Signs you may be addicted to the Star Wars franchise


Let’s face it, if you’re going to be addicted to something then being addicted to Star Wars is not too bad a place to find yourself in. Unless you are actually hung up on death sticks. Then you’ve got it realllly bad and you need to go home and rethink your life.

17. You know that some of the Dagobah swamp scenes were filmed in Lucas’s private swimming pool.
