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 coworker and I were swamped with coffee orders. I told him I would "take care of the blacks", and a customer who only heard that sentence screamed at me for several minutes about racism. 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

Harsh critics

Today, I lost half my friends and was kicked out of my Star Wars club, all because I said that The Acolyte is unwatchable trash. Apparently that makes me "an alt-right Trump-humper." Whatever that means. FML

Today, I was out drinking with some colleagues, when one started ranting about some pretty sensitive subjects. There were some Latino guys nearby, and as soon as he said "I'm not racist, but..." I tried to casually get the hell out of there. We all got the crap beaten out of us anyway. FML

Today, I watched a movie my old teacher recommended me. She was one of my favourite teachers. I saw the title, opened it, and found out that the premise is racist towards my ethnic group. She marked me harshly. 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

Today, my ex purposely taught our kids to call all the Star Wars characters by Star Trek names. I’m not sure what bothers me more, the fact that she did it, or the fact that it makes me utterly insane when they say them. FML

Today, I was talking to a smokin' hot Cuban sorority girl. She told me her mom only speaks Spanish, so she translates for her. Without thinking I said, "Oh like Chewbacca and Han Solo?" FML

Today, a girl called me a racist, stereotyping asshole. All I did was ask a kid who happens to be Asian to tutor me in math. Which I didn't do just because he's Asian, but rather because he's in college and is actually a brilliant mathematician. FML

They're called Tuskans, not "sand people", and they have an incredibly rich history and culture. Check your privilege, shitlord.

Uh, no. Step aside, dumbass and prepare to be lectured. First off, it's Tusken, there's no a. Second, that is the traditional name, they gained the name Tusken Raiders after a raid on Fort Tusken. And there really is a lot that's not known about them other than that they are an ancient race, which its speculated that the Jawas could be descendants of them somehow. They have a complex history and culture and are known for being territorial and extremely xenophobic. So there, do YOUR research next time.

I need you to be my friend and give me a crash course as well! My 5yo son is getting quite frustrated that I know nothing about Star Wars.

You'll probably want to catch up at least on the original trilogy before seeing the new one. Some scenes will take you longer to figure out without background knowledge.

Watch the trilogies, and for extended knowledge the star wars wiki is always great too.

Better than a crash course is to sit down and watch at least the original trilogy. I've been doing this with my wife, who had never seen Star Wars until now and she has become a fan.
