vaguely like humans* who had a bad experience with a wax factory. Fans of Star Wars are gluttons for sci-fi punishment. They either love being the all-powerful evil being or the scrappy underdog. Trekkies are rarely underdogs. Star Wars aliens seem to have either scales or fur and are also roughly humanoid in nature*. *Roughly human shapes for aliens are necessary or else conventions would be very boring. duels Thu, 13 Nov 2008 07:18:32 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/demotivator Corporate America has become filled with cliche.
