Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The best part about being a geek?  You learn early to follow your bliss and say 'to hell' with the crowd. Boba Fett fans are particularly excellent geeks, and strong individuals.

That's awesome, lol. Maybe soon we will see weddings conducted in Mando'a? tongue Whatever the case, this is news to me...

Just to screw with him, I should demand we renew our vows in full Mando. Just for kicks, though, I will invite a few Klingons.

I actually didn't pick up on languages as easily as I did sciences.  I did well my first year of Spanish, but just about flunked my second year (we started getting picky with grammar--first year was vocab), so I'm surprised I'm finding Mando'a easier to pick up (though it isn't an actual wordly language--it is still fun I agree!!).  I would also like to learn German--my mom knows some German from her time over there, and as we have some German heritage in our family, that makes me want to learn it more.

"Munit ca'nara, ne'haa'tayli"--------- long time, no see (from me anyway... lol)

Isn't it unpractical and geeky that you made a Boba costume? Why waste time making a costume for a fake character? Why not do something more realistic like making medevil armor or something? Like Chrys, just trying to make a point.

I, too, think that learning Mando'a would be a cool idea. If only for practice to help you learn other languages. When I was a kid I tried to learn Spanish and I did very well, and I think that's really helped me be able to pick up bits and peices of other languages, fake or real. And besides, even if you do learn a real language what's the garuntee that it really will help you later in life? The tiny bits of spanish I still remember hasn't helped me one bit, whereas Huttese has helped me better understand many things. (How many people here can honestly say they understand almost everything the security droid on Jabba's door said in the beginning of ROTJ? I can.)

Besides, it's an entertainment thing. Why watch a fake movie? Entertainment. Why learn a fake language? Entertainment. Nothing wrong with that.

Sorry if I sounded negative there, everybody.  I really don't think the BFFC is a waste of time.  I was just trying to prove a point.

Thanks for the links, BTW.

I have mixed feelings about this whole language arts thing. As a Fett Fan, I feel obligated to at least listen and give it a shot at learning. But I do feel weird about this invented language. Then again, all of Star Wars is invented, so that shoots the argument out of the water.  The DH cotninually teases me by making up words and telling me he's speaking Mando'a. He likes to do this in public places, like the mall and Chili's. (And he's 42!!!) So I figure I'm at least getting some entertainment value out of the whole experience.

Of note: my local SUNY campus offers Klingon as a language credited course (Got to love NY state), and yes, Eric, Fett Fans are 'so crazy'. It's a nice kind of mania, actually, and proof that not all obsessions end badly.
