A True Star Wars Fan!!!











A woman wore a Stormtrooper costume to her graduation so I do not know if this qualifies as being a fan or a fanatical fan or just plain crazy!
From the story:

Ever hear the story about the woman who wore her Star Trek uniform to jury duty? Interestingly enough, I have another story to tell along that same lines, but with a different genre.

Manja Peters, who is a 36 year old woman, and a student from Canterbury University in the United Kingdom, decided she wanted to do something special for her last graduation. So in order to celebrate getting her Bachelor of

Fine Arts Degree, Peters decided to wear a full Star Wars Stormtrooper Costume during the ceremony.The reason for the costume, Peters admits, is that she is a film major and that she grew up watching Star Wars. It was directors like George Lucas who gave her the interest in film studies. Plus she says, it was meant as a way to make others happy. She commented:

I also wanted to bring a few smiles to people’s faces. It’s been tough, with the recession and redundancies.

Not everyone, though, seemed joyous about her wardrobe selection. According to Peters, some people felt nervous about the costume. But she explained, “I’m short so I’m not that imposing.”

Now where have I heard a line about a short Stormtrooper before? Hmm.
