Star Wars Joke-A-Day

I’ve written before about how much I enjoy the quiz book Obsessed With Star Wars.  I’ve spent hours poring through its (pretty tough) questions… and you should make sure to bring it to CVI!  You’ll be the most popular person in line.

However, Obsessed With Star Wars wasn’t its original title. In fact, they went through a whole slew of names before deciding upon that moniker. And now, revealed for the first time anywhere, I present…

The Top Ten Alternate Titles for Obsessed With Star Wars

(drumroll please)

#10 —- In Debt From Star Wars

#9 —- Aroused By Star Wars

#8 —- Court Ordered To Stay Fifty Feet Away From Star Wars At All Times

#7 —- You Know What I Like About Star Wars? Everything

#6 —- Driven To An Eating Disorder By Star Wars

#5 —- In A Co-Dependent Relationship With Star Wars

#4 —- Dropped Out Of Law School Because Star Wars Asked Me To

#3 —- I Don’t Just Like Star Wars, I Like-Like Star Wars

#2 —- This Is My Brain… This Is My Brain On Star Wars

And the #1 alternate title is —- Indecently Exposed To Star Wars

The cool thing about books such as Obsessed with Star Wars, You Can Draw Star Wars, and Mad About Star Wars (all of which I highly recommend) is that they have some equally-cool stepbrothers across the pop culture spectrum. For example, there’s Obsessed with Baseball, You Can Draw: Transformers, and Mad About the Sixties.

But the fine folks at LucasBooks and Lucas Licensing don’t just approve every crossover idea submitted for their approval… in fact, plenty of fascinating book treatments were quickly rejected, then never heard from again.

Until now, of course!  So join me, will you, as we run down…
