Today, I had an in-depth conversation at work about how technically Luke Skywalker was never a Jedi Master. Highlight of my working day. FML

What's worse?

Today, while talking to my girlfriend, the subject of Darth Vader came up. That's when she asked me, "Aren't Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker the same person?" I don't know what's worse, the fact that she asked me that, or the fact that I got upset over her lack of Star Wars knowledge. FML

Today, I got written up at work for making a customer feel bad. I made him feel bad by laughing uncontrollably at him when he asked if we sold real light sabers. FML

Today, I was watching Star Wars : Attack of the Clones, and Yoda was using the force to move a heavy object. While in the middle of my loungeroom, I instinctively put my hand up to use the force to help him, infront of my father and sister. My sister will never let me live it down. FML

Today, we had a get together for work at a restaurant I've never heard of. After spending all week trying to make a good impression on my new boss and co-workers, I showed up in a pair of shorts and a Star Wars T-Shirt. Turns out it was one of the fanciest restaurants in town. FML

Today, I was giving my friend a crash course in Star Wars over coffee. As I was telling him about the primitive and savage Sand People, some attention-seeking tit came out of nowhere and called me racist. Apparently she thought I was talking about people from the Middle East. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I binged Star Wars. Now he keeps talking about how the Empire is superior to the Republic, digging up Reddit threads / YouTube videos / expressing his own political ideas to convince me of this. I just wanted to watch the movies. FML

Hard day at work I see. Luke does become a Jedi master, just not in the first 2 trilogies.

I agree good sir. That sounds like a fun time at work to me. I wish my employees would grace me with a conversation like that, instead of the "guess what my girlfriend did or did not do" variety.

Better then an in-depth conversation between co-workers comparing their light sabers. Lol

That doesn't make any sense. Jedi Master is an official title. There was no Jedi Order in Luke Skywalker's time so technically speaking, Luke could have saved the Jedi from extinction (oh wait, he did!) and not get a title of mastery because there was no one to give it to him..

true, but post-Empire Luke is responsible for the reconstruction of the Jedi Order. I may be wrong, but being that he is technically the founder of the new order and that "Master" status was given to those who'd passed Trials of Knighthood (modifications withstanding) and showed great mastery of the Force, it's safe to say Luke eventually became a Jedi Master.

Well obviously you didn't do your homework because Luke DOES become a Jedi Master...just not in the movies....

So we settled that question. But was it ethical to kill all those subcontractors working on the Death Star?

Today, I am so sick and tired of watching my brother get everything he wants in life from being a bastard. He does everything I would consider bad and it’s made him rich and successful. I try and be a good person and all it got me is fired, and in danger of losing my car and house. FML

Today, someone burgled my hotel room. As always, I had locked my passport, extra cash, and other valuables in the closet safe, so I thought the losses would be superficial. What a discovery that the safe hadn't been fastened to the closet shelf, so the thief just picked it up and took it home. FML
