Star Wars Tattoos - now that's Fanaticism!
October 16th 2006 01:15
Here on 20/20 Filmsight, I'm never one to shy away from the sheer tenacity of Star Wars Fans. They love the movies so much that they'll go to extreme lengths to absorb any part of the Star Wars Mythology.
Lightsaber duels...Golden Bikinis... Femtroopers...
Some fans, though, take it to a new level. A new, overly-disturbing level. A level beyond levels. A level so high, it's in that Cloud City where Lando betrayed Han.
From Widelec.org, a collection of some pretty 'intense' Star Wars-themed tattoos. And when I say 'intense', I really mean hideously ugly and garish. Here's a sample:
Actually, I bet that tattoo would be pretty useful. Imagine he meets a Bedouin soldier in the desert.
'None shall pass,' the warrior intones monotonically.
The flabby Star Wars nerd removes his T-shirt, and flexes, Incredible Hulk-styles, the faces on his back rippling, almost lifelife.
The warrior gasps in surprise...his lieutenant grabs his arm fearfully.
'Master! He wears the mark of the one who is prophesized to turn sand into gold!'
The nerd rears his head back and gives a strangled Chewbacca growl. The warriors cover their ears.
'Aiiieeee! The sound! It is so horrible!'
Naturally, they accept the nerd as their leader, and he marries the prettiest daughter of the chieftain. He takes small groups of warriors and they destroy several oil-drilling platforms in the desert.
Once, the nerd was shot in the back as they fled a burning oil derrick. The Bedouin brought his body back to the camp to bury as a hero, but were shocked when he came to. The bullet was caught in the tattoo of Han Solo's teeth.
Weakly, the nerd whispers 'Our instructions are to give it to Jabba himself'...
